Consequences of Cindy McCain's Drug Abuse Were More Complex Than She Has Portrayed
Her misuse of painkillers prompted an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration and local prosecutors that put her in legal jeopardy. A doctor with McCain's medical charity who supplied her with prescriptions for the drugs lost his license and never practiced again. The charity, the American Voluntary Medical Team, eventually had to be closed in the wake of the controversy. Her husband was forced to admit publicly that he was absent much of the time she was having problems and was not aware of them.
"It's not just about her addiction, it's what she did to cover up her addiction and the lives of other people that she ruined, or put at jeopardy at least," Gosinski said in an interview this week.
Cindy and John McCain declined repeated requests to be interviewed for this article. The McCain campaign also declined to comment.

if our government exists to represent the peoples interest, and all of our options are liars who cover up thier basic human flaws this is what happens. it would be nice if instead of lies and cover ups our leaders could just admit they are human like everyone else in the general public and create policies that positively affect the general public instead of portraying an unreasonable standard and creating laws that are too unreasonable. if instead of demonising drug addiction we treated people for drug addiction this story would be a fluff piece about a woman who overcame an obstical not a republican covering up bad deeds.(AGAIN)
