Ex-Flame of McCain's Emerges in Rio

...back in the day...I'd have done the same. It's not like he's out cruising today and paying for it like half the rest of the current politians do regardless of their party affiliations or sexual orientation. And WHO is Obama anyway - that would be some news. The DNC might as well just give up the game and run Richard Daley and get it out of their system - quit with the "hiding" of who's actually bankrolling this DNC campaign - that goes beyond "special interests" and "lobbyists"...

Obama? do you want to win , so the ppl can say that?? did this to us ,gwb take all the money and power and run ,let the gop have it ,i have not worked in 9mo ,who cares i will be sleeping outside in about 6 more mo

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz

So much for political insight and the issues.

Thats nice. Now caan we get to his heath care plan?

Okay, I admit I was wrong to feign boredom with this post. Shouldn't have cast aspersions on Sen. Obama's Chicago political machine connections. I stand corrected for misplacing my sense of humor. Having read a translation of an account by McCain's Brazilian love I now realize that no one need worry about Palin's lack of "Foreign Relations experience". Apparently Sen. McCain has enough "Foreign Relations experience" for both of them.

Good grief, there are an awful lot of overly-sensitive people commenting here. I realize that the election is coming down to the wire, so partisans on both side probably can't help but take umbrage at every little thing which they think might indicate bias against their candidate. I've certainly seen plenty of attacks on Jake Tapper by Obama supporters when he runs a negative story. Today it's coming from McCain supporters.

But really, my immediate reaction to this was that it was a rather sweet human interest story: Old flame still has fond memories of John McCain, as he does of her. He's an old man now, trapped in a body which was damaged by North Vietnamese captors, but once he was a handsome young stud. Good for him. Doubt that it will have any significant impact politically, but any minor impact will probably be in his favor.

My kudos to you, Mr. Tapper. Anything you write is going to draw heavy incoming fire from one side or the other. Ignore it and just try to be as fair as you can.

I don't believe this. People use this story to belittle Obama's background. Give me a break.

The public comprises such gullible slags. A nonsense "story" consisting of bygone details with little to no impact on the near-trillion-dollar mess facing our economy, and watch the comments come out: "Obama and Ayers" "liberal media" "in the tank." Have you people completely dismissed from your mind the relevant issues facing this country? Unless you want the MSM to dig up Sen. McCain's Keating Five memories, you may not want to keep hammering about what Sen. Obama did as an 8-year-old. Unless, of course, what's good for the Republican goose...

ZZZZZZZZ. Ayres/Obama on the Annenberg and Woods Boards throwing $$ to fringe political types; Obama siphoning city & state funds to Slumlord pal Rezko (he of 41 Syrian trips and Obama house purchase) with projects still unbuilt & Rezko in prison; Auchi (Saddam's Oil $$ for politicians man) connection? who knows, certainly not the reporters who don't investigate; Pakistan trip with his room mate Sadiqqi, why?; Obama's unusual supporters boost him into Harvard, why?;

But last but not least: Ex-Flame of McCain's Emerges in Rio. Only news if she'd been in a cocoon for 51 years and now has colorful, gossamer wings.

Fascinating that you can find friendships and relationships who remember McCain happily after fifty years but cannot provide any details of Obama's relationships. Does that freak have any real friends? Has he ever spent any time with a woman other than his beard, excuse me, 'wife' Michelle? How about some details of his travels to Pakistan and his druggie foreign associates. That happened a lot later than fifty years ago. By the by, we have McCain's medical records, where are Obama's? Given the fact that neither of his parents survived to age fifty, we need some accurate information about that drug using chain smoker's current health.

Biden makes 3 gaffes in one interview w Curic, another about his helo getting forced down by Osama Bin Laden, complains about his own campaign's ads re McCain's inability to use a keyboard because he was tortured in a prisoner of war camp, and meanwhile the msm is waited/begging for Sarah Palin to make the most minor gaffe, and wasting time reporting stories like this one? Come on guys. Give us a break, and show some NEWS. 50+yr old girlfriends from Rio. What's next? A John McCain slept here NEWS story?

He was 20 and still in college [Naval Academy]. Marriage for McCain begins 9 years later.This is easy stuff.

50 years ago! Who cares.

Man what a great romantic story of youth.
John is definitely a Lady's man.

Mr McCain was a 20 year old college [Naval Academy] student who did not marry anyone until seven years later.So what's the big deal.

ABC is now Axelrod broadcasting conspiracy? And becoming just another blade of astrotruf.

Obama has little to no history before the age of 18....and this is all the LSM can do?

Jake, seriously, are you going to have this on the evening news? Is a romantic affair between two unmarried consenting adults over 50 years ago news? Joe Biden is openly disagreeing with his running mate's campaign stances, the president of a country known to support terrorism is addressing the UN this afternoon, the residents of Galveston have no homes, the hotel bombing in Pakistan is strongly suspected to have been engineered by Al Qaeda, and Congress is desperately coming to grips with how to keep the United States from falling into financial chaos, and asking themselves whether one man should be given total control over how our country's finances should be run.
Please examine your priorities.

WHO CAREs MOVE on slow news day for dnc I meant abc sorry.Hard to tell sometimes

Why do liberals care if McCain cheated on his 1st wife? I thought that kind of stuff can never get in the way of a person 'doing their job'. So suddenly now character counts to liberals?
Blah!
While I'm no fan of McCain, I'm no fan of Oblammo & this piece illustrates how far the media has gone into the toilet.
Please report on something that matters.
