I'll put $50 on shame.

Cindy's one step closer to being the only child she's always wanted to be!

She died from Alzheimer's. You know. The same disease Cindy's husband is suffering from.

baorao: I'll put $50 on shame.

you have earned 1 internet!

oops - forgot your coop-un

Yeah, I thought sweet li'l Cindy wants everyone to believe she's an only child

Everyone's on their second or third marriage! But don't be fooled: Obama's the one who'll try to replace your traditional family values with eeeeeeeeeeevil Islam

Did she also wear her make up like a trollopy coont? Or since she was a half sister just one of the two?

Dixie Lea Bird died in Phoenix? Then she'll be alright. She should just rise from the ashes, right?

Good Lord you people are some heartless hate filled losers. Fark community is getting worse than Huffpo or kos communities ever thought about. It's a damn shame I pay $5 a month to read this bullshiat.

I'll bet it was pancakes, and Sharon pals around with sheet music. Gumby tie fortune cakes.

October Surprise?

Why is this under the politics tab?

she was lucky, she could only remember 2000 john mccain while the rest of us will never forget what he's become

Uh, you've been here almost three years and finally figured out Farkers are arseholes when someone dies?

Alright, guys, stop with the jokes. I feel terrible, alzheimers is probably one of the absolute worst way to go for anyone.

FTA: Cindy McCain - "I am hopeful that my family's privacy will be respected at this time."

She then swallowed what appeared to be a Chiclet from a prescription bottle and added "until such time as it is politically expedient to bring them up again, of course."

That sucks. Wasn't she on bad terms with Cindy and John or something?

wow...the mcain camp tries to one-up everything...joe biden has a death in the family...quick lets kill off a family member. attention whores.

She'll attack Obama from the funeral, then say he's waging a dirty campaign.

Gee, that's too bad. Sorry.

Y'know, stem-cell research might help find a way to treat Alzheimer's?

I would refer you to the Paul Newman thread please. I would also refer you to the Farker whose son has cancer and the amount of people from Fark who donated to him.

No one knew this woman so she just exists in the abstract. A lot of people are sick of the McCain campaign and so are projecting those frustrations onto this half-sister. But of course, Alzheimer's sucks and I really don't think this makes anyone here happy.

Surool: She'll attack Obama from the funeral, then say he's waging a dirty campaign.

Obama causes Alzheimers!

some how this will be Obamas fault for having a half brother in kenya and not supporting him.

Who?

Well I guess I can forget about that $50 she owed me.

guilt by association: That sucks. Wasn't she on bad terms with Cindy and John or something?

That was the other half sister. The one that, out of spite, now supports Obama.

"She had been very ill for quite some time, and it was difficult for loved ones to see her suffer"

Which is spin for: Cindy never once visited her dying sister.

That will teach her to support Obama.

All you McCain relatives are on notice too.

Is this the sister that didn't get a cut of the inheritance, and Cindy refuses to acknowledge that she exists?

Hideously Gigantic Smurf: Gee, that's too bad. Sorry.

Y'know, stem-cell research might help find a way to treat Alzheimer's?

you know he supports stem-cell research right?

This is very sad.

How old was she? 74?

Altzheimer's is awful.

Ed Finnerty: Well I guess I can forget about that $50 she owed me.

Why not? She forgot about it months ago.

EL_FABREZ: Is this the sister that didn't get a cut of the inheritance, and Cindy refuses to acknowledge that she exists?

Nope. That was the other half sister.

I bet she even forgot to fill out her absentee ballot.

She never liked her half-siblings anyways. She always considered herself the only child.

Who names her daughters Dixie Lea and Cindy Lou? Was she hoping they'd grow up to be burlesque queens?

A fat batch of stem cells would have cleared that right up.

......uuuhhhhhhhhh......proves......

But Cindy McCain said at her father's funeral that she was an only child!

/true

One less person to go to a starbucks across the street from another starbucks...

The_Six_Fingered_Man: Ed Finnerty: Well I guess I can forget about that $50 she owed me.

Why not? She forgot about it months ago.

*rimshot*

(Thanks for not leaving me hanging)

THIS.

I may not be voting for Obama, but I sure as hell wouldn't be making such hateful posts were his wife to lose a sister (or some family member) to something like Alzheimer's. Making fun of someone's suffering based solely upon the politics of someone they're related to is shameful behavior for anyone.

AdolfOliverPanties: I bet she even forgot to fill out her absentee ballot.

Interesting conundrum there. If someone fills in an absentee ballot and then dies before election day, does it count?

Wait, wait, when Biden was at his mother-in-laws funeral, you NeoCon Artists were hee-hawing about him.

/hypocritical much?

So it's ok for me to do since I'm voting for McCain then, right?

baorao: I'll put $50 on shame.

I'm going to admit that I laughed... then felt guilty. (Then laughed a little more.)

Looks like John McCain thinks that this country's healthcare system is imperfect enough for him to pal around with people who have Alzheimer's. The American people need to know the truth about how close this relationship was and whether he implicitly supports this disease, pancakes.

Well, regardless, Alzheimer's is still funny, though I can't remember why.

We aren't making fun of a family death because we disagree with a political standpoint. We are doing it because we are farkers, a bunch of anonymous assholes standing at Hell's bus depot, ticket in hand.
