Can anyone verify an anti-McCain email I just got forwarded?

From my Republican dad, no less, I just got a forwarded email (many times forwarded) called "My Vacation With John McCain." It purports to be an account by a woman named Ana Dubey of a week she and her husband spent at close quarters with John McCain at a resort in Fiji in 2000. It details a wide range of assholic and bizarre behaviors toward the other guests in general and women in particular. I looked this up on Snopes.com but it has not made an appearance there yet. Has anyone else gotten this? Has it been verified anywhere? It seemed to me to be almost too awful to be true. And that's pretty awful.

3. yes, it's all true

actually, i saw it when it was posted here the other day, and i am skeptical. there is much about mccain that is repugnant and reprehensible, but this story, while amusing, doesn't seem credible.

The comments on tellingthoughts.com were excellent and added more clues that indicate the story is true.

5. Who cares if it's true or not

Just get the story out. Whatever works!
My granddaughter came home from ASU today and said all the kids are talking about Todd Palin doing his daughters, and it must be true because Al Franken said it in a speech somewhere. This is how to get the dirt out.

6. I wondered what happened to that story

It just sort of went "poof" after a couple days.

Hope it gets revived and verified.

Please read the comments, with the last one being:

"XXX is now in contact with Ms. Dubey to publish the story. Stay tuned!
