WASHINGTON - Cindy McCain, whose husband has been a critic of the violence in Sudan, sold off more than $2 million in mutual funds whose holdings include companies that do business in the African nation.

The sale on Wednesday came after The Associated Press questioned the investments in light of calls by John McCain, the likely Republican presidential nominee, for international financial sanctions against the Sudanese leadership.

McCain, who was campaigning in Ohio, said neither he nor his wife were aware of the Sudan-related holdings.

1. Yawn....kinda the same effect as * giving up Golf

2. Just in time to make it an issue just like John McCain's lobbying

for the criminal regime in Myanmar. :dem:

[gristy]

3. Amazing to me that she didn't do this a long time ago

You have to wait for the AP to call you on this before you do the right thing? Sheesh.

4. His PR people

are on top of things though. He won't be an easy target in November...he surrounds himself with good people...

[Lint Head]

5. He's on top of the Re-Pubic-Rat Dung Heap!

He has supported the lying fascist criminals in the White House from the get-go. His is flip flopping more than a fresh caught mackerel and smells like one to boot. :dem:

6. By good I mean

Smart people...

7. Cindy McCain is going to be a lot of baggage for McLame

won't disclose income taxes, using her charity to gain access to drugs, corp jet for mclame's campaign, caused mclame to dump his 1st wife while she was recovering from an car accident

[Mithreal]

9. At least she didn't vehicular manslaughter her ex-boyfriend like

the current First Lady.

I bet the Busch heiress has a dalmatian coat in her closet too.

[DesertRat]

8. No wonder she doesn't want to reveal her tax returns!

[Mithreal]

10. She doesn't want hubby to see what she does while he is away.

Plus, John can't really be trusted with her money, he has admitted he knows nothing about economics, my bet is he doesn't know how to handle money either.

[TommyO]

11. I guess she needed more money for John's, um, er, her plane.

You know that if hubby weren't running for the presidency, she would have gladly held onto those mutual funds, after all what are a few lives lost when there's money at stake?

16. Da plane boss. Da plane...

[Gamey]

12. Scatter the cockroaches!

Makes them harder to smash.

13. Bill-O, WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU ON THIS?!

He's been (rightly, regardless of what Olbermann says) all over GE for doing business with Iran. I bet he doesn't touch this.

[rpannier]

15. He'll get reich on it...I mean right on it

He'll explain that these holdings were really purchased by a broker with sympathies to Obama who knew years ago that Obama wasgoing to be the nominee.
That this is just another attempt to bring down the white-male power structure.

14. What's that sound you hear coming from the MSM????

*chirp* *chirp* *chirp*

Now, if it had been paris hilton selling sudan investments that would be headline news.

Why?

Because john mcbush is only running for president, while paris hilton is...ummmmmm....uhhhhhh...an heiress? an actress who can't act??? ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... You got me.
