A picture is worth a thousand words. When there are no pictures, words attempt to paint pictures and conjure images from imagination.
Words are being churned to paint the picture of John McCain, 71, the Republican candidate. The picture suggests that he was romantically involved and did political favors to help Vicki Iseman.
On Thursday, Feb. 21, John McCain suffered the indignity of having to publicly refute the allegations at a press conference. The Senator’s second wife, Cindy McCain, stood by him and expressed her faith and support for him. The couple’s two sons serve in the military. The McCain family portrait was a painted picture of the emblem of patriotism.
A printer painted a picture that was first inked in, 8 years ago. Its canvas had Ms. Iseman at the lowest rung of the ladder at Alcalde & Fay. It was a lobbying firm that persuaded members of Congress to vote for legislation that favored their clients in the TV industry. By 1999, the receptionist had risen from the ranks to lobby directly at Mr. McCain’s offices. The watchdogs warned McCain and Ms. Iseman that they might be implicated under the dark cloud of suspicion that followed every public figure.
Around this time, the picture of Mrs. Cindy McCain was a lone portrait of a woman battling her personal demon of addiction to prescription medication. Mr. McCain was notably absent from this picture.
Some rivals had fingered the weak spot in the canvas. Mr. McCain’s painted shadow was a line of women conquests. By a confession, Barack Obama erased doubts about his past use of drugs and wiped clean his canvas. John McCain had also erased the stigma of womanizing by his confession of a reformation.
We have heard from the horse’s mouth. There is no ink to paint the pictures. There are no naked models so the canvas remains unblemished.
