I have something thats bothering me in re something missing in the blogs and the MSM reportage on the "greatest moral failing" question.
How is it that McCain gets to answer the good pastor Warren as to his greatest moral failing with "the failure of his first marriage"? Marriages sometimes fail, and for a variety of reasons, but the failure of a marriage is, in and of itself, NOT a moral failing, let alone a personal one inasmuch as there were two people in the marriage.
This answer is just a shuck and jive of his real moral failure, which was his disloyalty and infidelity WITHIN that marriage, purportedly while his first wife was particularly vulnerable and in need of support of various stripes, none of which included perfidy or ostensible turpitude, nor by implication including her in the moral failure because she was his wife and that marriage failed!
He obviously is incapable of taking ANY responsibility with this answer. I'm sure that at the time the good senator had a perverse and nauseating rational for the whole unsavory mess, just like he seems to have had and still does for some of his MO's in Hanoi, but I just can't seem to shake the feeling that based on this answer to pastor Warren's question, its more of the same old same old from way back when.
This guy McCain is a mess, war hero or not. --Robbie
Absolutely.
