More news you won't get on TV

Good ole McSame
Mr. McCain, who with his wife, Cindy, has an adopted daughter, said flatly that he opposed allowing gay couples to adopt. “I think that we’ve proven that both parents are important in the success of a family so, no, I don’t believe in gay adoption,” he said.

Let's see - "both parents are important" - so important in fact that he ditched his first wife and their kids to have an affair with an heiress - got a marriage license to wed that heiress while he was still married to wife #1...and that heiress admits he was not always her for the family and/or her.

From the LA Times
In his 2002 memoir, "Worth the Fighting For," McCain wrote that he had separated from Carol before he began dating Hensley.

"I spent as much time with Cindy in Washington and Arizona as our jobs would allow," McCain wrote. "I was separated from Carol, but our divorce would not become final until February of 1980."

An examination of court documents tells a different story. McCain did not sue his wife for divorce until Feb. 19, 1980, and he wrote in his court petition that he and his wife had "cohabited" until Jan. 7 of that year -- or for the first nine months of his relationship with Hensley.

Although McCain suggested in his autobiography that months passed between his divorce and remarriage, the divorce was granted April 2, 1980, and he wed Hensley in a private ceremony five weeks later. McCain obtained an Arizona marriage license on March 6, 1980, while still legally married to his first wife.

Again I ask - does the still not recognize that facts stay facts - especially in court documents? or maybe he is counting on the pure laziness of most of the media to slip on by...he has a good thing going with the media as they fail to ask the most basic questions or do the most basic investigating.
