McCain's Dumped First Wife Speaks Out

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

Carol McCain has finally spoken out on behalf of her ex-husband, Vietnam War hero and now anti-condom Presidential candidate.

Carol was a swimsuit model who married the future Senator in 1965, just under two years prior to his tour of duty in Vietnam...

"I thought, of course, we would live happily ever after," said Carol, who now lives in Virginia Beach.

What really happened is that John McCain had to endure five plus years of torture in a POW camp, while unbeknownst to him, his wife was undergoing multiple surgeries following a horrific car accident. However, as Carol now tells it, neither had to do with John McCain's decision to leave his wife seven years after his return from 'Nam:

"My accident is well recorded," Carol recounted. "I had 23 operations, I am five inches shorter than I used to be and I was in the hospital for six months. It was just awful, but it wasn't the reason for my divorce."

Although John married his current wife – 17 years his junior – just a month after the split, Carol insists, "I have no bitterness."

Someone look into her finances, I think she just became a millionaire.  She should also say, on the record, that she is and never has been suicidal.
