waited for him while he was in the prisoner camp and when he got back she had gotten into a bad car accident that left her with health issues. What did he do? He went and cheated on her leaving her for a younger woman whose family had money. He misused military planes that he caused to crash. Had it been any other pilot they would have kick him off of planes. But his daddy and granddaddy were generals. To me McCain was a nothing back then. The topper for me was picking Palin. I don't think he picked her for her brain. He thought (stupidly) that women would vote for him. He put the country in danger with that pick. Not a chance.
