This isn't a DB related movie, but it's a DB related theme in our current political situation.
Senator McCain's wife Cindy Hensley, was the OW. John McCain was a married man with children when he met Cindy, 17 years his junior, at a party in 1979. Cindy was the beautiful multi-millionaire heiress of a large beer-distributorship. He started dating her immediately and then pressed his wife for a divorce. He married Cindy within a year. They have three children of their own and adopted one.
Forgot to mention it, John and Cindy they are both regular church attenders.
Seemingly worked out for John McCain didn't it?
Something nags at me, though. A sense of injustice.
While McCain was a POW, his first wife took care of the children and held the family together. She waited patiently for him to come home. After he came home she was in a car accident that left her partially crippled. It is rumored that he had his marriage license to Cindy before his divorce was final from the first wife.
With the public knowing all of this why were they so quick to condemn Edwards, but not McCain?
It's sad how society excuses such behavior from politicians. No wonder that the average John/Jane Doe thinks that it is acceptable to leave their spouse because they no longer meet their needs and they have "grown apart".

OMG, I was reading Robs post about October Road and thought, Has anyone been watching Swingtown. Didn't think I even wanted to see it but the issue of infidelity and MLC are being addressed and it is hitting H in the face I think. I can hear H's breathing change. Makes me smile.

Anyone watch the Oprah Show yesterday on infidelity? I missed it.
Yeah, it was ok but painful to watch. You might want to check out the Oprah website on Why Men Cheat if you're interested in the book btw. (Not allowed to post link I think it said). Karen
