Cindy McCain Going To Georgia

Time:

It's not every aspiring First Lady whose comfort zone is a war zone, but such is the case for Cindy McCain, who left Monday on a mission to Georgia to assess the civilian casualties caused by the Russian invasion.

McCain is traveling with the U.N.'s World Food Program, whose work she monitored in Southeast Asia and Africa this spring and summer. McCain planned to meet with Georgian President Mikheil Sakaasvili, and to visit with wounded Georgian soldiers. She would also visit representatives of the HALO Trust, which works to remove landmines and on whose board she serves.

Cindy and John McCain visited Georgia together last year; in an interview with TIME at her Sedona ranch before she left, she emphasized that her years of work on overseas missions was "an important part of what I'm about, what makes me tick."

One minute, Senator McCain is offering his wife up as a contestant in a "nasty" biker contest and now we're supposed to see her as our ambassador to Georgia? Give me a break.

"Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has accused the United States of orchestrating the conflict in Georgia to benefit one of its presidential election candidates­."

Very Interesting indeed!

Cindy, Cindy, Cindy...my haven't we been a busy little girl;-)

Cindy McCain has done nothing to impress me as a political thinker or social democrat (and she's mistaken about the cause of that war), but give the woman her due -- attracting attention to the basic needs of refugees and the homeless is never a bad thing.

John McCain should follow Cindy to Georgia...­and they both should stay there.

Doesn't that look like a photo of Paris Hilton circa 2030?

I'm not one to rip on people because of their looks...bu­t uh...is it just me, or is her forehead enormous?

Beware of sniper fire flying in.

Is she going to address the Repuke convention and tell of how she rose from riches to riches?

The RNC needs to change the subject from Cindy's houses. Now if Michelle Obama were to have gone to Georgia on a humanitarian mission, the MSM would be shouting "How presumptuous of her." But it's Cindy going. Cindy, who married a man who was a POW in Vietnam 35 years ago. So it's OK.

The RNC needs acceptable footage for the convention. What else were they going to show? Cindy flying in her private jet (the only way to get from one part of Arizona to the other, according to her)? A designer tour of the 7 or more residences she owns? Merchandise and beauty services amounting to $750,000 made on her monthly credit card account?

It's all OK that she's making like Condi Rice because her husband was a POW 35 years ago. Did I mention that John McCain was a prisoner of war in Vietnam?

Drugs.

Addicts like her want one thing if they go to a war zone - free drugs.

Pathetic.

I'm sorry, but she is an absolutely scary looking person. If there was a demon wearing a Human disguise, it'd be her.

She's really a cadaver that has never recovered from her numerous plastic surgeries. I'm sorry, but sending a former rodeo queen to check out a sovereign country reminds me of the pointy-haired boss in Dilbert, and his relationship with the Elbonians. It's the stuff comic strips are made of.

Alright, we get it, you're not George Bush. Now tell your wife you're not sending her to a war zone for a photo op.

[mnash]

Geez!!!! She making policy for this country now!!!!!!

[lgreene]

She heard how close Georgia was to those Afghan poppie fields, I guess....
