Q: What's missing from McCain's campaign bio?...A: Mrs. McCain! (wife #1)
See if YOU can find her in his bio, Carol Shepp, here: http://www.johnmccain.com/About/

Why wouldn't Mr. Straight Talker want to talk straight about his first wife? And why hasn't the MSM gone there? Could there possibly be something there that he might be ASHAMED of?

Carol Shepp was a beautiful fashion model- McCain adopted her 2 kids then they had another... but tragically she had a horrible, disfiguring car accident while McCain was a POW. When he was released he proceeded to have numerous affairs, then he dumped her for a mistress: Cindy Hensley, a gorgeous heiress to a fortune. Dumped the first Mrs. McCain and their kids. Thread with some other links: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=6246558&mesg_id=6246558

This reminds me of Giuliani's campaign bio- wives #1 and #2 were nowhere to be found.

What is it with hypocritical "values" Republicans and their refusal to own up to their misconduct? Why are they alway trading up their wives for newer models? Then turn around and mock a loyal family man because he eats arugula!



John McCain and his "missing" first wife, Carol Shepp.

Edited on Wed Jun-04-08 12:58 PM by Flirtus
about something that will never matter as he hasn't a chance!

He's yet really really old, and has lots of Children who aren't mentioned so much, either. Your picture: Taken in 1973 after McCain's release from a North Vietnamese prison camp


* Birth Date: Saturday, August 29, 1936
* Birth Place: Panama Canal Zone

* Family: Married: Cindy Hensley, Carol Shepp (divorced). Children: Bridget (adopted), Jimmy, Jack, Meghan, Sidney. Adopted sons from Carol's previous marriage: Andy, Doug.

edited to add:
While he was imprisoned, (Carol) was in an auto wreck, thrown through her car's windshield and left seriously injured...
(your photos don't make it perfectly clear that they are post-P.O.W. and post-injury)
he met Cindy Lou Hensley
McCain and Shepp were divorced in 1980, and he married Cindy the following month.

7. LOL- the belated "Queen of Mean"
one memorable anecdote from the book by the same name: Leona would have a poolside servant feed her a shrimp off a silver platter every time she did a lap in her pool.. picture that! (Never read the book, but this was widely reported at the tijme it was published).
