The Arizona Republic did a nice little piece about the Hensley Beverage Company the other day. You know, Hensley as in Senator John McCain's wife Cindy Hensley McCain? They distribute beer and other alcoholic beverages.
And somehow, and I'm sure it was just an oversight, not enough room, tight deadline etc. the piece managed to not mention how Cindy's dad, Jim Hensley, was buddy pals with old Kemper Marley.
How their "friendship" perhaps resulted in Jimmy getting his Budweiser distributorship. As reward, some say, for taking the rap for Marley in an earlier legal dustup.
Or perhaps it was just part of Budweiser's short lived "Felon to Entrepreneur" rehabilitation program?
Of course, if they mentioned Kemper Marley, they might have to mention Don Bolles, who as you may or may not recall, was a reporter for the Republic, and who was looking into Marley's "business" dealings when he somehow managed to get himself blown to bits back in the mid-70's.
And, since The Arizona Republic exists mainly to deliver advertising, it's probably best to not rock the boat. In fact, I think that's on their masthead.
So move along, nothing to see here...just old news...
