I honestly had no idea until today. Makes me want to puke.

Quote
In 1979 at a military reception in Honolulu, McCain met Cindy Hensley, an attractive 25-year-old woman from a very wealthy politically-connected Arizona family. Cindy's father, Jim, founded the Hensley and Company, the nation's third-largest Anheuser-Busch distributor.

McCain described their first meeting, "She was lovely, intelligent and charming, 17 years my junior but poised and confident. 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."

While still married to Carol, McCain began an adulterous relationship with Cindy. He married Cindy in May 1980 -- just a month after dumping Carol and securing a divorce. The newlyweds honeymooned in Hawaii.

McCain followed his young, millionairess wife back to Arizona where her father helped catapult McCain into politics,

Today, Cindy Hensley McCain is chairwoman of Hensley's board of directors. Hensley and Company financial reports show assets worth a minimum of $28 million for the McCains

He may win the Republican nomination, but he has no chance against Clinton OR Obama.

It makes me wonder why the Viet Cong ever let him out...

Plagiarized from Trent Reznor's "Hurt" (best performed by Johnny Cash btw...)

"I wear my crown of s**t
On my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stain of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have i become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone i know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

Some more details are here:

Sounds like there was a history of affairs for John, which is too bad, I actually thought he was a decent guy, ugh.

The most pathetic quote has got to be this, because he wasn't even referring to the affair:

Quote
"So our marriage," McCain cracks, "is really based on a tissue of lies."

Might be if the Huckster wasn't helping McCain shut him out.

Huckster stole the first primary today from Mitt in WV.

I'm still optimistic that Mitt can win in California and a few other key states today.

She did briefly address her divorce to Timberg: "The breakup of our marriage was not caused by my accident or Vietnam or any of those things. I don't know that it might not have happened if John had never been gone. I attribute it more to John turning 40 and wanting to be 25 again than I do to anything else."
Can you say midlife crisis? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Duh, sounds like every WS on the books doesn't it?

Yeah, I wish "huckster" LOL at the name would quit so Romney would have a chance. He is giving the votes to McCain. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Yeah I was already not liking McCain - his softness on immigration is disappointing and his vocal support for H1-B visas infuriates me - but I was psyching myself up to hold my nose and vote for him anyway come November.

Not now. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Me, too. I just don't know honestly. Except for the war, McCain is pretty darn liberal. Just like Guiliani, not sure I can put my trust in a man that tosses his W aside like yesterdays trash.
