Cindy McCain is heiress to a Phoenix-based beer-distributing company, making her worth about $100 million. Last month she was embarrassed into divesting herself of more than $2 million in mutual funds which hold stock in companies doing business with the genocidal leaders of Sudan. Through her giant Budweiser distributorship, Cindy McCain has also given her hubby fat breaks on air travel. The New York Times compared what the McCain campaign paid for using Cindy's private planes with the market rate for the trips taken and concluded that she was "subsidizing her husband's campaign" to the tune of perhaps a half million dollars.
