No "Straight Talk"? Not Very (Potential) First Lady-Like.



From the AP:
 
     Cindy McCain says she will never make her tax returns public even if her husband wins the White House and she becomes the first lady.

     "You know, my husband and I have been married 28 years and we have filed separate tax returns for 28 years. This is a privacy issue. My husband is the candidate," Cindy McCain, wife of Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting John McCain, said in an interview aired on NBC's "Today" on Thursday.

     Asked if she would release her tax returns if she was first lady, Cindy McCain said: "No."

     The Arizona senator released his tax return last month, reporting he had a total income of $405,409 in 2007 and paid $84,460 in federal income taxes. He files his return separately from his wife, an heiress to a Phoenix-based beer distributing company whose fortune is in the $100 million range.

     Here's some "straight talk" for ya, Cindy, honey:

     We promise we won't laugh at the (bad) plastic surgery itemization(s). 

     But we want to know how much of your dough the old man is stashing away. He's a U.S. Senator, he's running for president, and he works for us. 

     My head throbs as I think that you might, someday, too.  

     So, show us the money.
