"For too long," wailed the senator in a heart-tugging cry for justice, "some in this country have been deprived of full participation in the political process."
Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader of the U.S. Senate, has never been mistaken for a bleeding-heart liberal, so you can rest assured that his anguish over inequality did not concern the disenfranchisement of minorities or poor people--or any kind of people, for that matter. No, it is the tragic political deprivation faced by America's corporations that moved Mitch to such an outpouring of woe.

MRS. MCCAIN HELPS OUT
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.
