Coming off the launch of SAFER's "Cindy McCain: Drug Dealer" campaign, J.D. Tuccille has a great piece featured on Examiner.com ("Cindy McCain makes millions while Greg Gibson does time") which explores the differences in how alcohol dealer Cindy McCain is being treated compared to folks like Greg Gibson, who is in prison for selling marijuana. Cindy McCain may get deluxe taxpayer-funded quarters in the White House
as a partial result of the wealth and connections that come with
masterminding sales of her preferred intoxicant. For transporting
shipments of his preferred intoxicant, Greg Gibson has already spent
years in somewhat less-splendid taxpayer-funded quarters at the Great Plains Correctional Facility,
a privately run prison that houses many of Arizona's convicted
lawbreakers far from home in Hinton, Oklahoma. And a life of financial
ruin along with the dodgy status of a convicted felon awaits him upon
his release from prison.
