The author, Ariel Levy, was on NPR today talking about her article in the New Yorker about Cindy McCain.
The highlights:
* The story about Mother Theresa pushing her to adopt her daughter - a lie. She wasn't even there.
* Talks about the oddity of adopting a child & bringing it home without even discussing it with her husband.
* Cindy often stares off into space.
* Hypocracy=Works to remove landmines, but won't take a position about using them in the 1st place.
* Talks about "traditional family" when she's a homewrecker who claims to be an only child - BUT her daddy had 2 kids with his 1st wife before Cindy's mom wrecked that home.
* At her father's funeral, Cindy made the claim of being an only child in front of 1 of her 1/2 sisters. They haven't spoken since.
* She stole & became addicted to drugs for a charity for which she worked.
* John McCain wasn't made aware of the addiction until Cindy was already under DEA investigation.
I don't want to attack the spouses, but if this campaign is going to be about "personalities" instead of issues, as the Repubs say, then we should show people who this phony, pill-popping, snotty beotch really is!
