Earlier, Cindy says that Palin's got experience because she served in the PTA!

And just previous to this clip, Cindy was taking umbrage at Obama' for saying that her husband is "out of touch" because he doesn't know how many houses he owns. Gimme a break.

Cindy McCain, Mick Hucknall and now this? LEAST SEXY QUEUE EVER.

At least eye candy can be dumb occasionally and get away with it. Cindy McCain, though? Nope.

And what is with the diamond Marine and Navy pins?

^ I think you're looking for Cindy McCain's stolen recipes for neocon cookies: mix 1 part coal, 10 parts oil, 3 parts American blood, 100 parts Iraqi blood, a dash of shredded $100 bills, and all the carbon dioxide you could want.

Mix together for 30 long years, and serve on a bed of shredded Constitution.

Enjoy!

^ He married Cindy Hennessey, who's a beer distributorship heiress.

Senators also seem to find ways to make ridiculous amounts of cash.

Bonus points to bravenewfilms for working in Cindy's comment about small private plane being the only way to travel in Arizona.

To a degree, I'm not so concerned about the affair itself. Instead I'm concerned about the fact that he knew both that a) there were rumors about his affair circulating, and b) that the rumors were true...and decided to make a serious bid to become the Democratic nominee for President anyway.

For Democrats, cheating on their wives seems to be their biggest crime -- they like the booty, and it usually costs them a lot politically.

But, which would you rather have, Clinton getting blow jobs from interns in the White House, or Bush staying loyal to his wife and shredding the Constitution?

Also, keep in mind that there's not much secrecy about McCain's affair. Not the Vikki Iseman story, the affair he had with Cindy Hennessy (now Cindy McCain) while still married to his wife who was recovering from a car accident at the time.

It doesn't seem to bother people as much, even though that affair resulted in him ditching his wife for a younger model. Where is the party of "family values" right now? Bitching full steam about Edwards, even though he's not running for anything anymore. They're certainly not up in arms about Bush and torture.

Personally, I wish people would leave Edwards alone now. His career in politics is over, and he's obviously going through some hard family times already, even before this became a national story (his wife has cancer, remember?).

He definitely made a mistake, but at this stage, it's really none of our business anymore.

Karl Rove's freedom is one of the things that makes Cindy McCain so proud of the USA.

Contempt isn't even the word. It's a mockery. The obvious distain that Rove has for our government and our laws is apparent not only in his actions, but in the smirk on his fat, pudgy face.

The fact that this man has been allowed to get away with this for so long is one of the reasons that I feel such shame for the USA. He's obviously a criminal who is flouting the laws because he's connected to the rich and powerful.

Cute. From the ABC news site:

"I have to be greeted properly -- fist-bump, please," Obama said in her opening line, pressing fists with each of her co-hosts in response to a Fox News Channel report depicting her fist "dap" with her husband on the night he won the nomination as a "terrorist fist jab."

She explained she learned the greeting from young staffers on the Obama campaign.

"It's the new high-five," she said.

Michelle Obama is viewed more favorably by likely voters than Cindy McCain, 48 percent to 39 percent, according to a recent ABC News/Washington Post poll. But while Obama leads in favorability, many voters say they haven't formed an opinion yet of McCain, and slightly more voters also view Obama unfavorably — 29 percent vs. McCain's 25 percent.

Scrutiny of the potential first ladies was evident among audience members waiting to get into the live show.

"I think she's wonderful," Veronica Deas, 45, said of Michelle Obama.

Deas drove from Maryland to see 'The View' with her sister and four girlfriends.

"She's intelligent, she knows the issues, she stands by her man but she's not going to try to take his job," she said in an apparent jab at Sen. Clinton.

Is that Cindy McCain? Conforming, vapid, and codependent -- check, check check.

In all serious though, sexism is one thing, but the true sin of the 50s is that people thought Folgers tasted good.

TPM
Should Cindy McCain's Brain Damage Be A Campaign Issue?

Are you trolling?

The partially transparent fox news graphic was obviously in the foreground, not the background. The graphic peels away to reveal the entire background video, except for the fox logo in the middle. So yes, McCain's face wasn't quite in the direct middle of the frame so it wasn't occluded. (when the cut is made, the overlay has only peeled away from the right half of the video, but it's on its way out).

The images of John and Cindy McCain were not unrelated, they were standing next to each other on stage in that footage.

The weird thing is not the fancy, peel-away intro graphic before a McCain story, but why there's a quick cut to the anchors instead of continuing that story. My guess is, once again, that they just recycled footage from earlier/later in the broadcast. Or this clip is just a mash up between two unrelated segments.

I posted this link in the comments section over at another McCain tidbit: http://www.videosift.com/video/Cindy-McCain-Refuses-to-Release-Her-Tax-Returns-Ever

From Crooks & Liars: I’ll tell you a little secret: at first blush, I’m not inclined to care. The McCains have more money than some countries, they haven’t been accused of any financial improprieties, and while it’s interesting when a guy like McCain opposes minimum-wage increases while flying around on his wife’s private jet, I’m not exactly itching to go through Cindy McCain’s tax returns. In fact, I’m not surprised that someone of her wealth would want to keep her returns free of scrutiny.

But this is absolutely relevant in this presidential campaign for a few reasons.

First, John McCain, for all of his talk about the importance of transparency and disclosure, has gone out of his way to ensure that all of his assets are in his wife’s name. And as Kevin recently noted, “There’s only one reason for a politician to make sure that all his assets are in his wife’s name: it’s to make sure that no one knows anything about his assets. It’s not as if McCain is the first pol to try this, after all. Is the press really going to let him get away with this?”

Which leads us to the second reason this matters: McCain has always relied on his wife’s wealth, and has always “mixed business and politics.” If the point of releasing tax returns is to offer voters a chance to get a better sense of the candidate, then it’s incumbent on the McCains to stop acting like they have something to hide.

And third, there’s just the shameless hypocrisy of it all. In 2004, the Republican National Committee spent quite a bit of time and energy demanding that the Kerry campaign release Teresa Heinz Kerry’s tax returns. The candidate’s wife resisted, but after pressure from the GOP and the media, she eventually gave in and made the materials publicly available.

The situation is exactly the same. John Kerry made less money than his wife, who inherited most of her fortune. McCain is practically broke, and relies on his wife’s millions, which were also inherited.

In other words, if we hold the McCains to the standards set by the Republican Party, they owe the public some additional information. The press hounded the Kerrys on this; we’ll see if the media chooses to give the McCains equal treatment. I’m not optimistic.

Crooks & Liars has started a McCain Tax Return Watch

And CNN has started to cover it
