McCain Drops the C-Bomb on the C-Bomb He Married
All the political world is abuzz today with allegations in a new book that 16 years ago John McCain called his wife a word that every man in the world should know better than to ever, ever, ever call a woman in his life…
John McCain's temper is well documented. He's called opponents and colleagues "shitheads," "assholes" and in at least one case "a fucking jerk." But a new book on the presumptive Republican nominee will air perhaps the most shocking angry exchange to date:
Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain's intemperateness. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett.
At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." McCain's face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you [word that starts with 'c', rhymes with 'hunt', is interchangeable with 'Michelle Malkin', and somehow doesn't sound as bad when said by an Englishman]." McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day.
I can empathize with McCain. I've had long days like that.
Once, I was having a really long day — man, that day must have been, like, four miles long — and I called my girlfriend that word. I woke up about seven hours later in the hospital.
Turned out she was having a longer day.

If the story was true, which from what I can see is not because the "anonymous sources" are not vetted…nor is the story an actual story, following in the vein of the NYT one about McCain and the lobbyist.
You, Cubby, should shoot yourself.
Anybody check out this Cliff Schecter guy? Guy's a total tinfoil hat!

He's a blogger for HuffPo and now Brave New World films, which is basically filling in for Goebbel's old Reichministry of Information.
I'll believe the New York Times before I believe anything Schecter says, and that ain't a compliment to Pinchy!
If the "C-word" is so shocking and demeaning that usage of it reflects poorly on John McCain, why on earth would you apply it to Michelle Malkin?
I'll tell you. It's because you're a punk.
"[word that starts with 'c', rhymes with 'hunt', is interchangeable with 'Michelle Malkin', and somehow doesn't sound as bad when said by an Englishman]."
Now there is the height of political discourse there. Does it make a measured reasonable response if I say that attitude really makes you sound like a [word that starts with 'c', and rhymes with 'clock' and is interchangeable with CubbyChaser] gobbler?
Since when is Indecision 2008 engaging in "heightened political discourse? I must've missed the memo. I'll stop visiting this site right away.
You shouldn't lie. You've never had a girlfriend.
We know McCain has never treated his wife so shabbily, he's still alive.
so now people cannot talk to each other without it being public knowledge?
"rhymes with 'hunt', is interchangeable with 'Michelle Malkin',"
Ah, the charms of left-wingers.
WOW! You conservative types are a pretty sensitive bunch, don't you think??? Not one of you cried foul when Hillary was reportedly called the "B" word by gingrich as reported by his Mom in an interview with Connie Chung…no, you had the journalist's career ended instead; but suddenly you have a vice-presidential candidate who speaks and acts a little like "Mrs. Poole" from the 80s TV show Valerie and you defend her like rabid dogs against all attacks of character as somehow being "sexist!" Come on…if your candidate made an undeniably sexist and demeaning remark (about his own WIFE no less,) own up to it. Don't criticize people for wanting to know the quality of a man's calm and demeanor after a long day…if he were the Pres. someday, he might have a lot of long days after which he has to still make calm and measured decisions affecting the fate of a nation!!! I get sick of the conservative double standards (Bill is harassed about trying a joint in college but W. can have a long and documented coke habit that no one is allowed to ask about???) Let's drop the crap and get down to the real issues…have you informed your vice-presidential candidate of what the Bush doctrine is yet???
I really can't picture McCain using a word like "trollop…" he can't even see Russia from his house.. or the other 6.. or is it 7?
