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."

My condolences, in advance, to the poor people of Georgia.

Haven't they suffered enough already? Do they really need a visit from old man McClone's "pillionaire" wife?

[PKSSK]

I thought there was a war going on in Georgia???? Why is McCain sending his wife into a supposedly war torn dangerous area, hmmmmmm???? I gues his campaign manager, who lobby's on behalf of Georgia, must have suggested the trip.

Why is she going exactly? Is there some sort of Botox shortage in Georgia?

WHY IS MCCAIN SENDING HIS WIFE TO GEORGIA WHAT CAN SHE DO? I BELEIVE HE TRYING TO GET MEDIA COVERAGE FOR NOTHING. THE PEOPLE NOW SEE THAT HE IS ALL ABOUT THE WAR TO GET HIS WIFE LIFE IN DANGER. PEOPLE NEED TO ASK THE QUESTION WHAT IS GOING ON HIS THIS MAN MIND. IF THIS DON'T TELL YOU HE GOT BAD JUDGEMENT ON PROLEMS BY SENDING HIS WIFE OVER SEA WHAT DO THAT TELL YOU?

Think she'll buy a house there, so Mac and her can become Georgians>

[jeffp26]

She's looking for a small mansion in the suburbs of Atlanta! ;-)

If Cindy McCain is so concerned about civilian casualties why wasn't she in New Orleans to assess the civilian casualties caused by during Katrina?

Has she been to Iraq to access the human tragedy caused by the Bush/Cheney/republican (including PNACer John McCain) invasion and destruction there?

How many homeless shelters has she visited in this country?

How many homeless veterans has she visited in this country?

How many over crowded emergency rooms in inner-city hospitals, where poor people with no health insurance go for treatment, has she visited?

Maybe she should be explaining the relationship between John McCain, Mikheil Saakashvili and Randy Scheunemann, McCain’s foreign advisor, who was a paid lobbyist for Georgia, which by the way invaded South Ossetia before the Russians invaded Georgia. What ever crisis exists in Georgia was caused by Georgia.

Are there no limits to this hypocrisy?

[Kynn]

Silly person, none of that other stuff will help John McCain's wet dream of another cold war.

[jrterrier]

are you sending your questions to michelle obama also? from the story, in case you didn't bother to read it:

"She has slipped away from the campaign trail frequently this year: in March, McCain visited Kosovo with HALO to assess progress in clearing minefields there. In June, she was in Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia, working with Operation Smile, the charity that helps disfigured children and on whose board she also serves. In July, she was in Rwanda, reviewing relief efforts by the World Food Programme. She plans to return to the U.S. from Georgia late Wednesday. "It's a very quick trip," she says."

I didn't know they had cheap vicodin in Georgia.

[DieHardObamaSupporter]

Alright pimp daddy, how long did it take you to come up with this one? Oh after O announced JB to be his VP pick.

[SaltySaltillo]

Should someone tell her she cannot get a mint julep there?

[KimIslesboro]

Maybe Hillary can give her some tips on ducking sniper fire in a war zone. First McCain send Tweedle Dumb (a/k/a Joe Lieberman) and Tweedle Dumber (a/k/a Lindsey Graham) now he's send Ms Bud (a/k/a Cindy Creepy Eyes) -- what a waste! Of course maybe John is hoping he fares better in her will than her half sisters did in her father's will...

[DixieMelody]

So you think John is on the road to outliving 15-years-younger Cindy?

[KimIslesboro]

That's one way around that pesky prenup...

[TovSquirrel]

I would recommend Savannah, not Tbilisi.

[Johnmac371]

Cindy McCain = Beer Baroness, Pill Stealer and Abuser, Cosmetic Surgery Queen.

Awesome to have at a party, I'll take a pass on her as my First Lady

[cosmicmom]

And some were afraid of Bill Clinton and his spousal diplomacy and influence??????? He was the f**king prez, and a great one at that!!!!!!!!! Cindy M. is certainly an intelligent woman, etc., but as an emissary to Georgia?????? You have GOT to be kidding!!!!!!

[Moxo]

I wonder how many Georgians she will say she was asked to adopt?

[TovSquirrel]

About 4 million
