::Reasonable explanation.  But how about the fact that in his book he states that he had separated from his former wife before beginning to date his current wife, when according to the court petition he filed, he "cohabited" with his former wife until 1/7/80---nine months AFTER he started dating his current wife?  --[[User:Jareddr|Jareddr]] 14:41, 14 July 2008 (EDT)

:::I think you may be misunderstanding part of the goal of our site.  Over a year ago a new user added information to the Hillary Clinton article that although they resided in the same state and were married, Bill and Hillary Clinton lived apart.  That was easily verifiable and not open to interpretation.  It was reverted by a Sysop because the site is not about gossip; it's about pertinent information about those aspects that make the person famous and noteworthy.  So direct scandals such as Pauls Jones and Monica Lewinsky are worthy of mention, but there current living situation serves no purpose.  That new user was me, and I have tried to adhere to the standards set ever since - and still try to adhere to those standards now that I am a Sysop.  John McCain has admitted to failures in his first marriage and failures at that time in his life.  It's simply not a place that we go.

:::BTW you may also find that legal documents often have different meanings than common usage.  Most of the time he didn't "cohabitate" with his wife at all because he was a senator in Washington, although he would still be considered to be cohabitating because that was his legal residence.  Insinuation is not always the same as reality, and in this case it could be difficult to separate the two.
