Cindy McCain's drug addiction highlights press double standards

they would go nuts if it was obama. Terrorist fist bump my ass. It's just givin' daps.

Good to know the truth, hopefully Mrs. McCain has changed her ways. Why does the Obama story get more press? Because Fox News is not fair and balance like they claim. Don't they realize that relating to the younger generations of voters is a good thing? The Obamas do, and it will help them towards capturing the white house, not hurt their campaign. I hope this is brought up in the main stream media, in the next months to come.

mrs. mccain hasn't changed her ways - she's just found doctors who are also drug dealers.

This is really funny because yesterday I say an interview of her and made bets - based on her appearance she was taking at least steriods - no doubt she's taking the elixir mcvain is taking - and who knows what else.

We don't need idiots on mind altering substances to be running our country - that's what we have now.

This should be looked into twice, and people should really leave out their wives. They are not the ones running the country, if there is something of this caliber about Obama and Mccain, then I would understand. Get over it , their wives are really nothing. I do agree that if it was Michelle Obama, the press would have had a field day with this story, and somehow would have also made it seem like Barack Obama also had something to do with it. Oh well, this country is really delirious, and I would be extremely surprised if the democratic party wins, which hopefully they will.

LMAO. Id take drugs if i were married to John McCain too. He looks like he beats her.

she looks stoned every time i see her. something is wrong with that woman. she's either stoned outta her mind and/or a robot. i haven't figured out which.

Coke Whore. BARACK WOULD NOT HAVE MADE IT OUT OF THE PRIMARIES IF THIS WERE ON MICHELE'S MARVELOUS RESUME'. THIS IS RACIST DOUBLE STANDARD.

McCain's first wife was crtically injured in an auto accident while he was in Nam. After multiple surguries that left her cripple,and her face badly damaged, her height dropped from 5'9" to 5'4" inches. He came home and divorced within a year and married this rich Barbie Doll, within a month.

Ross Perot calls McCain the biggest lying, egomaniac that he's ever met.

I decided to go to CNN MSNBC and FOX news to see if this was on the front page or anywhere else....not a thing.... where is the outrage??

HOORAY.. for fair and balanced!!

Honestly, this political favoritism shouldn't be surprising to anyone-- Except to the members of the loyal conservative base.

Cindy McCain was addicted to prescription pain killers and stole the drugs from a CHARITY she founded to help third-world countries? Wow.

It's only fair that the media report on this. But what if they reported it in the context of, "she got over her problem, let's move on and leave the spouses out of it?"

"I did not inhale!" - got front page coverage for a few months. While Cindy moved on to the harder stuff. There is an old saying amongst "users" - once a junky always a junky. The GOP foisted off Reagan who had Alzheimer's while in office, then Bushit who's IQ can be measured using a vegetable scale, and now a doddering old fool who mimes his predecessor and wants to increase pollution instead of seeking alternatives to our fuel gluttony.

I think the key word in the headline is "was". She was a drug addict. Granted, I'm not a fan of Cindy McCain. She could take a few lessons from Laura Bush on classiness.

Still, she comes from a beer fortune. Should it be surprising if there's some addiction in her blood?

As for the media, yes, it probably is unfair. To be honest, I read about her addiction on Wikipedia a few weeks ago.

I was also thinking that she probably needs to be under the influence of something to find the strength to lay down with that dried old popcorn fart.
She's a sharp looking cougar that's hooked up with a delusional and mean spirited egomaniac.
Can you blame her for getting high?

Laura Bush killed a guy.

Somehow they always use the "It happened a long time ago" excuse.

Laura Bush killed a guy in a car accident in 1963. She ran a stop sign. Her family made sure that she was never charged.
Cindy McCain is a drug addict that used illegal drugs and pain killers. Whenever people like her go to treatment, they always say that is was prescription medication. It doesn't sound as bad as.........


"JUNKIE COKE WHORE"

Whenever mccain appears publicly, like-minded individuals should yell out how's your wife's drug rehab program going? And start giving the fox news channel no other alternative but to address this issue. Of course, they will try to spin it, but as they promote their agenda, we like-minded must take the spot light back and force through civil disobedience and rude outbursts the true story and news.

i dont mean to jump off topic.. but she looks like a dude....just an observation

one thing's for sure, boy is she creepy looking.

and if anyone claims that obama's an elitist compared to cindy, then they're clearly deranged.

This seems awfully similar to the Regan Administration. While Ronny and his wife preached "Just say NO!" She was popping perscription pills like a gun on New Years Eve. Deja Vu!

im sorry but this fucking pisses me off i for a few years battled my addiction she has the right to privacy and i hope that she gets better. (If this stroy is even true) You people on this site claim to be tolerant and whatever, but if someone is married to someone you hate you guys treat her terribly. "junkie coke whore" keith do you go to the ghettos of atlanta and call them crack whores? no im sure you say that they should get help and hope for the best for them. This is fucking shameful

Addiction effects millions of americans and their family and should not be taken lightly. Shit you guys already knew that.

it's not so much about her, but about the media. they will take any and every chance to drag michelle and barack through the mud but cindy over here gets a pass. what's up with that? if you're going to talk about michelle and whatever she's done and said, you better bring up cindy and her past.

If you all remember the 'buying drugs funds terrorism' PSA, does this make Cindy a terrorist? I mean, Cindy buys drugs. This means Cindy sponsors terrorism Thus making Bush's war on terrorism a war on Cindy. Jesus. Well, if Bush declared war on my wife then I would want to distance myself from him too!

I hate that Cindy McCain's drug problem is being drug out. I don't like her. But it seems kind of sleezy to do. Michelle Obama doesn't need Cindy's problems to prop her up she is ethical and decent and it shines through without trashing Cindy. We have someone to be proud of without using sleeze. If we just keep pointing out how good Michelle is.

She's (considered) attractive (by some) and she's white and Republican and independently tremendously wealthy by inheritance (not work). Obama's opponents in the media are more concerned with portraying his wife as some kind of threat to America and misrepresenting her (like the nonexistent video talked about where she allegedly says "whitey" when she was saying "Why'd he"). Michelle is a threat to these folks because she's brilliant and strong. Republicans like their women meek, mild (sappy and stupid), and as second class citizens or perfect hostesses. Cindy fits that bill perfectly, plus she's eye-candy.

I think this is Dirty Politics. Slaming a woman is not correct, even less a probable First Lady. I'm not even from the US, but Obama is my way to go. I find this disturbing news, not because of the drugs but because the harm they can cause.

Respect above everything else.

I wouldn't say thats very unusual for a rich republicans. Obama for '08. I don't think candidate's personal lives have everything to do with their ability to be an effective leader. Don't let stories of dirty laundry cloud your minds voters.

drugs or not -- she looks like a stepford wife.

leave Cindy alone...

I can not believe that no one hardly mentions this womans addiction issues It in fact it was Baracks wife they would be all over it and tearing them both apart. Frankly I can not see me even if I was a republican voting for McCain after reading this.

True they are ponly the wives but How much attention is he paying to the job with having to babysit his addicted wife. Who is to say she will not be sneaking money again and being 1st lady she will have access to a lot more of a budget in the White House than she did before. No way Let John stay home and care for wifey.

I hate this damned election -- not because of the candidates, but because of the slimy pundits that have crawled out of the wood work to cover it. Only in America, could a channel like Fox News exist; forgiven, time after time, for propagating ignorance and intolerance.

Never have I been as appalled as I am now, by the ignorant, cake-eating, pieces of elephant crap (not donkey), that have convinced themselves (as well as their ever-faithful viewers) that journalism and ignorance go hand in hand.

not to mention she's a homewrecker...

Hmmmm....Im a dem. But seriously guys...why havent the Obama campaign gone after Cindy for her former drug use? BECAUSE OBAMA USED DRUGS TOO. He can't be a blatant hypocrate like that.

Obama is running a respectful campaign. That's why he's not attacking McCain's wife.

I honestly don't see why this would be of any relevance. Obama supporters should not participate in smear campaigning, and McCain supporters clearly wouldn't vote this up.

Bullshit Julie if obama hadnt used drugs himself he would be all over this.

I didn't know Rush and Cindy were crew.....

Gotta pill?

Hypocritical if you are going to point it out if you were not going to point it out if it were someone you were going to vote for.

Hypocritical if you want drugs legalized.

I think that she should be in trouble for what she did and if she already has been and has paid the price then this is all pointless no matter what political party she is with.

Is it just me or is she about 5 seconds from being a zombie extra?

This picture really, REALLY is creeping me out.
