I don't know what's going on with WaPo - their coverage seems to have taken an ever so slight turn since McCain started to gain the advantage in national polls.  But, on today's front page, there is a long article detailing Cindy's past w/her addiction to painkillers and full detail about how she was using her charity to obtain them and how she allowed the medical director, John Max Johnson, and another employee, Tom Gosinski, to go down professionally.

Gosinski is an interesting guy.  I'm not clear on what, exactly, his role was in the charity, but it is said that he was close to the McCain family.  He started noticing odd behavior in Cindy and recognized it for what it was and started keeping a journal.  When Cindy realized that he was on to her, she fired him and 3 weeks later, he turned his journals over to the DEA. 

He later launched a separate lawsuit against Cindy for wrongful termination, but didn't have the resources to see that through.  Cindy tried to countersue him for extortion, but the County ended up dropping her charge as being without merit.

Gosinski has been unwilling to come forward until now, because he was afraid of having to face retribution from the McCain campaign.  He finally came forward yesterday and now has the backing of the Center for Responsibility and Ethics, a public watchdog group, if he gets sued as a result.  And by the way, he also stated, while many reporters have contacted him for his story, he has not been contacted by either the Obama Campaign or the DNC.
