Digg’s Overblown Response To McCain’s Divorce

Digg is linking to a DailyMail article about McCain’s divorce. They emphasize that he ostensibly divorced her because she was in a car accident that left her overweight and with a limp. He divorced her for a younger prettier women. So what? Divorce exists to allow people who don’t want to be married anymore to stop being married. Did he divorce for bad reasons? Maybe, it was years after he returned to his wife, so it’s hard to tell. Is he superficial? Seems like. Would I do that to the woman I loved? I doubt it. But are any of those attacks on his policies and what his plans are to improve America? Not in the least. There are so many real issues where McCain is vastly inferior to his opponents, that sinking to this level and attacking him because he got a divorce is really unnecessary.
