Cindy gets caught telling another whopper!
Once a thief and liar, always a thief and liar. What next? :rofl:

The story about Mother Teresa “convincing” Mrs. McCain to bring home two children from an orphanage in Bangladesh has been retold many times. Initially, the “About Cindy McCain” page on the McCain campaign website read: “Mother Teresa convinced Cindy to take two babies in need of medical attention to the United States. One of those babies is now their adopted daughter, 16-year-old Bridget McCain.”

The media picked up the theme. A story earlier this year on ABC’s “Good Morning America” stated, “With Mother Teresa’s encouragement she brought her fourth child, Bridget, home.” An April 2008 Wall Street Journal profile states that Mother Teresa “implored” Cindy to bring the girls to the United States. Other articles say Cindy did it “at the behest” of Mother Teresa.

But a source who was with McCain on that 1991 trip, and who asked that his name not be used because of prior legal dealings with the McCain family, says that Mother Teresa was not at the orphanage when Cindy decided to bring the two girls home.

A 1991 article in the Arizona Star at the time of the adoption only mentions that the children were from an orphanage that was started by Mother Teresa. It does not mention a meeting with Mother Teresa or her asking McCain to bring the girls to the US.

According to biographies of Mother Teresa, in 1991 she was in Mexico where she developed medical problems. From there, she went to a hospital in La Jolla, Calif.

A McCain source acknowledged that Cindy McCain did not meet Mother Teresa during the 1991 trip to Bangladesh but said McCain did meet her later on, although the source could not say when or where. The campaign has since reworded the reference to the adoption on its website

3. McCadaver's corpse bride will be given a pass on this one, too.
Then she can go back to silently casting a shadow of gloom wherever she goes.

5. Didn't John McCain say that Mother Theresa drew back her veil
from the North Vietnamese uniform as she drew the cross in the dirt?

6. Eh, whatever
I doubt this is important. So long as they adopter a daughter in connection with Mother Teresa, I think it passes. Let them tell the story how they want.

Mother Teresa "implored" her to take the girls, then it doesn't count.:sarcasm:

9. Oh come on !! This should scuttle their ambitions right here !
Does not Mother Theresa trump Bosnian Snipers???
Where the hell is the press?? they should be in a frothing frenzy over this juicy scandal.
Not only has the person who hopes to be first lady is a liar... but her commander in chief coveting husband is a liar too.

Geez.

10. What else can you expect from a junkie, home-wrecking liar and a thief?
That's just their way.

(That's certainly how she'd put it if it were one of the rabble who did what she's done caught in such a lie.)

Regards
