I love the snopes article:

In a ramp-up towards the run for the Republican nomination, Senator McCain said to his wife, “I think you could bring style, grace, and elegance back to the White House.”

You cunt...

What do you mean, Dan? Don't all drug offenders get the same chance to go to rehab, do community service, and pay a fair fine? Oh, wait.....

Hey, now... I wonder, are there any regular commenters on the Slog who can give any tricks of the trade for running a successful smear campaign?

Why do you need a smear campaign when you can just report the facts?

If Michelle runs for public office can people mock her for running with her famous husband's name instead of her being a smart lawyer just like they mock Hillary ?

I wish there was a way to email SLOG posts to people, aside from the ol' cut-and-paste.

schnoodle, can't you send the permalink?

Also, I hate that this is even an isssue in this stupid ass country, but it is good to have this up my sleeve.

Substance abuse is par for the course in political wives, but a person as rich as Cindy shouldn't have any trouble getting prescriptions for painkillers, that's just plain poor planning and lack of initiative.

But Cindy is far more glamorous than Michelle.

Cindy McCain looks like she's starring in a pharmaceutical ad anyways.

So I guess now Rush Limbaugh will give McCain his unconditional support.

Michelle will be on Teh Veiw today - RW furor is sure to follow even if she "acts white" for an hour straight.

Cindy could eat puppy brains on live TV & it won't make a splash like Michelle's "Whitey" rumor.

It will NEVER be buried.

Mildly interesting. Old news. Totally beside any relevant fucking point of anything.

Suburban women addicted to prescription drugs is a sizable demographic. Won't hurt them all that much.

The first time I saw Michelle I thought "What a beautiful first lady she'd make". The first time I saw Cindy McLame I said "Bitch on wheels!"
