Wow, shocking meltdown after McCain joked that he needed hair transplants.

[Wetzelbill]

When he went and sat back down after making his point, he muttered under his breath to himself and within earshot of several reporters: "Yeah but at least I don't plaster on the makeup like a fucking trollop, you cunt."

Well, at least, the man is consistent.

1. Link?

[Lerkfish]

2. what? is this a joke?

[Wetzelbill]

4. yes, you know because he once said it to his wife when she

said his hair was thinning out on top.

[Lerkfish]

5. ok, it just seemed a bit off, as if you were relating something real

inflection is so hard to communicate on the internet

[Cha]

10. You just read that in Rolling Stone.

So did I..for bedtime reading after the Debate, last night.

Finally found out why mccain felt it necessary to call his wife a ---- in public.

Edit~ he didn't like be teased about his purty hair:cry:

[Wetzelbill]

12. you know I haven't gotten to that

in the RS article yet. I read it in Cliff Schecter's book last spring, and I am rewatching the debate right now and it just struck me as funny when he made that joke, lol.

[Cha]

14. Oh really! I didn't watch the debate..

maybe that was his little mea culpa to cindy:(

The Rolling Stone does a great service to America in its latest issue.."The Make Believe Maverick", "The Return of Karl Rove", and "How Dumb is Cable News" or "How to Survive Cable News".

3. Ha! Some people aren't getting it--they must have forgotten the backstory.

[JuniperLea]

7. Um... no... we remember just fine...

But we also know that McCain is just stupid enough to do this again.

[Wetzelbill]

8. haha

You know, it might be plausible that he would say that to himself now that you mention it.

[JuniperLea]

17. If he welcomes fellow prisoners...

He's liable to say just about anything! Poor old sod is three biscuits short of a tin!

[Wetzelbill]

19. yeah he's got some troubles

Stay tuned for tomorrow's rally, when McCain yells at a cloud.

[bunnies]

6. I cant believe there are DUers who still dont know this little tidbit.

:rofl: Every single time its posted people are shocked. Too funny.

and on edit: what she actually said was "getting a little thin up there". Poor Cindy. hehehe

[Wetzelbill]

9. yeah but I was saying that he said it too himself

lol. After he joked about hair transplants last night. A joke that completely bombed, too, lol.

[KansDem]

11. So what did Brokaw say?

"It takes one to know one!"

"I'm am ****, you are glue, whatever comes out of me sticks onto you!"

"I know what I am, but what are you?!"

"I'm telling!"

[rucky]

13. He has the sense of humor of a country club father-in-law.

15. Link (Raw Story)

(snip)

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 c*nt." McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.


Edited to replace "u" with * in the c word.

16. That was a cheap shot at Biden. Mind you, Biden had hair

implants for a MEDICAL reason. John McCain is a sick man.

[Wetzelbill]

18. Really? I didn't know that

That's sick of him to say that. Wow.
