RAW STORY HAS IT! WHAT MCSAME COVERED UP

Whistleblower breaks 15-year silence to allege McCain hid wife's drug abuseNick Juliano
Published: Thursday September 11, 2008
Cindy McCain's addiction to prescription painkillers emerged into public view 14 years ago with a well-orchestrated PR campaign designed to preserve her husband's political future.
Aside from a lengthy contemporary investigation from Phoenix's alternative weekly and occasional mentions since then, the addiction back-story -- including ample questions about what John McCain knew, when he knew it and questions over whether he was complicit in the cover-up -- has gone largely untold. Until now.
Tom Gosinski, a former employee of the medical-aid charity Cindy McCain used as personal supplier of Percocet and Vicodin, is speaking out publicly for the first time.
On Wednesday, Gosinski sat down with RAW STORY and other outlets to tell his story and distribute copies of his personal journal from his time with the American Voluntary Medical Team in the last half of 1992, where he voiced ever more acute concerns and frustrations over McCain's drug use and its impact on her mood and job performance.

5. Okay, now you can go away for a month.
You wasted our time hyping a bullshit nothing of a decade-old story based on the word of a disgruntled former employee who was involved in litigation with the McCains.
EPIC FAIL.

Honestly, this little drama should end with a little forced time out.
