Yup. I heard some mention on some entertainment show that she might have had breast implants. I was changing channels so I can't add any more.

So, you felt that "some mention on some entertainment show that she might have" worth bringing up on a thread about McCain?

[mkjessup]

Yup. I heard some mention on some entertainment show that she might have had breast implants. I was changing channels so I can't add any more.

In all fairness to Sarah, I don't buy it. This is from her beauty pageant in '84, It should be clear to any sincere admirer of the female form that Sarah did NOT need implants then, and doesn't need them now.

A fine all-American rack, indeed:

[Dem Guard]

You didn’t catch the hub bub on cable about her picture at the race track when they claim she is bigger than before?

[Tulsa Ramjet]

Such b.s.
She had a bust in college ergo the shirt she had back then “i may be broke, but im not flat busted.”

One time she decides to where a form fitting shirt and the silicone staulkers get all wee-weed up.

[Dem Guard]

I haven’t caught her response to this yet but it should be a hoot!

[mkjessup]

You didn’t catch the hub bub on cable about her picture at the race track when they claim she is bigger than before?

No, I can't say I did, and again: unless someone has the nerve to try to get up close enough to check her cup size (and I suspect Todd Palin might take exception to that, lol), there is no way to know for sure. Clothes, undergarments, foundations, girdles, any and all of those factors can effect how those puppies are presented to the public.

I say she presents 'em pretty damn good.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Now J.D., go after McCain for the Indian Casino money.

[Dem Guard]

Yeah, probably a new power bra from Victoria's Secret! The press did manage to come up with a picture of her from two years ago that did make it look plausible, until someone looks at the beauty pageant picture you posted.

[investigateworld]

Actually, McCain is not 'dirty' per se. He is just looking out for his wife's 'beer fortune Heiress status'*.

I don't think, and there is no evidence of it, that he is taking Mexican drug cartel money, but EVERYTHING he does indicates they own him.

I think it's just a bit more mundane; he knows they'll starting whacking the beer truck drivers and his wife and her family will be instant paupers.

Now the other Republicans, open border/Mexico is great types?

As always follow the money.

*Which explains why he and J.F.Kerry, are such good buddies. Without the wife's money (actually Other Men's Money) they both be living in a single wide trailer(s) out in the low rent part of Bullhead, AZ.

[mkjessup]

Your logic is spot on FRiend, however McCain IS definitely dirty, and to shed some more light on this little reported topic, I am summoning one of FR's legends, your Aunt and mine, let's have a warm hand for AuntB!...

I’m surprised this Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler Ponzi scheme isn’t getting more press.

They bilked $1.2 BILLION from investors! This “Republican” law firm donated huge sums of money to Democratic candidates in the 2008 races - supposedly hedging their bets.

I have a bit of a personal tie to the story. My former employer - disgraced, indicted and convicted Congressman Larry Smith (D-Hollywood, FL) - was recently hired by the firm as a lobbyist. Larry’s son, Grant, was a member of the firm and is being investigated along with others for complicity in the scheme. I worked for Larry in the ‘80’s and believe me, this couldn’t happen to a better family.

As for this being a “Republican” law firm, many of the lawyers involved worked at or with, or are relatives of lawyers that work at Smith’s old law firm before he was elected to Congress. This firm was an influence buying machine. When Republicans took power in Florida, they donated to Republicans so they could stay in the loop. When they saw Democrats rising on the national stage in ‘08, they gave to Democrats.

Nothing like the smell of schadenfreude in the morning...

[investigateworld]

Good morning AuntB

My previously made comment reflects the thinking of a number (like actually every single active/retired LEO, both Fed and and local, that I know), so I can't claim credit.

Remember, McCain is all about McCain.

He will cheerfully watch the whole state of Arizona - and even the whole USA turn into an appendage of the Mexican Drug Carels, just so he can enjoy the good life (on other men's money')

More about McCain and his gambling/casino ties.

[snip]But he has rarely wavered in his loyalty to Las Vegas, where he counts casino executives among his close friends and most prolific fund-raisers. “Beyond just his support for gaming, Nevada supports John McCain because he’s one of us, a Westerner at heart,” said Sig Rogich, a Nevada Republican kingmaker who raised nearly $2 million for Mr. McCain at an event at his home in June.

Only six members of Congress have received more money from the gambling industry than Mr. McCain, and five hail from the casino hubs of Nevada and New Jersey.... In the presidential race, Senator Barack Obama has also received money from the industry; Mr. McCain has raised almost twice as much.

In May 2007, as Mr. McCain’s presidential bid was floundering, he spent a weekend at the MGM Grand on the Las Vegas strip. A fund-raiser hosted by J. Terrence Lanni, the casino’s top executive and a longtime friend of the senator, raised $400,000 for his campaign. Afterward, Mr. McCain attended a boxing match and hit the craps tables.

For much of his adult life, Mr. McCain has gambled as often as once a month, friends and associates said, traveling to Las Vegas for weekend betting marathons. Former senior campaign officials said they worried about Mr. McCain’s patronage of casinos, given the power he wields over the industry.

“We were always concerned about appearances,” one former official said. “If you go around saying that appearances matter, then they matter.....Do we really have to go to a casino? I don’t think it’s a good idea. The base doesn’t like it. It doesn’t look good. And good things don’t happen in casinos at midnight.”

“You worry too much,” Mr. McCain would respond, the official said.

Buried in McCain/Feingold was a special exemption for Indian tribes, who just happen to line McCain’s pockets.
Mc/Feingold was never about campaign finance reform. It was about getting what McCain thought he needed.

The McCain-Feingold Indian Giving Loophole
by Michelle Malkin (April 11, 2001)

[snip] deep-pocketed special interest group remains curiously silent amid the furor over campaign finance “reform”: Indian tribes. Why?

You might think tribal leaders would be swarming Capitol Hill, joining other business groups and trade associations that are rightly worried about the McCain-Feingold bill’s deleterious effect on their ability to participate in the political process. Under McCain-Feingold, so-called “soft money” donations (which are currently unregulated and unlimited) would be banned. That would presumably be a big blow to Indian tribes, particularly those who run casinos, whose soft-money giving has exploded in the last few years.

Final tallies are not in yet, but analysts say the top individual recipient of Indian gaming money during election 2000 was none other than anti-soft money crusader Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who sits on the Senate Committee of Indian Affairs.

John McCain has a long time, well known GAMBLING problem! His support and $ come from questionable people with questionable ties.

Mafia ties:

In 1995, McCain sent birthday regards, and regrets for not attending, to Joseph "Joe Bananas" Bonano, the head of the New York Bonano crime family, who had retired to Arizona. Another politician to send regrets was Governor Fife Symington, who has since been kicked out of office and convicted of 7 felonies relating to fraud and extortion.

http://www.realchange.org/mccain.htm

McCain's mafia ties go back further than that ... all the way back to Cindy McCain's mafia connected dad, who launched McCain's career and put him on the nipple of Charles Keating and friends. Cindy's dad took the fall for the mafia over illegal liqour distribution charges and was rewarded with a beer distributorship when he got out of the clink. Cindy's dad also helped the mob do some dirty business in the New Mexico horse racing market back in the day.

Why did McCain celebrate his birthday on a Mobster's Yacht?

http://www.thenation.com/images/mccain.j…

The photograph substantiates reports that in late August, 2006, McCain celebrated his 70th birthday aboard a yacht, the Celine Ashley, rented by A-list con man Raffaello Follieri and his then-movie star girlfriend Anne Hathaway.

Follieri, who posed as Vatican chief financial officer in order to win friends and investments, pleaded guilty Wednesday in a Manhattan district court to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, eight counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering.

Good to see some else knows about McCain Mafia ties ......

I actually met a couple of Crazy Joe Banana's ...uh boys?

[supremedoctrine]

There was a quiz, I saw it this AM , can’t remember where,
maybe my own Optimum Online page, that showed the pic at the Belmont Stakes,where she was wearing the t-shirt she travelled in, not having the chance to change, given some unforeseen travel delay, alongside an earlier pic of her in a dress, with the question: Did Sarah Palin have a breast enlargement? with the responses to check being 1. Yes
2. No, it’s just a good push-up bra and 3. Who cares.
I voted 2, because it was my duty.
I checked the results and they were virtually TIED at 1 and 3, with the highest, nearly 40% each.

[Frantzie]

Wow! McCain is a real slime. The Dems must have TONS of stuff they can blackmail him with. I love the picture of McCain at the craps table. He needs to be on his unicorn.

I recall a great documentary from I think 2995 called Mafia. I think Ray Liotta narrated. They had former FBI agent Joe Pistone (Donnie Brasco), The had a well spoken fellow, dressed well, polite etc. I though he was a retired FBI agent or judge. It was Joe Bonnano’s son Bill! He seemed like a decent guy.

They had a guy from Jersey or Philly with a cap and his face darkened and he was a Vietnam Vet. Sounded like a decent guy - another mobster.

McCain is worse. He pretends to be clean but he is a creep.

[DoughtyOne]

For what it’s worth, I think she’s more attractive now.

She’s a nice looking woman.

[mkjessup]

I concur and agree. Like fine wine.
