Christian Good News magazine blasts Steve McNair with scripture

It got me thinking... Did John McCain cheat on his wife?
From FactCheck.org

Shepp had been severely injured in an automobile accident. When McCain returned from Vietnam, both he and Shepp underwent physical therapy simultaneously. Their marriage lasted seven more years. According to a 2007 profile of McCain in the Arizona Republic, "Their marriage began disintegrating," and "McCain has admitted to having extramarital affairs." But the two remained married. Robert Timberg also describes McCain's extramarital affairs in "The Nightingale's Song":

The Nightingale's Song (pg. 239): The storybook marriage that had survived separation, pain, and prison began to fray. Off-duty, usually on routine cross-country flights to Yuma and El Centro, John [McCain] started carousing and running around with women. ... Asked about them, he admitted to having a series of dalliances during this period.

Then, in 1979, McCain met a young former cheerleader named Cindy Hensley at a military reception in Hawaii. As he described it later in his 2002 book "Worth Fighting For": "She was lovely, intelligent and charming, 17 years my junior but poised and confident." He added, "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."

As the Arizona Republic then related it:

Arizona Republic, March 1, 2007: After a whirlwind courtship, John asked Cindy to marry him. But there were some details to clear out of the way.

McCain needed a divorce from Carol, his wife of 14 years from whom he was never separated.

John and Carol formally separated in January 1980. He requested a divorce from Shepp on Feb. 19, 1980, claiming their marital bond was “irretrievably broken.” He then acquired an Arizona marriage certificate on March 6, 1980, and, according to public records obtained by the Los Angeles Times, the divorce was finalized the following month – five weeks before McCain and Hensley's marriage ceremony.

Bud Day, a lawyer and one of McCain’s fellow prisoners of war, handled McCain's legal affairs. “I thought things were going fairly well, and then it just came apart," the Arizona Republic quoted him as saying. "That happened to quite a few. ... I don't fault [Carol], and I don't really fault John, either.”
