Cindy McCain Has Another Forgotten Half-Sister

Washington Post:

When Cindy McCain talks about growing up, she usually refers to herself as an "only child" -- a phrase that ignores the existence of her half sisters.

"It's terribly painful," Kathleen Hensley Portalski said yesterday. "It is as if she is the 'real' daughter. I am also a real daughter."

Portalski and McCain are both children of the late Jim Hensley, the Arizona businessman who founded one of the largest beer distributorships in the nation. Kathleen, 65, is the product of Hensley's first marriage in the 1930s to Mary Jeanne Parks. Hensley divorced Parks for Marguerite "Smitty" Johnson, whom he met at a West Virginia hospital in World War II and married in 1945. Cindy was born nine years later.

...

But there's more: Cindy McCain has another half sister. Before her marriage to Hensley, Johnson had a daughter, Dixie Burd, by a previous relationship. Burd, who is much older than Cindy, could not be reached for comment.

Why is the MSM afraid of McCain. Is it because they all have something in common ... a thorough understanding and meaning of the word. "rich."

[JeanPaulSatire]

Gosh, I didn't realize that 'Stepford' wives HAVE relatives.

[kellygrrrl]

sometimes they share parts in the assembly room

[breakingnews]

Yers, they are called Roomba's, LOL!

[helonias]

Just think that she could put a mil or two in a trust fund for her sibs and that would take care of them for life.

And she could look almost like a real caring christian.

And it makes me even sadder to think her husband who is wroth $35 mi and still cahes his SS, NAvy pension and disability checks.

Imagine if he declined those payments.

He could look almost like a real caring christian.

What are these peoples thought processes, I do not understand

[VOTER]

The McCain Thought Processes: "It is all about ME!"

Charity can and should be done but only when it benefits ME.

Christian Values can be discussed but only when it benefits ME.

Veteran issues are a concern but only when it benefits ME.

Their "ME" lists are endless.

VOTE FOR OBAMA!

[philinmedford]

The point I'm trying to make is that O has stated, quite forcefully that the spouses were "off limits".

This is flying directly in the face of that request.

Now someone can say "well here is the link to a recent article......''

Why open this can of worms? It doesn't speak to the issues which is what I for one want to hear about.

[BabsfromKansas]

This is not an attack from the campaign - this is just a statement of facts. It speaks to character and those good old family values.

[philinmedford]

Yeah, well I don't see much of a difference between being "officially from the campaign" and third party.

Oh well, I guess I should just get used to it. Politics as usual

[000Jade000]

Mhmmm. And speaks to the fact that both Johnny and wife have a tendency to distort their biographies.

[VOTER]

You missed the fact that this all became news after NPR did an interview with Cindy where

she, AGAIN, failed to say she has two half sisters.

Check NPR.

[eq]

lolll...and therein lies the definition of "the modern Republican" - the world revolves around them, they deserve instant gratification, and if their desires harm others or the world, the hell with them.

[helonias]

The only child that was going to get daddy's money.

You see

[ibsteve2u]

What I can see is the remnant of the "daddy's little princess" 'tude in the pic..

[CrittersRTasty]

Yeah, what kind of lunatic would refer to herself as having grown up as an "only child" when they, in fact, have half siblings that they werent raised with and had little contact with....crazy!

[VOTER]

John and Cindy McCain have "forgotten" their own family members.

John McCain has "forgotten" our veterans and the hardworking people of Ohio.

Who is next?

MCCAIN IS BUSH'S THIRD TERM!

Vote for Obama!

[thereigoagain]

Obama has forgotten his half brother living in a hut in Kenya. That doesn't bother you, so why does the McCain story. oh yes, you're a lefty, that's why.

[VOTER]

Sorry but you have failed to get even 1 point from the McCain Campaign for today's

postings.

: - (

[notthistime]

As someone posted several times - as soon as Obama receives the millions of dollars from his Daddy's inheritance, I am sure he will share it with his father's children.

[TroubleNYC]

Her dad got around, huh?. Now I understand why Cindy is attracted to shady men.

[gigi09]

She married someone that reminded her of her dear ole' dad! Daddy was smittened and left his first family for Cindy's mother. It's a shame that he forgot about his other children...guess that's what rich people do.

[notthistime]

I got the same thing from this. Hence the tolerance of him calling her C**t, telling her to participate in a topless contest, and telling her to tell the public she broke/hurt her arm "shaking hands" with a voter.

[DocJerome]

Aah, . . . the ties that bind. (Forgotten wife and kids and forgotten siblings)

[IkeChicago]

I can't finger the old guy, at least he took care of his family, I can't say the same for Cindy McCain. John McCain must be some compassionate man, did he ever ask Cindy why she stiffed her sister out of all that money, private jet, $100m and still not enough to take care of her two sisters, not even a Christmas card. Just the compassionate lady America needs for a first lady. Hmmmmmmm

[scorpioleidy]

No he didn't --- part of the "deal" to divorce his disabled wife was that Cindy would take care of his ex (and all her medical care) plus take care of their children.

[notthistime]

he ABANDONED his family after she waited for him to come home from the war. Because she had an accident and she wasn't as pretty as she was before. So he left her and the kids and married rich Cindy before his divorce was finalized.

[Roguewolf]

Wow, I am glad you are all the family experts, Everyone should have a close relationship with all their family even if they are half sisters who they didn't even grow up with. Lets start pulling some of your family skeletons out of the closet. I am sure all of you have perfect family relationships. I bet none of you moonbats have never been divorced, never had a family member go to jail. I bet you never had an outcast family member, never one that had a drug or alcohol problem. No history of abuse in any of your families. What a bunch of hypocrites

[Eoin45]

We don't pretend to be the party of personal repsonsibility, family and moral values either. What a bunch of hypoctrites? Backatcha.

[notthistime]

That is besides the point. If a man spreads his seed and creates children, he should be responsible enough to take care of them. He had MILLIONS. He could have at least gave them 1M each and the rest to Cindy. But after the wil was revised multiple times, the family members didn't get 1 stinking dime. Cindy should have at least gave them some money. As a woman she should have at least been that sensitive to give them some of the money. He was their father too.

[littlepuffycloud]

hilarious...Cindy snubs blood relatives, but we're to believe she'd give a rat's ass about Americans?

[notthistime]

snubs relatives and screws a man with a disabled wife and children.
Steals recipes and claims it is a family favorite and blames it on an intern when everyone saw that it was stolen from the internet.

[AlwaysFairDem]

It tells me that if you can't stand with your blood you can't stand for anyone! Cindy is trash if you ask me!

[wagadog]

You know every family has someone like this -- the one who monopolize the family resources all for themselves, makes their life's work about kissing up to the people with the money (usually older men) and pissing all over everyone else, dependants (usually women with children), behind their backs, to their faces, whatever.

Daddy's little girl!

Their whole lives are about take take take take take, me me me me me.

They literally do not know how to do anything else.

[rwe]

at least she isn't living in a hut in kenya like Baracks brother .... truly forgotten

[BabsfromKansas]

Read "Dreams of My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope"

[MaeScott]

At least he acknowledges them. Cindy doesn't. BIG difference.

[oscartucker]

You are shameful and you know it.

[Eoin45]

rwe E S & D.

[ccmd]

So you suggest that since he is running for president, his family should all get mansions huh? He should fly them all over and share the campaign wealth aye??? Ever occured to you that they dont want to be here? Pappara zzi and ignorant a wholes like you are keeping them away.....

[notthistime]

Maybe we should tell Barack to share some of the millions that his daddy left him . . . . uhh wait . . . his Daddy didn't leave him any millions or mansions huh?

Try again. As an fyi - nothing wrong with living in a hut. It is home to many people in Kenya.

[VOTER]

While the MSM is afraid to tell us the truth about the McCains or has been bought off to not tell
their true history, there is a great place to go and vent.

This site is a hoot.

Truthfulness and full exposure about both, John and Cindy.
