1. Sounds like a real job, not just a cushy ambassadorship in London.

Good for her. My respect for this woman keeps increasing.

2. and it's something she's had experience with

...having previously worked with the U.N. World Food Program.

from 2008:

McCain is traveling with the U.N.'s World Food Programme, whose work she monitored in Southeast Asia and Africa this spring and summer. McCain plans to meet with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili and to visit wounded Georgian soldiers. She would also visit representatives of the HALO Trust, which works to remove land mines and on whose board she serves

3. More and more impressive.

6. Prior to that she did it on her own

After vacationing in poor countries she founded a not for profit that mounted medical missions to hard hit areas in the third world using doctors who wanted to donate vacation time.

While in Bangladesh she went to an orphanage run by Mother Teresa where she found 2 emaciated girls unlikely to survive. She adopted one on the spot (Bridget) and arranged to have a family friend adopt the other.

She is a good person.

12. A very good woman.

About those doctors who wanted to donate vacation time, they weren't American doctors, were they?

[wryter2000]

13. I worked with doctors who did that

I worked at a large medical center in CA.

18. My post was tongue-in-cheek about

American medicine being a for profit business. But thanks. It's good to know that some genuinely care.

[wryter2000]

20. Thanks.

Where I worked, doctors were on salary, so they didn't make a profit, per se. They just earned their very nice salary.

Of course, their vacation time is certainly worth something.

14. There are American doctors (and dentists, nurses) who donate vacation time.

I personally know about half a dozen of them, maybe more since they don't usually talk about (brag) about their volunteer actions.

19. See my response to a post above yours on the topic.

16. She also participated in the "No H8te" campaign to overturn Prop 8 in California.

I remember the photo of her posing with her daughter. My opinion of both of them went up at that point, although my view of Meghan has plummeted at this point.

Good choice here, Joe!

4. Meghan not liking this at all.

10. Yea. Eat it Meghan.

I don’t mind M on the view. I actually enjoy faux outrage. But she can eat it politically. Her mom bests her again.

[LiberalLovinLug]

11. She'll have to file for a separation from her mother

"Irreconcilable Differences"

She wants to keep licking the feet of the party that now is made up exclusively of Trump cult members. The guy that shat all over her dad. She's made her choice.

5. Meghan and her hubby are probably having a fit. Glad Cindy McCain

does not give a damn about what the Republican Party thinks.

[kimbutgar]

8. I was thinking the same thing

Will Ben attack his mother in law.

I finally figured out that Meghan had a missing Daddy problem growing up. He was busy in the senate and Meghan didn’t get the attention she craved. Now she is married to a guy who obviously dominates her thinking. I’ve seen the change she’s more belligerent and rude than when her a dad was alive. I gave up watching the view last month because it raised my blood pressure when she came on. Until she’s gone no more View. She has really become an even more awful person because her husband directs her when’s she’s on the view. Even my husband noticed she’s taking cues from her husband off camera.

That said congrats Cindy McCain.

9. Take that Manchin

[wryter2000]

15. Good move

For both Mrs. McCain and our government.

[PJMcK]

17. Is t that called bi-partisanship? (n/t)

[wryter2000]

21. I certainly think so

There's plenty of bi-partisanship (I hate that word) in the general population. It's about damned time journalists stop using it to mean Republication cooperation in the Congress.

[OnDoutside]

22. That's something close to the Bidens, as Hunter was Chairman of World Food USA 2011-2015, which

supports the work of the UN's World Food Programme.

[Skittles]

23. I'm giving her points

Cindy has walked the walk.

[live love laugh]

24. Now what's Meghan going to complain about? nt
