His second wife Cindy, the daughter of a wealthy Budweiser beer distributor, was addicted to prescription narcotics and even stole hard drugs from a medical charity that she ran. McCain acknowledges that she didn’t want him to run, and only agreed once he promised that she doesn’t have to go to New Hampshire or Iowa.

Yup.
And if she and McCain were Dems the Dems would be playing it for all it’s worth. Try these on for size and imagine the order in which they’d be trotted out:
“Cindy McCain is an example of what a strong woman can do when she puts her mind to it.”
“With life so stressful and difficult in America today, it’s no wonder that Ms. McCain strayed during a moment of weakness.”
“Ms. McCain has done SO MUCH for the community – THAT’S what we should be focused on here.”
Of course, this would be coming from the same folks whose wacky ‘feminists’ just loved to run around during the ’90s virtually screaming “The personal is political!” Translation: We’ll attack you for having toe jam if that’s how low we have to go to get what we want. After all, we’re right and you’re wrong.
Of course, she is one of the reasons why Bush endorsed McCain
just like brett favre , cindy mccain became addicted to pain killers…this happens to many people afflicted with pain and trauma… not really a news story….
I find it ironic that you dems only have a problem with drug abuse if the abuser is a republican
Did you forget Obama is an admitted ex coke freak
I do not know about NH or Iowa, but the rest is true and very old news.
Pat Nixon, Betty Ford, Cindy McCain – there is a pattern here for Republican wives.

So do you really want to start digging into the candidates
past you will find even obama’s supporters know very little
about what he really stands for except change and hope.
