The Best In Brief
Is Cindy McCain the New Princess Di?
The aspiring first lady gets a lengthy Times profile, and the McCain campaign responds with guns blazing. Readers may be split on whether it’s “gutter journalism at its worst—an unprecendented attack on a presidential candidate’s spouse,” as the Republican’s camp contends—or simply a long-winded clip job. Among the morsels: Cindy’s alleged emulation of the Princess of Wales, her four-month absence from her family after a 2004 stroke, and questions about whether she has ever traveled to Rwanda, as she claims. Best are priceless lines about her “handshaking injury” and how she “wants approval, from either her husband or the public.”
