The McCain's made up that story about getting their adopted daughter from Mother Theresa?

Is this as bad as the Clinton Bosnia gaffe?

    Worse. They do tend to make up alot of stuff.

    Nope.

    The "unnamed source" doesn't seem to know the full story:

    " but said McCain did meet her (Mother Theresa) later on, although the source could not say when or where."

    Cindy McCain overstating her connection with Mother Theresa is't as bad as downright lying from an actual CANDIDATE about gunfire that never happened.

    I don't think so. It is easy to spin it as, "she was inspired by Mother Teresa" since the orphanage had been established by Mother Teresa. It looks like the media over the years has slowly changed the language from "inspired" to "implored", leaving one with the notion that Cindy McCain and Mother Teresa hung out and discussed the adoption.

    It doesn't sound nearly as bad as the other historical examples cited in the article.

    We all know that Cindy hates everyone except herself & loves money. I couldn't make a penny selling alcohol, thinking about how much this substance hurts children.
