Those darn liberal papers said Cindy ripped-off the "medical charity" to get money for prescription drugs like Vicodin she was hooked on----and that she bought drugs illegally in the names of her employees.
The DEA was preparing to seek prosecution of Cindy for stealing drugs from the nonprofit when McCain cut a deal with Clinton to call off the dogs. He was extremely cooperative with Clinton from that point on.
Darn liberals NEVER print the whole story. Cindy also lied about drug treatment she claims to have undergone. The poor, poor girl. She's the subject of viscious rumor-mongering. I'm all broke up about this---sob.

Very old news.
$20 says once the campaign begins in earnest, everyone will know everything about this. If the MacCain campaign were smart (and it isn't), they'd leak this story out and defuse it.
Liz, I have read some really good things about Cindy too. Yes, she got hooked on drugs just as Rush did - because of extreme pain.
I have to say this, she is wealthy beyond belief and she doesn’t flaunt it and she stays in the background. We wouldn’t know much about her if not for her husband.
She is his second wife and perhaps she enticed him away, I don’t know. We all have our good and our bad, I guess the final ‘scale’ is what counts.
There was an article in the Wall Street Journal on Cindy McCain, John’s wife:
All I ever saw was this attractive woman standing beside John. I was surprised how talented and involved with world problems she is.
This is a summary of the article. She graduated from Southern Cal and was a special-needs teacher. After her Dad died she became involved with his beer distributing firm and is now the chairwoman. Sales have doubled since she has taken over from her father.
She and Sen. John McCain have a marriage prenuptial agreement; her assets remain separate. She is involved around the world clearing land mines - travels to these
countries on a detonation team and serves on their board.
The McCain’s have a 19 year old serving in Iraq, another son in the Naval Academy, a daughter who recently graduated from Columbia Univ., an adopted daughter in high school, and a son who is the finance guy at
the beer firm.
Raised kids in Phoenix, AZ rather than Washington DC. (better atmosphere). He commuted.
In 1991, Mrs. McCain came across a girl in an orphanage in Bangladesh. Mother Teresa implored Mrs. McCain to take the baby who had a severe cleft palate. She did so without first telling her husband. The couple adopted the girl who has had a dozen operations to repair her cleft palate and other medical problems.
They have a Family Foundation for children’s causes.
She’s active with ‘Halo Trust’ - to clear land mines, provide water and food in war ravaged and developing countries.
She will join an overseas mission of ‘Operation Smile’, a charity for corrective surgery on children’s faces.
She has had two back surgeries and became addicted to pain killers. She talks openly about it which she says is part of the recovery process.
I’m surprised the media is so quiet about her attributes. She sounds more capable than Hillary or Obama.
We would really get two for the price of one.
A person with business and international experience.
John did work for the firm for awhile when he left the Navy. She, however, has the real business experience.
Yup...she’s a drug addict who ripped off pills from a clinic, then ruined the person who tattled on her.
Plus, she committed adultery with McCain when he was married to his first wife...the one that raised his kids when he was in a POW camp, fought fiercely for the POW’s and then was in a horrible accident.
What happened to conservatives believing people had to have higher moral standards than pill-popping, thieving adulteresses???
I don’t get it...it’s like we dare not voice Truth anymore.
Yech.

I went to your link and it reads only like the musings of a disgruntled loser motivated by grand extortion dreams and grandiose delusional schemes.
