Cindy McCain may love America more than the rest of us, but she has her faults (Just like Us!) Just like Cindy McCain, I'd love to get away with stealing prescription drugs from a non-profit (though I would never EVER do so, lawyer speak, blah blah blah). It would be much cheaper than actually using my crappy insurance to pay for them.
With that said, it appears that Cindy MAY be on the pill popping warpath again! That's the way I'm reading this story:
Cindy McCain went to a Michigan hospital this afternoon after an exuberant supporter shook her hand hard enough to [supposedly] cause a minor sprain.
McCain left the fundraiser and visited a nearby hospital where she was x-rayed and given pain relief[!!!!!!!} for what Shuffield called "a minor sprain."
She is to return to the campaign trail tomorrow.
emphasis added
I've personally never popped a "Vic" or a "Percaset" or even a "Goodies Powder" just for giggles, but I hear it's a highly functional drug! I also hear that users often fake injuries to score these things. Is that what happened here? I can't speculate. I WON'T SPECULATE!!!
While it's certainly plausible that Cindy has an "existing carpal tunnel condition" (she spends most of her hours typing up all of John McCain's emails), I'm a bit skeptical about an injury from hand shaking. My uncle Larry has a strong grip when he shakes my hand, but it's usually the weird way he looks me in the eye while he does it that makes me want to turn to some sort of medication.
So the McCains love pills. Isn't that a good thing? Couldn't this mean that there will be a Prescription Drug Bill of Rights in the McCain presidency?
Article One: Freedom of pills!
Article Two: Citizens have the right to bare pills in a well-regulated militia (militia later interpreted by the Supreme Court to mean "Private Jet")
Article Three: Waterboarded terrorists have the right to pills! (as soon as they meet with their lawyer...ie, never.)
Oh well, I probably shouldn't pick on Cindy. Drug addiction is a serious thing with serious penalties (unless you're rich!). Rest easy, Cindy, your secret is safe with me. I'll just delete thi...
UPDATE: (whoops I pushed publish!) Too late.
