If you're going to bag on the "Ice Queen", maybe you should know a little more about her.
The stories told to me by the Days involve more than wartime valor. For example, in 1991 Cindy McCain was visiting Mother Teresa's orphanage in
Bangladesh when a dying infant was thrust into her hands. The orphanage could not provide the medical care needed to save her life, so Mrs. McCain
brought the child home to America with her. She was met at the airport by her husband, who asked what all this was about. Mrs. McCain replied that the
child desperately needed surgery and years of rehabilitation. "I hope she can stay with us," she told her husband. Mr. McCain agreed. Today that
child is their teenage daughter Bridget. I was aware of this story. What I did not know, and what I learned from Doris, is that there was a second
infant Mrs. McCain brought back. She ended up being adopted by a young McCain aide and his wife.
"We were called at midnight by Cindy," Wes Gullett remembers, and "five days later we met our new daughter Nicki at the L.A. airport wearing the
only clothing Cindy could find on the trip back, a 7-Up T-shirt she bought in the Bangkok airport." Today, Nicki is a high school sophomore. Mr.
Gullett told me, "I never saw a hospital bill" for her care.
If you call that being an "Ice Queen", I'll take her as First Lady!
