Married to the Mob?


"Cindy's father, who barely finished high school, went off and distinguished himself in World War II in a B-17 and came back with practically nothing and realized the American dream, and I am proud and grateful for that, and I think he is a role model to many young Americans who serve in the military and come back and succeed."

Now that John McCain has made his second father-in-law a legitimate subject of debate, is Jim Hensley really a role model for our youth? Wasn't he a convicted felon? Wasn't his beer fortune -- which launched McCain's political career -- a result of his mob ties? Is the media paying attention to this part of McCain's story?

"Songbird" John McCain has a lot of secrets the media won't discuss. His cheating on and then dumping his crippled first wife, for one.

Good point. I hear Ted Kennedy is speaking tonight. Maybe he should bring it up. He is probably an expert on fathers who get rich through mob ties and alcohol.
