McCain’s Tax Payment Failure is Buried Under a Pile of Maverick

Is this someone’s idea of fair and balanced? On the same Newsweek page as a story about how one of heiress Cindy McCain’s seven properties — the one in ritzy La Jolla, Calif. — was in tax arrears is a photo gallery of, “A Maverick’s Path: A look at John McCain’s long and varied service to his country.”

Puh-lease! Can the MSM not say the words “John McCain” without simultaneously throwing in, “maverick?” Can we come up with a new inaccurate cliche to apply to this guy? And what’s it got to do with Cindy’s taxes?

I also guarantee-damn-tee you that a story about how Michelle Obama neglected to pay taxes would not be listed under the heading, “Real Estate.” I’m thinking you’d find it under “Politics,” “National News,” and “Oh Boy, We’ve Got Him Now!”

    Please. If her property taxes are delinquent, she could lose the property.

    As for why that is not a negative on McStain, it’s called filing separate tax returns.

    Mr & Mrs. The Precious file jointly and, therefore have equal responsibility.

    Trish, you can do better that this. It makes you sound desparate.

    Four months out from an election means that we are four months out from an election.

    Polls, headlines, etc. are meaningless until maybe 10 days before.

    One thing I’ve learned in my 67 years is that elections usaully are not the sure thing some candidates think it will be. See: Thomas Dewey, 1948.

    As the “Maverick: thing is wearing a bit thin, I came up with a new catchphrase for the McCain campaign.

    McCain, he’s so lifelike!
