There is not much written about McCain’s first wife, Carol.  With good reason.  The story is a sickening example of a childish man stealing his buddy’s wife (Carol), then abandoning her, crippled and tattered, for a beauty queen beer heiress.   It sounds like a cruel political sound bite, but it is frightenly true.

Carol McCain gave the London mail an interview.  Here she tells of her car accident, recovery, and gaining weight all while McCain was a POW.  McCain returned from capture to cast Carol aside.  Carol says of the marriage:

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

Carol McCain, strapped financially by the accident, has a clause in her divorce settlement barring her from being vocal about the terms of the separation.  Carol’s marriage to McCain was not her first.  She was married to an Annapolis classmate of McCain and had two children.  McCain felt it was sporting to lure her away and married her….only to dump her for the next heiress that came along.

With values like that, we should all hide our loot should McCain become president.
