Yes, the comparison is self-serving. But what bothered me most after reading this article was that Cindy has been married to McCain for 28 years. During this period, she has had 4 kids and three miscarrages. McCain has been largely absent in the lives of his children, and apparently MIA for the latter. McCain was also MIA when Cindy suffered a stroke, and for most of the recovery. It takes a 50+-something man over 7 years of dedicated humping to whomp out enough homunculi to get the above results with a 20-30 something female–after which McCain’s prostatitis no doubt kicked in. Add to this the fact that McCain feels perfectly justified comparing his wife to a whore and calling her a “cunt” in public (”At least I don’t pack on the make-up like some whore, you cunt!” After Cindy commented on his bald spot.) It appears that for all of Cindy’s laudable extracurricular activities, she is willing to let McCain use her as a sperm receptacle and a punching bag for his verbal abuse. Why? What kind of message are we sending to young women when someone like Cindy, who has the financial means and family support to walk away from a crappy relationship, instead chooses to stay “to keep up appearances” or–my favorite–”for the sake of the children?” I’m beginning to think that the reason Megan is so often photographed with a beer bottle in hand just might not be PR for the family business!

“It was almost like a deployment,” Cindy told NEWSWEEK. “What I told the kids from the time they were little is that their dad was deployed and serving our country in Washington.”

By this logic, the wife of every major league baseball player faces the exact same struggles as the spouse of an enlisted man.

All I want to know is what kind of artillary is posted on the top of the steps of the Capitol. I’ve never seen Congress-people run a duck and cover or ’serpentine’ into the Capitol. What exactly does that look like? What fucking heroics! What balls!! (Pardon me, ladies).

She’s just like any wife of a bosun’s mate on a CVN deployed to the Gulf.

Well of course she was. Why, they were probably separated for days while Johnny was heroically voting against services for the troops and benefits for the veterans.

“Wait’ll all the military wives and/or husbands here in San Diego and all over this country get a load of this crock of shit. ”

Well, that will only be true if people become aware that Cindy is Mrs. McC. #2. Does the Newsweek article make that clear?

Not that the 2 marriages is going to be much of a barrier; St Ronnie broke that one. IOKIYAR.

Sure, I can see that. He was off in Washington after running for office on her beer money. She’s just like any wife of a bosun’s mate on a CVN deployed to the Gulf. Of course, it’s a little harder for the average Navy wife to send her corporate jet to pick up her husband for a weekend at one of his homes in the hills near Sedona.

Every good military organization has a Latin motto. The McCain ‘08 organization should consider adopting: Fatti maschi, parol femina.*

*Loosely translated: “Actions are masculine; “bullshit” is for pussies.”

I’m a Navy Brat. Mom was a Navy Wife from the late Forties to the early Sixties. That meant that Dad was making those long Cold War deployments at sea. Sometimes there was no money for a month or two when the allotment checks were screwed up. We communicated via letters that took weeks to go back and forth. Often we didn’t know where Dad’s ship was or when we’d see him next. Throughout all of this, Mom kept the family together and kept our heads up.
For Cindy McCain to drape herself in the mantle of these courageous, incredibly strong women, and that McCain would let her, is clear proof that they’re both tin-eared assholes. In all of her cosseted, drug-addled life she has never had to do anything as tough as stand on the pier with a couple of little kids while Dad’s ship heads out to sea. Cindy McCain is not fit to wash the feet of a Navy Wife.
