They can for Cindi McCain it seems.<BR/><BR/>The N & O repeats an AP story. <BR/>It is actually a big non-story to drumbeat-echo, Cindi is a millionaire, doesn’t pay taxes, beer heiress, blah, blah, blah.<BR/>---------<BR/>Headline: Cindy McCain settles debt<BR/> with San Diego tax man<BR/><BR/>Article: Cindy McCain's debts with the county tax collector appear to be settled.<BR/>www.newsobserver.com/1573/story/1126095.html<BR/> (So what is the need for this article, except to take shots.)<BR/>-----------<BR/>I have a few questions, how would Newsweek magazine even know about this tax debt?

Dealing with today's "journalists" is much like dealing with the caterpillar that told Alice a word means what he wants it to mean--nothing more, nothing less. These folks are dealing off a different deck and you simply can't get them to discuss anything they don't want to discuss. They lie, they misrepresent, they clam-up, they accuse, they do everything but respond. Jousting windmills must be a lot more productive.<BR/>Tarheel HawkeyeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
