isn't that sweet

I could spew for hours about that hideously jingoistic placement interview the presidential candidates submitted to with the unctuous Rick Warren yesterday, but for the moment I'll just point out how very principled John McCain demonstrated himself to be.

He carefully explained that in his opinion, marriage is "the union of one man and one woman."

He seems to have omitted the rest of his feelings about that definition, so permit me to finish his thought. Marriage is the union of one man and one woman - until a younger, wealthier, and healthier woman comes along and provides you with the opportunity to trade up, in which case you shack up with her while you are in the process of unceremoniously dumping your grieviously injured existing wife, the one who unconditionally supported you during your own greatest life challenges.

I hope this helps clarify his principled position.
