Cindy McCain lashes out at Obama again

Yesterday, she called his campaign the dirtiest in American history. Today, here is what she said:

“The day that Sen. Obama cast a vote to not to fund my son when he was serving sent a cold chill through my body let me tell you. I would suggest Sen. Obama change shoes with me for just one day. I suggest he take a day and go watch our men and women deploying.”

I would ask Mrs. McCain if she felt that same chill when her husband voted against funding.

I would love to see Obama don a pair of $5,000 high heels, just for sh*ts and giggles!

Since when to the drug-addicted wives of candidates have a say in campaigns?

When they're paying for them, I guess.

Still. If Michelle Obama were to speak out against McCain in terms like this, there'd be Republican shrieking like nothing we've ever heard.

Michelle Obama appears on Larry King and The Daily Show tonight. It will be interesting to see if King or Stewart ask her about this.

Jesus. She's really acting like one of those fiercely loyal yap dogs who barks a lot when she thinks her owner is in danger.

Now calm down, people! Cindy McCain is quickly becoming one of the biggest assets to the Obama campaign. Maybe in her next rant, she'll refer to him as a barracuda or a maverick.

But besty, she's his owner.

I've got my fingers crossed for "uppity," but then, I've always liked to dream big.

"... sent a cold chill through my body let me tell you...."

A chill cold enough to chill that icy body? Crap, that's COLD!

"I would ask Mrs. McCain if she felt that same chill when her husband voted against funding."

Or when he voted against health insurance for the poor children she professes to love so much.

She's probably secretly hoping he loses...she doesn't seem to like the spotlight very much and would rather devote the time to her philanthropic efforts and life in Arizona. The only upside from a win? That he doesn't take his frustration out on her and make life at home a living hell.

PJ, would that be the very first instance of a temperature that measures a negative number on the Kelvin scale?

I've been thinking about how the spouses on the Republican side are "off-limits" and not relevant to their running spouses, like Cindy and First "I'm a successionist" Dude Todd.

Imagine if the mythical Michelle Obama "whitey" video surfaced? Would that not matter to Republicans.

The hypocrisy, lies, grasping at straws, etc really has me at my wit's end.

Michelle and Jill have so much more class than this! And- they are so much smarter! Todd Palin- puhleeze!
