Bush friend and Obama supporter raises McCain's infidelity

Liberals have been itching to get the issue in circulation for weeks, even more so after the John Edwards confession, and now a prominent Obama supporter has obliquely raised John McCain's admitted infidelity to his first wife.

Per ABC, Kirbyjon Caldwell, who is a close friend of the Bush family and officiated at Jenna Bush's wedding earlier this year, used a conference call organized by a new left-leaning Christian group to go there:

"His marital history has been duly recorded," said Caldwell, referring to McCain, "and as recently as yesterday I think it is, our pastor from Saddleback, Rick Warren indicated that he would not feel comfortable voting for an adulterer and I don't know exactly to whom he was referring but I think the data speaks for itself, and again, at the end of the day, and I really appreciate you raising this because, at the end of the day again I think the American public deserves full revelation of the candidate's character and competency. Character and competency. So, whatever questions that should be asked that would give the voting public an indication as to who they are and what they've done should be fair game."

Asked by ABC's Tapper if he would have compunctions about voting for someone who had cheated on his wife, Warren said Thursday, "Absolutely I would. Absolutely I would. Because if you can’t keep your faith to your most sacred vow — 'til death do us part' — how in the world can I trust you to lead my family? My government? My nation? ... Absolutely I would. I think people first need to ask forgiveness and then earn trust back over time. Can trust be re-earned? Absolutely, but it takes time."

A McCain spokesman had no comment when asked about Caldwell's criticism.

1. It will take repeated calls like this before anything is said in the M$M

I would bet the most effect it will have is silence the Edwards affair coverage of which is now in day 7. Or is it day 8?

They will drop that like a rock before ever mentioning McCain and his straying problems.

2. If there is a God then he will tell Rick Warren to ask McWhiney about this tomorrow in the debate.

5. McCain'll just lie.

What's he got to lose by telling a lie? No one will pursue it. I'll just lie there and everyone will move on.
