The writer of the Don’t Tell the Donor blog is praising an article in The Washington Post that raised questions about Cindy McCain and how her addiction to prescription drugs may have closed a charity she helped establish.
According to the article, the Republican presidential nominee’s wife has openly discussed her addiction, which she received treatment for in 1992, but the consequences of her personal problems have not been fully explored.
“Her misuse of painkillers prompted an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration and local prosecutors that put her in legal jeopardy. A doctor with McCain’s medical charity who supplied her with prescriptions for the drugs lost his license and never practiced again. The charity, the American Voluntary Medical Team, eventually had to be closed in the wake of the controversy,” says the newspaper.
