Cindy McCain: "In Arizona The Only Way To Get Around The State Is By Small Private Plane" (VIDEO)

Cindy McCain recently gave a rare private interview to CNN in which she disclosed her opinions on transportation in Arizona, her home state. The McCains have tried to distance themselves from elitism, but apparently Mrs. McCain believes that the only way to get around is by "small private plane."

Taxi!

[Hillrick]

While sipping lattes?

[blueinannarbor]

Of course, their small private plane has a pilot and a barista.

oh that's so elitist. Oh sorry that only comes from black democrats from the south side of chicago, with a father that worked as a shift worker for the city or was raised by a single mom that was on food stamps. Oh and they just paid off their college loans not to long ago. now that is elitism.

[jozap]

I live in Az. Cindy is right, unless you want to take all day to get someplace. From Phoenix to Tucson it takes 1 1/2 hours, if traffic is light. The 'highway" is two lane for most of the drive. Same for Flagstaff, except it takes 2 1/2 hours.

Obama 08

Even weirder is that she did ground school, logged her hours, got her license, and didn't even tell John about it. Whoa. What a tight, sharing couple. I think I'd like to be in the loop if my wife learned to fly, as I would assume she'd be if I did the same.

[Destin]

How bout that Cindy Botox McNeedles. She's living the high life. Wait, that's Peter Coors i think. She's living the fly life. There, all corrected.

[Birdman]

Oh Plueeeeeeeeze, did she ever hear of a car, train, or bus? Now this shoudl be aclue to most of us that the McCains cannot and will not relate to the rest of us peasents, it boggles my mind how often the voters in this country will vote agasint their own best interests.

Democrats on Republicans: "A bunch of elitist robber-barons"
Republicans on Democrats: "A bunch of elitist know-it-alls"

[Jahmekyah]

All of you haters just quit all your WHINING. Cindy McCain's jet fuel costs are going up and you don't hear HER complaining. Sheesh.

[Shelly1970]

Wow, Cindy. I really feel your pain. You must REALLY feel it at the pump if you're stuck flying around Arizona in that thing.

[Jahmekyah]

So the black guy from Chicago comin from a poor family is the Elitist, but the sheltered white guy from the respected military family who married into a beer fortune and has his own private jet is the down to eearth everyday guy?. When did it become opposite day? Or opposite year for that matter

[4wehttam]

Come on Jahmekyah! Have you no sympathy at all, do you realize how difficult it is being Cindy McBush, having to be served breakfast, your make-up and hair done for you everyday, having to never open doors and having to never experience getting her own gas or convenience store coffee? Don't you realize how difficult her life has been.

In the famous words of Chris Crocker: LEAVE CINDY MCBUSH ALONE! AFTER ALL SHE'S BEEN THROUGH!!!!!!!

[impatient]

Why the hours alone it must take to apply the makeup with a trowel like some trollop, the miserable c*%t.

[Jahmekyah]

I'm Sorry man. I didn't know (seriously, I have no idea what its like to be a multimillionaire who never had to work for it). On a serious note: I'm in no way hatin on Cindy for being rich (after all aren't we all aspiring for that), its the wholly unadulterated garbage that some how THESE GUYS are the everyday Americans and Obama is the elitist. The fact that that rhetoric has come so far and traveled so many news cycles is testament to either a) The stupidity, or share hate inspired ignorance of large portions of the public b) The journalistic and intellectual nakedness of the MSM or c) Both.

Be careful when you point fingers. The limousine liberals are legendary for their use of private planes, trust funds, etc. I stood next to John Kerry and Theresa Heinz one night at a fund raiser while they debated whether the weather in Boston would allow them to take off in their private air craft. It's one of the dirty little secrets of the democratic party. Ugly, but there it is.

[Dave01]

Problem with your argument. Kerry NEVER said that a "private plane" was the ONLY way to get around in his home state.

[AvgPseudoIntellectual]

Not relevant to Obama, dude.

[impatient]

You'll note though, that the elitest tag has been applied to Barack Obama who does NOT have millions and does not have this type of entitlement (and I mean that in every sense of the word). So to try to throw this back at the democrats or liberals is basically a red herring. The McCains are the elitests in THIS election.

[justobserve]

Obama is NOT Kerry!

[mossy1]

Oh, good grief. The thing that offended me about the interview (except for the private plane deal) was the lady asked about the dating while McCain was still married thing, and Cindy just said "Oh, that was 28 years ago, and I just don't want to discuss it" and WAS LET OFF THE HOOK!
Okay, so if it was Obama and the subject was adultery, would he (or Michelle) be allowed to slide? I think not!

[filo]

Since it's an election year.


Yeah....Obama is the elitist all right. (sarcasam)

[Passenger57]

It's been "Opposite" for most of the decade,starting with Bush's selection in 2001...more people wanted Gore to be POTUS, but look what happened...we were hit in 2001 by mostly Saudis,but we invaded Iraq.In 2004,Kerry was the decorated war hero,but he was made out as a phony-running against a REAL phony.Iran is supposed to be the big threat in the Middle East-meanwhile, Israel's been hammering the Palestinians, they attacked Lebanon,and they blew something up in Syria.
There's too many "opposite" things that went on to list. Hopefully President Obama can try to straighten some of it out!

[ndnndpendent]

And he made the summer gas tax break sound so yummy.......

[Jahmekyah]

Is Arizona just one big runway??? Or is it on stilts I don't get it??

[NoahVail]

I guarantee its not the ONLY way to get around. Many people travel by Grayhound.

[filo]

Those poor dogs....that's shameful !

[Wilburrr]

especially in the summer!!

[jackt51]

And then, when we get into the White House, we'll be able to fly around in that big old Air Force One, and maybe the pilot will let me take a turn!!! Cuz I'm just so rich and bitchin and all that!

[impatient]

And wasn't that cool that I did the flying lessons and got my license all on my own? And I never even told my husband? Mainly because he never comes home and when he does, i am kind of afraid of his bad temper....but still, wasn't that really cool and independent and SPIRITED of me?
