Cindy, you possibly the best thing about your husband's campaign, but next time you have a photo op, even if it is deep in the heart of hairspray country, ask yourself "What would Condi Rice do?"

It seems that Cindy McCain, John McCain's perfect, blonde beer-baroness wife is about to find herself painted as the latest example of plagiarism on the campaign trail.

America, aren't we too old to be playing with dolls?

Why does the media refuse to ask the simple question so many demand: John McCain, has your marriage to Cindy McCain always been monogamous?

According to Vanity Fair, the outfit Cindy McCain wore Tuesday night cost a whooping $313,100. The McCains have received $313,413 thanks to George Bush's tax cut.

Only 24% of white Americans have a favorable view of Michelle Obama. How could she be less popular than the most unpopular president in US history? I have an answer: racism.

It's curious how, in the three days since Carol McCain gave an interview elaborating on her debilitating accident and how her playboy husband left her, the American media hasn't touched the story.

If you thought the Republican primary field was a bit of a joke, wait until you get a closer look at the front runners for the vice presidential slot.

She's exactly the kind of leader America needs: the kind that will always put country first -- even if that country happens to be The Republic of Alaska.

In the mid-nineties, Cindy was addicted to prescription pain killers. Worse, she was stealing the drugs from the American Voluntary Medical Team, a third world relief organization she founded.

Cindy McCain is up to her old tricks. Her recipe for oatmeal-butterscotch cookies featured in the latest issue of Family Circle magazine is identical to a recipe on Hersheys.com.

The media's collective failure means that for the next four years we will have a cottage industry of Obama rumormongering that will make Bill Clinton and Vince Foster look like child's play.

aaanyway,
This year for Halloween, I want to be really scary.
I am going to dress up as either Sarah Palin, Michele Bachman, Joe the Plumber or The Wolfman.
Happy Halloween!

Brilliant article. Authenticity and honesty is so frightening, we build our whole lives around avoiding it. We spin a cocoon around our inner selves, trying to distance ourselves from the parts of ourselves we find icky and ugly and 'bad" - and breaking through into any kind of authenticity feels like a major upheaval. The drag on our energy, the stiffness it creates in our bodies, the things we make ourselves do to keep the cocoon tight and opaque - if we could liberate it, small bit by small bit - would save us all. What if we could practice honesty and authenticity in small ways throughout our days and our lives so that we became used to what it feels like?
Thanks for the great post (I post about relationships for women at http://blog.HaveTheRelationshipYouWant.com) - would look forward to your thoughts...
Another fascinating post. But I quibble with your re-imagining of Bill Clinton for two reasons. First, the Lewinsky outing was clearly a ploy designed to embarrass Clinton and the perpetrators didn't give a fig who got hurt in the process. Secondly, as someone pointed out at the time, there seems to have been genuine feeling between them. If the latter is true, then not only does Clinton have to acknowledge HRC, he also has to acknowledge Lewinsky. That might be a lot more honesty than a lot of people can stand.
People need to know, this is a woman he had an affair with while he was marrying to his other wife. The same wife he left when she got into a car accident and lost several inches from her height.

The Bully in Fiji - My Holiday with McCain By ANASUYA DUBEY
Just before John McCain's 2000 presidential nomination run in that I vacationed in Fiji with John McCain and family.
He waxed on during one meal about how Indo-Chinese women had the best figures. He also made comments to Amy, a 25 year old that she should eat less. McCain's appreciation of Asian women was so great that David the American economist had to move his Thai wife away as McCain kept flirting with & touching her.
I decided he must have some redeeming qualities to adopt a handicapped child from Bangladesh . I asked him about this and he said: "Oh, that was Cindy's idea - I didn't have anything to do with it. She just went and adopted this thing without even asking me. You can't imagine how people stare when I wheel this ugly, black thing around in a shopping cart in Arizona . No, it wasn't my idea at all."
In a political discussion of the active US bombing of Iraq at that time, he said "if I was in charge, I would nuke Iraq to teach them a lesson". I commented on the tragic attacks on Japan during WWII - but he said that if it was up to him he would have dropped many more nuclear bombs on Japan . His experience being tortured as a POW had made him more aggressive, and vengeful towards the world.
