In at least one case, Cindy McCain’s business dealings cost the taxpayers a ton of money. When John McCain intervened to help Charles Keating keep running the fraudulent savings and loan which the Feds eventually had to bail out for $2.3 billion dollars, Cindy McCain was involved in a real estate venture with Charles Keating. So if she won’t reveal her tax returns, how are we to know whether her husband’s public actions are still benefiting her private business partners at our expense?

Cindy McCains right to privacy ended the day she spent as “co-host” on The View to pimp her husbands campaign. As long as Faux News insists on examining the financials of the Clinton Library to seek out wrongdoing, the same is fair for Cindy.

Good for her. It’s about time that someone stood up to this ridiculous notion that there is no private life for public figures.

Of course, some IRS flunky will doubtless leak the returns to the media anyway, but the attempt is at least worth something.

Will be interesting to see how her view on privacy is treated by the media compared to Heinz in 2004
