The Daily Mail does a detailed series of interviews with McCain associates and friends about McCain's first wife, Cindy, who was injured in a car crash which changed her appearance, and seems to have led to their divorce. I was surprised to see that Nancy Regan was surprised by the divorce. If you can't stand by your spouse when the times are bad, will you treat the electorate any better?
Ross Perot, who paid her medical bills all those years ago, now believes that both Carol McCain and the American people have been taken in by a man who is unusually slick and cruel – even by the standards of modern politics.
‘McCain is the classic opportunist. He’s always reaching for attention and glory,’ he said.
‘After he came home, Carol walked with a limp. So he threw her over for a poster girl with big money from Arizona. And the rest is history.
Here is Carol as she looks today.

As she looks today is just an x in a box on my screen. Carol has nothing against John. That says a lot.

This is a perfect example of the sewerage being shoveled out by the left-wing and their allies that has led to a 10 point surge in the polls for McCain-Palin. I do hope they keep it up. They are not fooling American voters.

So, let me ask you-any divorces ever in your family? Any divorces ever in your circle of friends and colleagues?
Anyone in your family ever been a POW and away from home for years? Anyone in your family ever had to wait for years, not knowing?
I'm pointing out that it's easy to judge other people's relationships, and the ending of them, from afar. Very easy. But my take on it is this: I wasn't there, in the McCains' bed, in their kitchen, in their daily lives. So I don't know everything that happened between them almost 30 years ago.
And given that there are divorces in my family, among my friends, I'm not going to be too hasty to go judge just one couple among millions. If you've never been exposed to divorce, think it's a sin, and would be willing to condemn in public anyone in your family or friends who gets a divorce, then you're expressing your private morality, and you have a right to do that. But at least apply it evenly, OK?
Because there's John Kerry (Democrat presidential campaign) and his divorce, and the allegations of his rampant infidelity. That didn't seem to upset the liberals very much. Not did it upset anyone that Kerry's second wife is rich, rich, rich.
