IS CINDY McCAIN SAYING NO TO HUSBAND JOHN?

Are you reading something into this Cindy McCain situation? Her husband, former Republican presidential candidate John McCain, is against gay marriage and Cindy has always disagreed with him on the matter, but now she’s become poster girl for the NO on Prop 8 campaign. THAT’S a slap in the face, especially since her husband is running for senate again. We love that Cindy wants to show that “party doesn’t matter “ concerning this issue, and she thinks “more Republicans need to take a stand for equality.” (Personally, we’d love to see both parties become less radical and less religious.) Cindy’s the smart one in this family, but does her open defiance indicate a rift in her marriage? Usually trophy wives are submissive, but the fact that Cindy is quite wealthy makes a difference. She’s a hero in West Hollywood.

A QUESTIONABLE DISPLAY IN HOLLYWOOD

This is a front yard in Hollywood, California. There’s something very unsettling about this hanging effigy of Sarah Palin. It smacks of sexism and worse. John McCain is featured in flames at the top of the house. What kind of people occupy this home? More important, what has this woman done to deserve such incredible hatred? So WHAT if we don’t agree with her! Can’t we voters support our own candidates without belittling others? This effigy is an insult to decent Obama supporters everywhere. MUST we turn into a nation of fanatical haters? It’s just another election.

WILL THIS PHOTO COST THE REPUBLICANS THE ELECTION?

The fact that publicity starved TV couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are endorsing the McCain- Palin ticket (and promoting themselves) is enough to provide Obama a landslide victory. THAT’S how much this pair seems to be disliked. Their fake photo sessions and fake smiles are not winning many fans. Some insiders are calling them has-beens. Note the six-pack, shotgun, and Palin T shirts, and try not to gag.

Penn Badgley and Blake Lively have a new political video warning parents NOT to vote for McCain. It’s a takeoff on those anti drug or don’t drink and drive video s aimed at teens. A funny idea, but will adults take advice from these kids? Meanwhile, the happy couple explored the West Village this weekend.

Readers have suggested that we designate a particular place for political comments. Too many comments about candidates are being posted in unrelated areas. So if you have something to say about the election, please do it HERE. As much as we appreciate the new political enthusiasm, we ARE concerned about our terribly divided country. Get it off your chest – just try to be smart, relevant, and …GOSSIPY!
