"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
What, are they out of Palin hit pieces so soon?
THIS is what the DUmmies were wetting themselves over?
THIS is the bombshell that was going to “END” the McCain campaign?
(seriously....some “lonestar” nut on DU was teasing the DUmmies about this story for days, saying when it came out, it would DESTROY McCain.)
And this is IT?
This is ALL they have?
15-year old recycled “news”?
It smells like desperation.
Cindy is so silly. With her good looks she could have become an actress. Then she could have snorted boatloads of cocaine like Robert Downey Jr. and the press would have left her alone. Left here alone? Hell, she would have been a darling of the media. She could have trashed the U.S. non-stop for decades like Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, or that Richard Gere and the media would have heralded her brilliance.
Instead she cleaned up her act and supports good clean living. No wonder the Post thinks she’s a class I bitch.
I’m still trying to figure out who is running against Cindy. Is Cindy running for anything? Oh that’s right, she’s a family member. I forget that people like Chelsea are off limits and people like Cindy and Sarah’s children are fair game.
Silly me.
I wondered how long it would take the MSM to trot this out. It’s already been disclosed, but no matter.
But of course Barry did a little “blow” when he had the money.
she was in pain. she took prescription drugs and became dependent. now, why was obonga smoking/selling crack?
If the average voter can't be sympathetic towards people who become addicted to painkillers after suffering chronic pain, then there really is no hope for this country.
I know the hard-core extremists went after Rush for this, but I think the rest of the people understood.
First Hillary, then Geraldine, then Sarah, then Sarah’s 17 year old daughter, then Sarah again, and now Cindy. See a pattern?
How about we let some reporters delve into Obama’s drug use? But that was a long time ago. And his case was different....liberals always make excuses for themselves.
Betty Ford turned her problem, once treated at the Naval Hospital in Long Beach, CA into an opportunity.
She founded “The Betty Ford Center” to help others.
It is highly regarded for treatment and recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.

I have no problem that Cindy McCain once got into trouble with prescription pain killers. Further I have no problem that she chooses to be private about it.
A major aspect of recovery is anonymity, which of course the high profile folks don’t get to enjoy.
Many in high positions have had problems. There are daily AA meetings for members of Congress and staff.
Those who have had family members with problems understand the seriousness of addiction.
Once upon a time, the media steered clear of this topic, out of respect for the “anonymity” traditions of the 12 Step programs which started with AA in the 1930s.
No longer does American journalism respect anything, whatsoever except their own unjustified self-importance.
I believe the smears of Gov. Palin’s and Sen. McCain’s family will backfire.
The pig hiding behind lipstick is their unqualified candidate.
Some people are just easily addicted to pain killers like morphine and its analogs. When they are prescribed for them things can easily get out of control. Happened to Rush after they were prescribed to him for his back problem.
My mom was prescribed Vicodin. it had no effect on her except alleviation of pain...she took as few as possible not wanting to get hooked she said...but they did not seem to have any mood elevating effect on her. I took 2 once when I wrenched my knee...seemed only slightly more powerful than Tylenol...and again no mood changes. Just genetic difference I suppose. They did make my ears ring for some reason though.
Well, this story came out at the time that clinton called off the DEA and ordered any charges to be dropped against Cindy. I had expected that the MSM would make a big issue of it at some point this fall.
I doesn’t show Cindy in a good light, certainly. But Obama had better not go there, or someone might ask him about HIS snorting habits. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
Also, it’s interesting that the ComPost is breaking this story NOW, presumably on orders from the DNC. I would have expected it to be an October surprise, so McCain would have less time to respond to it—the way they broke the Bush DUI story at the last minute.
What I think this says is that someone at the DNC has decided, well, it’s “now or never.” Obama is collapsing, and unless they can halt the damage soon, it would be too late to do anything to reverse it. So, they are forced to break it sooner than planned.
A good sign, in a way.
