McCain's Divorce

Before John McCain's tour of duty in Vietnam, he married Carol Shepp, a
model from Philadelphia. On his 23rd bombing mission over North Vietnam in
1967, McCain was shot down and captured.
While he was imprisoned, Carol was in an auto wreck (1969), thrown through
her car's windshield and left seriously injured. Despite her injures, she
refused to allow her POW husband to be notified about her condition, fearing
that such news would not be good for him while he was being held prisoner.

When McCain returned to the United States in 1973 after more than five years
as a prisoner of war, he found his wife was a different person. The accident
"left her 4 inches shorter and on crutches, and she had gained a good deal
of weight."

Yearning to make the grade of admiral, McCain enrolled in the National War
College at Fort McNair in Washington, D.C. and underwent physical therapy in
order to fly again. The Navy excused his permanent disabilities and
reinstated him to flight status, effectively positioning him for promotion.

In his book, The Nightingale's Song, Robert Timberg chronicled McCain's
post-Vietnam military assignments and some of his "adulterous" behavior
leading to his divorce from Carol and marriage to Cindy Hensley.

Timberg wrote, "in the fall of 1974, McCain was transferred to Jacksonville
as the executive officer of Replacement Air Group 174, the long-sought
flying billet at last a reality. A few months later, he assumed command of
the RAG, which trained pilots and crews for carrier deployments. The
assignment was controversial, some calling it favoritism, a sop to the
famous son of a famous father and grandfather [both were Navy admirals],
since he had not first commanded a squadron, the usual career path."

While Executive Officer and later as Squadron Commander McCain used his
authority to arrange frequent flights that allowed him to carouse with
subordinates and "engage in extra-marital affairs." Such behavior was a
violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice rules against adultery and
fraternization with subordinates..

Timberg wrote, "Off duty, usually on routine cross-country flights to Yuma
and El Centro, John started carousing and running around with women. To make
matters worse, some of the women with whom he was linked by rumor were
subordinates . . . At the time the rumors were so widespread that, true or
not, they became part of McCain's persona, impossible not to take note of."

In early 1977, Admiral Jim Holloway, Chief of Naval Operations promoted
McCain to captain and transferred him from his command position "to
Washington as the number-two man in the Navy's Senate liaison office. It
wasn't long before the "fun loving and irreverent" McCain had turned the
liaison office into a "late-afternoon gathering spot where senators and
staffers, usually from the Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees,
would drop in for a drink and the chance to unwind."

In 1979 at a military reception in Honolulu, McCain met Cindy Hensley, an
attractive 25-year-old woman from a very wealthy politically-connected
Arizona family. Cindy's father, Jim, founded the Hensley and Company, the
nation's third-largest Anheuser-Busch distributor.

McCain described their first meeting, "She was lovely, intelligent and
charming, 17 years my junior but poised and confident. I monopolized her
attention the entire time, taking care to prevent anyone else from intruding
on our conversation. When it came time to leave the party, I persuaded her
to join me for drinks at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. By the evening's end, I
was in love."

While still married to Carol, McCain began an adulterous relationship with
Cindy. He married Cindy in May 1980 -- just a month after dumping Carol and
securing a divorce. The newlyweds honeymooned in Hawaii.

McCain followed his young, millionairess wife back to Arizona where her
father helped catapult McCain into politics,

Today, Cindy Hensley McCain is chairwoman of Hensley's board of directors.
Hensley and Company financial reports show assets worth a minimum of $28
million for the McCains.

What we do not want is a self righteous ass who thinks they are perfect
or doing the work of god. We want one of us, with all our foibles and
weaknesses.

McCain is a clone of jr.
