I had no idea that Cindy’s drug involvement was so sordid! Stolen drugs? DEA investigation? Wow. Here I thought she was low for having an affair with a married man. I had no idea how low.

You have no idea. Even TBogg’s link doesn’t really describe it. If she hadn’t been the wife of a sitting US Senator, Cindy “Better Living Through Chemistry” McCain would have been doing hard time. Not Lindsay Lohan spend 6 weeks in rehab time, some serious time.

On top of the adultery, the being the only member of the Keating Five not to resign in disgrace, it shocks me, truly shocks me, that this state not only reelects him, but frankly, hasn’t really run anybody against him who could seriously challenge him.

Hopefully in 2010 Janet Napolitano can unseat him.

It all makes sense now. That kid is the offspring of her affair with the pusherman. I can see her now slinking through the hood of Sedona, desperate to “cop”.
Hypocrisy exposed isn’t good for a presidential campaign.

Jeebus….. Michelle Obama mixes up her adjectives, and the Outrage Pimps (h/t John Cole at Balloon Juice) go into overdrive. I mean, she and her husband have been campaigning for, what, about 2 years straight? She probably just needed a nap.

A troll over at Balloon Juice can’t wait to see how Obama handles it once “Fox News make it an issue”. Dude… when Fox makes something an issue, it immediately attains the awesome cred of a TMZ report on Britney’s cooter.

Yeah, the right-wingers think they can milk this one for the next nine months. They were even more silly, shrill and unhinged today than normal, maybe it’s a president’s day hangover.

The whole flag pin thing didn’t work out so well for the GOP, so they’re on to this.

Something tells me Obama’s going to find himself a pitbull of a VP running mate who is going to have the time of his/her life carving up St. John. You don’t get elected in Chicago playing nice, and McCain – with the help of his media buddies – has built himself a glass house of McMansion proportions.

It shocks me, truly shocks me, that this state not only reelects him, but frankly, hasn’t really run anybody against him who could seriously challenge him.

Well, hell, the man’s a war hero. What kind of electorate would choose some worthless schmuck over a genuine soldier in a time of war against…

Never mind.

Hoping that pitbull might be Jim Webb. He has little love recently for McBush, despite having ‘nam service in common way back when. Navy flyboys & Semper Fiboys don’t as a rule mix well…

CBS exits have Obama smashing HRC.

Not only that, but Cindy McCain’s father made his money bootlegging.

Good times. Thanx for the news.

Cindy’s on methadone, we see it in her eyes

It’s not so much better but it’s just another high

But she stopped! calling at three-thirty

Stopped! looking thin and dirty

Stopped! screaming bloody murder when she got cut off

– Screeching Weasels’ “Cindy’s on Methadone”

Could be the new theme for wacky Mac.

How bad do you think a McCain administration could be?

Please don’t make me think about that…

Funny how she couldn’t unscrew that pinched little yap long enough to do something when her family was being barbecued by racists in South Carolina eight years ago, but now she’s all steamed up.

Priorities, cookie.

This is all very interesting, but I’m still waiting for some more candid shots of young Meghan McCain and her “superdelegates”.

C’mon Tbogg, help a brother out dude.

Just Google “cindy mccain drugs.” The Phoenix local press covered Cindy’s extensive “diversion”–theft–of drugs from the inventory of this medical charity. In addition, she had scripts for Percodan and Vicodin written by doctors in the names of the charity’s employees, without their knowledge or consent. She’s a regular Limbaugh of doctor-shopping!

Thank you, Tbogg, for slagging Cindy for this crime, as she so richly deserves. And keep it up–the MSM has been curiously mute on the subject of Cindy’s, ah, little problem. (She reportedly was using during her three pregnancies and while adopting her youngest, behavior that would get other peoples’ children taken away from them.) I know it’s a tired phrase, but if you or I had felonied up as she did, we’d be sitting in Stripe City without designer shoes.

Of course it goes without saying that if the wifey-drug-problem-history were associated with any Democratic politician, there would be veritable media feeding frenzy starting right about 2 weeks ago.

When I was campaigning for Kerry in Orlando in 2004 I met a man who wouldn’t vote for Kerry because he didn’t have a flag pin on his lapel. Kid you not.

The f*cking media never ceases to amaze. W the cokehead and Cindy the drug-stealing junkie get off scott free. Try to think back to when we all found out Clinton had smoked a joint. ZOMG!!!1!!1

To me, this is the money quote of the scandal:

From an article entitled “Pluck, leaks helped McCain to overcome S&L scandal”…

By Walter V. Robinson, Globe Staff, 2/29/2000

In 1989, Keating himself left no doubt that the campaign funds he lavished on the five senators were designed to produce results, when he declared to reporters: ”One question, among the many others raised in recent weeks, had to do with whether my financial support in any way influenced several political figures to take up my cause. I want to say in the most forceful way I can: I certainly hope so.”

On top of the adultery, the being the only member of the Keating Five not to resign in disgrace

Sorry to contradict you, but none of the Senators resigned in disgrace. Cranston (80 years old) was formally reprimanded by the ethics committee, however, he finished his term but did not run for re-election in 1992. Riegle, and Deconcini were sharply criticized by the ethics committee, but they also finished their terms, and also declined to run for re-election in 1994 when their terms expired. John Glenn and John McCain were given the lightest of criticism by the ethics committee, and John Glenn went on to run for re-election in 1994 for one more term. McCain was the only Republican involved in the mess; the others were all Dems. Sorry, it’s just a fact.

I believe when Obama was asked about marijuana use, he replied, “Of course I inhaled. That’s the point.” And then the story went away with its tail between its legs.
