The book “Game Change” put Harry Reid’s racial slip of the tongue on perpetual media spin but trouble in John and Cindy McCain's paradise has not gained equal traction. Although a safe bet that the main money tap of wife Cindy's Anheuser-Busch distributorship fortune is flowing freely, things in their multiple master bedrooms may be as dry as an Arizona desert. Landing like a fly on one of their bedroom walls for confirmation is unlikely, however, the odd couple’s philosophical split on gay marriage didn’t exactly expel WTF until now.
So, WTF were the NOH8 Campaign organizers thinking when Cindy McCain joined a host of celebrities who’ve posed for a pro gay marriage advertisement? Daughter Meghan who also stuck a pose said via Twitter, "I think more Republicans need to start taking a stand for civil rights in this country and set the example that this is not a partisan issue" according to http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/01/21/cindy-mccain-poses-for-ad-supporting-gay-marriage/.
Now that John has denied his wife First Lady status, a like Mother, like daughter reversal has emerged. Rebounding from her father’s defeat as if it were a mild hangover one minute, the youthful McCain woman was handed a huge shot at media stardom the next. Very little can dispel the campaign trail’s impression that Mama Cindy craves the limelight a tad more than money so riding piggyback is only self-fulfilling.
As they say, every picture tells a story and this one smeared in a thick Republican ploy to appear open-armed isn’t pretty. To demonstrate the GOP’s tendency to exclude rather than include, the same sex marriage issue drove conservatives to distance themselves from their own Log Cabin Republicans, a political arm whose members happen to be gay. If this is demonstrative of Michael Steele-branded unity, give me the Democrats’ disunity any day. Like Reid, the Republican Party Chairman has also been accused of vacillating similarly, saying one thing publicly and something else privately.
