Sen. McCain scored big points when he admitted leading a "very imperfect" life and talked contritely about the failure of his first marriage. It's probably too late for Sen. Obama to have an extramarital affair, confess it and win redemption in time for Election Day. He should have taken care of this years ago and come into the race fully prepared to be commander in chief.

Anyway, John Edwards has poisoned the waters of public tolerance for philandering, at least for now.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did John McCain say his first marriage failed because he cheated on his wife? If so, I missed it.

No, McCain didn’t say that.

McCain’s answer to the question on his own failings was

“My greatest moral failing, and I have been a very imperfect person, is the failure of my first marriage,” he said.

I think Warren’s question was something like, what do you consider your greatest moral failing? To which JSM said, the failure of his first marriage.

Figure it out. I saw his face and the way he answered, and I think he was being honest. BHO’s answer? Blase, safe and superficial, like all the rest of his responses.
