Alcohol industry ties may test McCain - The Boston Globe
John McCain has benefited from the Hensley business from the beginning of his relationship with the former Cindy Lou Hensley. The two met in 1979 at a party in Hawaii at a time when McCain was still married to his first wife, Carol. McCain divorced Carol and married Cindy in May 1980.
McCain soon moved to his new wife's hometown of Phoenix. McCain was promptly hired as vice president of public relations at Hensley & Co., giving him a platform not just to tout beer, but also himself. He traveled around the state in what became a warm-up for launching his political career.
Hey mom if its good enough for the President and his family why not me. Just think of the business opportunities this will inspire young people to! Beer distribution.
What was the gaffe he made about beer? Was it a gaffe or a flashback. Was it something about vetoing beer?
