Cindy McPain from meegbear's Rude Pundit thread

[malaise]

"(M)y pain was more than just physical. The Keating Five savings and loan scandal had just blown up, and my husband was implicated. (I became a focus of the investigation when I couldn't find receipts showing that John and I had reimbursed the Keatings for a vacation we took to the Bahamas.) The first time I ever heard of the Keating Five, I was in the hospital, recovering from my first back surgery. A resident came in, threw a newspaper down on my bed and said, 'Gee, I guess your husband's not so perfect after all.' Throughout the investigation, the painkillers cushioned me. The newspaper articles didn't hurt as much, and I didn't hurt as much. I can remember sitting in the Senate hearings, listening to Howell Heflin saying terrible things not just about my husband but about me. The pills made me feel euphoric and free." This is from Newsweek, April 9 2001, so it's not new info, but context is really where all meaning exists, and 2008 is a way different backdrop than 2001.

1. This is not a woman

that keeps her own "receipts"

I am sure they have a busload of accountants that take care of money management. Does she think we do not know how the other half live?

3. "A resident came in..."

Resident as in physician? Do you believe this? I don't.

4. Oh, please

Can you imagine anything like that happening? Of course not.

She's full of it, a flat-out liar.
