Do you think middle America will be accepting of a pill popping first lady? I read this on Wiki.
In 1989, Cindy McCain became addicted to opioid painkillers such as Percocet and Vicodin,[27] which she initially took to alleviate pain following two spinal surgeries for ruptured discs[28][29] and to ease emotional stress during the Keating Five scandal,[27] which involved her as a bookkeeper who had difficulty finding receipts.[15] The addiction progressed to where she resorted to stealing drugs from her own AVMT.[28] During 1992, Tom Gosinski, the director of government and international affairs for AVMT, discovered her drug theft.[30] Subsequently in 1992, her parents staged an intervention to force her to get help;[15] she told her husband about her problem, attended a drug treatment facility, began outpatient sessions, and ended her three years of active addiction.[27] A hysterectomy in 1993 resolved her back pain.[27][29]
