Cindy McCain was new to Washington and not yet 30 when she arrived at a luncheon for Congressional spouses to discover a problem with her name tag. It read Carol McCain. That was the well-liked wife John McCain had left to marry Cindy, to the disapproval of many in Washington. -snip- If Mr. McCain wins, she would have to return to the town she says she dislikes, attending the same sorts of luncheons she once fled from. But this time maybe at the annual event that Congressional wives have for the first lady the women of Washington, including a few who shunned her the first time around, would have to applaud in Mrs. McCains honor.

The article is shameless. At one point, the author posed as a 16 year old on myspace to penetrate Cindy's daughters school friends and teachers. Plenty of picking on her for battles with drugs....

The Friends reported on it just now...called it an "in the toilet" hit piece. The McCain lawyer had a great response asking why they didn't go after Michelle, Barry's drug dealers or Barry's family in Kenya.

Just when you think the Slimes can't go any lower - on the positive side - Cindy has enough money in her petty cash account to sue pinchy into bankruptcy without even batting an eyelash....

Have they done one of these on Michell Obama? What about Obama’s drug use days? I guess Cocaine is okay when compared to prescription pain killers.

Bottom line Cindy McCain does not play their silly little games, so they don’t like her. Well boo freaking hoo.

Funny. Mrs. McCain hates DC and Mrs. Obama hates America.

The “Gray Lady” is nothing but a filthy whore! Sold out to the marxists who want to take over our great nation.

Cindy McCain has helped more children in ONE year of her life than Hillary and Michelle have in their whole (cough, cough) careers.

Shhhhh....that's racist. Oh, it wasn't crack but coke instead? Do we know enough Joe the Plumber's vehicle ownership history?

Halbfinger was a gossip columnist for the Slimes in Tinseltown, but couldn’t cut the mustard there. Just goes to show how times have changed. Sinatra used to sing of New York that “if you can make it there, you’ll make it anywhere...” but Halbfinger couldn’t make it anywhere, so he had to go to the New York Times where he could make it up.

Keep this between us, but I hear Joe also ripped the tags off his mattress. Shhhhh!

Cindy was too busy really helping people around the world with her work to attend those little Washington “geesh arent I important,being married to a Senator” lunch bunch meetings.
How dare she actually do some good while they play at it.

To: Old Retired Army Guy
This is an alarm bell. Methinks that API article on Michelle Obama may be true. The Democrats operate on an “everybody does it” policy and why now would they try to attack Cindy? Think about it.
To: greyfoxx39
Thanks for the ping.
I think I see more backlash coming.
Let me see, who do I want to see as First Lady of the United States, Cindy McCain or Michelle Obama? Someone who knows how to dress and conduct herself like a lady or someone who wears things that look like shower curtains and does “fist bumps.”
Easy.

Just imagining who will be regulars at state dinners at the WH under Obama makes my stomach turn!
