One of the less inspiring parts of John McCain’s life story was when, after coming back from Vietnam, he dumped his first wife Carole to marry rich beer heiress Cindy.

Now it appears that he has been lying about some of the specifics:

• McCain wrote that he had separated from Carol before he began dating Cindy, but his divorce gives the date of separation as Jan 7, 1980, 9 months after staring to date his 2nd wife to be.
• His divorce was granted April 2, 1980, but he got Arizona marriage license on March 6, 1980, while still legally married to his first wife.

Hmmmmm…….I’m sure that the press will find some way of making it “inspiring”.
