Hey CHECK IT OUT why don’t you go write for the Obama campaign. For that matter how much are you being paid to write such a long blog. I really don’t care at this point what McCain did, has done, or will do. At least he’s not Obama.

in my opinion the person giving TIPS to NAT ENQ etc is hunter..by keeping this on front page mrs edwards may leave johnny boy & then hunter THINKS she can move in & take her place. this is hunters moment of shame(i mean fame)& shes milking it for all its worth. also by “dropping dimes “hunter is bringing this to a head—seems very calculated(devious) to me… at 44 yrs old she decided to finally have a kid.WHY NOW?

All I can say is written in the bible
“Let him without sin, cast the first stone.” I am not saying that what he did was okay, but if he as just a plain nobody, who would care. The media would not even pay attention to this story. Let him and his family work this out. The media should leave them alone.

If this is true about McCain, he is just as bad if not worse than Edwards. Why is this story not more widely reported??

IF you think John Edwards screwed up, consider the REPUBLICAN candidate for PRESIDENT: JOHN McCAIN… and the OTHER Mrs. McCain…

McCain likes to illustrate his moral fibre by referring to his five years as a prisoner-of-war in Vietnam. And to demonstrate his commitment to family values, the 71-year-old former US Navy pilot pays warm tribute to his beautiful blonde wife, Cindy, with whom he has four children.

BUT THERE IS ANOTHER Mrs. McCain who casts a ghostly shadow over the Senator’s presidential campaign. She is seldom seen and rarely written about, despite being mother to McCain’s three eldest children.

And yet, had events turned out differently, it would be she, rather than Cindy, who would be vying to be First Lady. She is McCain’s first wife, Carol, who was a famous beauty and a successful swimwear model when they married in 1965.

She was the woman McCain dreamed of during his long incarceration and torture in Vietnam’s infamous ‘Hanoi Hilton’ prison and the woman who faithfully stayed at home looking after the children and waiting anxiously for news.

But when McCain returned to America in 1973 to a fanfare of publicity and a handshake from Richard Nixon, he discovered his wife had been disfigured in a terrible car crash three years earlier. Her car had skidded on icy roads into a telegraph pole on Christmas Eve, 1969. Her pelvis and one arm were shattered by the impact and she suffered massive internal injuries.

When Carol was discharged from hospital after six months of life-saving surgery, the prognosis was bleak. In order to save her legs, surgeons had been forced to cut away huge sections of shattered bone, taking with it her tall, willowy figure. She was confined to a wheelchair and was forced to use a catheter.

Through sheer hard work, Carol learned to walk again. But when John McCain came home from Vietnam, she had gained a lot of weight and bore little resemblance to her old self.

Today, she stands at just 5ft4in and still walks awkwardly, with a pronounced limp. Her body is held together by screws and metal plates and, at 70, her face is worn by wrinkles that speak of decades of silent suffering.

For nearly 30 years, Carol has maintained a dignified silence about the accident, McCain and their divorce. But last week at the bungalow where she now lives at Virginia Beach, a faded seaside resort 200 miles south of Washington, she told The Mail on Sunday how McCain divorced her in 1980 and married Cindy, 18 years his junior and the heir to an Arizona brewing fortune, just one month later.

Carol insists she remains on good terms with her ex-husband, who agreed as part of their divorce settlement to pay her medical costs for life. ‘I have no bitterness,’she says. ‘My accident is well recorded. I had 23 operations, I am five inches shorter than I used to be and I was in hospital for six months. It was just awful, but it wasn’t the reason for my divorce.

‘My marriage ended because John McCain didn’t want to be 40, he wanted to be 25. You know that happens…it just does.’

Some of McCain’s acquaintances are less forgiving, however. They portray the politician as a self-centred womaniser who effectively abandoned his crippled wife to ‘play the field’. They accuse him of finally settling on Cindy, a former rodeo beauty queen, for financial reasons.

McCain was then earning little more than £25,000 a year as a naval officer, while his new father-in-law, Jim Hensley, was a multi-millionaire who had impeccable political connections.

He first met Carol in the Fifties while he was at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis. He was a privileged, but rebellious scion of one of America’s most distinguished military dynasties – his father and grandfather were both admirals.

But setting out to have a good time, the young McCain hung out with a group of young officers who called themselves the ‘Bad Bunch’.

His primary interest was women and his conquests ranged from a knife-wielding floozy nicknamed ‘Marie, the Flame of Florida’ to a tobacco heiress.

Carol fell into his fast-living world by accident. She escaped a poor upbringing in Philadelphia to become a successful model, married an Annapolis classmate of McCain’s and had two children – Douglas and Andrew – before renewing what one acquaintance calls ‘an old flirtation’ with McCain.

It seems clear she was bowled over by McCain’s attention at a time when he was becoming bored with his playboy lifestyle.

I don’t think people will forgive him this. How reckless, self-centered, and dishonest can you be? And he wanted to be president? He would really have screwed it up for the Democratic Party if he had been nominated. What a selfish boob. And that’s not even mentioning his long-suffering wife. What a total cad. He is a lying sack. And it’s clear there’s way more dirt here, with all of his friends paying her way. I hope they conduct an investigation into whether campaign funds were misused. Given what Elizabeth must endure now, in addition to her terminal illness, he cannot suffer enough in my book.

I can’t believe that donald trump even has the nerve to say anything about edwards when this guy can’t keep his pants zipped! And I don’t mean because of his big gut either!

I was so sad that he has done this. I truly believed he was an honest upstanding person. His wife really deserved so much more. I deplore the adultry but I can’t get over the fact she was battling cancer during this. He deserves all that he has gotten in the media. My prayers go out to Mrs. Edwards and his children.
