Never mind Sarah Palin and whether Trigg is hers or her daughter's. Never mind Bristol's current pregnancy. McCain's indescretions are even more disgraceful.
McCain returned from Viet Nam to his first wife Carol (a former swimsuit model), who had a very serious car accident while waiting all those years for her husband. Carol had many surgeries which left her with a limp and several inches shorter and pounds heavier than when John had left her. He began having extramarital affairs, and soon met Cindy, 17 years his junior, beautiful and wealthy. He filed for marriage before his divorce was final, and married Cindy one month after his divorce to Carol.
Here's what McCain says about his initial meeting with Cindy:
"She was lovely, intelligent and charming, 17 years my junior but poised and confident," McCain wrote in his 2002 book, Worth the Fighting For. "I monopolized her attention the entire time, taking care to prevent anyone else from intruding on our conversation. When it came time to leave the party, I persuaded her to join me for drinks at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. By the evening's end, I was in love."
Here's a link to YouTube of CNN's interview with McCain on the subject: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChIX-XHlZFw
Why isn't the media making an issue of his character (or lack of it)? Because it was 30 years ago? So was his stay at the "Hanoi Hilton."
