Funny Money

OK, below is the video of John McCain bringing up his P.O.W. experience in response to a question about his inability to remember or even know how many homes he and Cindy own. But there is something else to note in the video. He also uses the military experience of his father-in-law to deflect the criticism. But now he has opened the door wider for people to take a close look at Cindy's father, Jim Hensley, and his divorce, his wealth and how he got it (are there ties to organized crime?).

It is a story that most of the Big Money Media is ignoring, but the New York Times hit the story hard on Saturday. Check out the entire article here:

"But the Hensley family wealth, from its rough-and-tumble origins to prominence in Arizona’s corporate world, is also the fortune that propelled John McCain into national politics. A clearer picture of that fortune emerges from a review of public records and interviews with employees, business associates, friends and relatives."
