“right-wingers who abandon their families, marry drug addicts”

I wonder which Presidential candidate Ted is writing about, hmmm? For all the whining about the ‘liberal media bias’ it sure seems like Cindy McCain’s drug arrest has been ignored by the mass media.

Cindy McCain, the wife of Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.), admitted stealing Percocet and Vicodin from the American Voluntary Medical Team, an organization that aids Third World countries. Percocet and Vicodin are schedule 2 drugs, in the same legal category as opium. Each pill theft carries a penalty of one year in prison and a monetary fine. McCain stole the pills over several years. She became addicted to the drugs after undergoing back surgery. But rather than face prosecution, McCain was allowed to enter a pretrial diversion program and escaped with no blemish on her record. *

Liberals are wise enough to understand that what’s going on in a man’s pants stays in a man’s pants. Right wing’s big problem is searching fleas all over the place, a real witchunt mentality! They don’t seem to give a bleeep about a politician’s work. All they want to know is what he does with his thingy. They would rather elect an incompetent faithful man (what is faith?)than a competent “sinner”. It should be the other way around.

W kept it in his pants and look at the picture of success he’s been.

To label Bush, or McCain, or Gingrich, or _ _ _ (fill in the blank) as lying sacks of s**t would be to slander idle bags of fertilizer.

CF: and they don’t say a word about a “pious” man who claims that God order him to make war and kill thousands of innocents…

As usual, Ted’s sarcasm and irony will pass undetected by our nutbags in the post…

The job is PRESIDENT, not HUSBAND (or wife) OF THE YEAR, so choose the best president, it’s not always the best husband (I mean, just look at Kennedy)

O wad some Pow’r the giftie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us! It wad frae monie a blunder free us, An foolish notion….

Thanks, Ted Rall, for once again puncturing that shield of hypocrisy with which we so often surround ourselves, when it serves our interests !…

Ted’s done 3 cartoons since this one. Why haven’t they been posted? This is the second time (at least) that this has happened.

Whatever happened to McCain’s squeeze Vicki Iseman???
