Everyone knows that John McCain left Carol McCain, his first wife, to marry Cindy Lou Who McCain.  It’s also common knowledge that Cindy was not the only woman with whom he slept while still married to Carol.  I’ve always found it surprising that none of those old girlfriends has shown up on the radar screen.  I mean if Billy-boy can have bimbo eruptions, why not McCain?

Well, that’s finally happened.  A woman who was a twenty-year-old (and still single) McCain’s, uh, ahem, conquest lover has come forward.

Via The Telegraph (UK):

A Brazilian former model and ballerina has described her week-long affair with John McCain when he docked in Rio de Janeiro as a young sailor in 1957. Maria Gracinda Teixeira, 77, described the Republican presidential nominee as romantic and a “good kisser”.

In a 1999 autobiography, Faith of My Fathers, Mr McCain fondly related his whirlwind passion for the beautiful Brazilian, but did not reveal her name.  “We danced on the terrace overlooking the bay until 1 am, when I felt her cheek was moist,” he wrote. “‘What’s the matter?’ I asked. ‘I’ll never see you again,’ she replied.” . . .

Awww. How sweet.  Abandonment of a woman willing to sleep with you back in the free and easy fifties is so romantic.  Funny how he doesn’t mention the fact he spent a week, um, dancing horizontally with her.

One piece of advice to Ms. Teixeira:  hide.  I have a feeling that Cindy Lou Who is putting a contract out on you right now.

Here’s my favorite part:

Ms Teixeira was the runner up in a beauty pageant and aged 25.

Ah — that explains things.  Now we know why he picked Sarah Palin:  nostalgia.  And you know, if you squint, Anchorage kinda sorta almost doesn’t really look like Rio.
