Beer, Bait & Ammo-John & Cindy Have A Problem

Post by LaWood »

As the song says "they got it all", Cindy and John McCain that is.

John's always supported plenty of ammo, Cindy's the beer queen, and Karl Rove is still fixing up the bait from behind the scenes. But for the present time focus on the beer.

McCain could have a conflict brewing

His wife, Cindy McCain, owns a beer distribution company that has engaged in lobbying. As senator he's recused himself from alcohol issues, but as president he wouldn't be able to.

Hensley & Co., one of the nation's major beer wholesalers, has brought the family of Cindy McCain wealth, prestige and influence in Phoenix, but it could also create conflicts for her husband, Sen. John McCain, if he is elected president in November.

Hensley, founded by Cindy McCain's late father, holds federal and state licenses to distribute beer and lobbies regulatory agencies on alcohol issues that involve public health and safety.
