[Mass]

I had read a few of those, but it is clear that being subtle is not one of McCain's qualities/

1. McCain claims he's converting to Judaism
At a farewell party for former Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) hosted by Israel's ambassador to the U.S., McCain said he had spent so much time with his Senate buddy that he had decided to convert to Judaism. "I had to put up all the years with the bullshit of religion, I might as well convert," he said, to roars of laughter. He continued, in some strange mash-up of Andrew Dice Clay and Jerry Seinfeld, "Why in every fucking kosher meal do we have to have salmon?" McCain also recalled waking up on a plane to see Lieberman wrapped in a Jewish prayer shawl. "I see this guy wrapped in a shawl," McCain said, "I thought maybe I died."

2. McCain takes on seniors
In his first presidential run in 2000, McCain was hounded by a couple of old-folks jokes that many found offensive. He referred to "Leisure World," a home for senior citizens, as "Seizure World," and also once cracked wise about Alzheimer's disease, saying, "The nice thing about Alzheimer's is you get to hide your own Easter eggs." McCain said he regretted both jokes, though he later reprised the Alzheimer's crack during the 2008 campaign, this time at his own expense.

3. McCain reinterprets The Beach Boys
In one of the more controversial moments of the 2008 race, McCain kidded (we think) about bombing Iran, to the tune of The Beach Boys' classic "Barbara Anna": "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran." The audience he was speaking to loved it, but some liberals were outraged.

4. McCain slams a young Chelsea Clinton
In 1998, speaking at a Republican fundraiser, McCain told one of the most infamous jokes of his career. "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?" he asked. "Because her father is Janet Reno." McCain later apologized for his remark, saying it was "insensitive and stupid and cruel."

5. McCain allegedly makes fun of rape victims
The all-time worst. The Tucson Citizen in 1986 reported that McCain, then a congressman running for Senate, had once told an audience this "joke" about rape victims: "Did you hear the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly and left to die? When she finally regains consciousness and tries to speak, her doctor leans over to hear her sigh contently and to feebly ask, 'Where is that marvelous ape?'" McCain responded that he didn't "recall" making the joke.

1. I really think the man suffers an illness.

There is no explanation for all his bizarre antics unless there is something seriously wrong with him.
