McCain Yells..."Cindy, you C***"

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.

I think McBush maybe dealing with PTSD. Do we really want a president who can't deal rationally and explodes into tirades of anger? Keep in mind that McCain will not release his medical records....what's he hidoing?

A new book on the presumptive Republican nominee will air perhaps the most shocking angry exchange to date.

The Real McCain by Cliff Schecter, which will arrive in bookstores next month, reports an angry exchange between McCain and his wife that happened in full view of aides and reporters during a 1992 campaign stop.

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**t." McCain’s excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.

The man who was known as "McNasty" in high school has erupted in foul-languaged tirades at political foes and congressional colleagues more-or-less throughout his career, and his quickness to anger has been an issue on the presidential campaign trail as evidence of his fury has surfaced.

As Schecter notes, McCain's rage is not limited to the political spectrum, and even his family cannot be spared the brute force of his anger.

Schecter, who also blogs at The Agonist, said in an interview the anecdote is "an early example of his uncontrollable temper." In the book he outlines several other examples of McCain losing his cool and raises the question of how that would affect a McCain presidency.

1. well, she does plaster on makeup like a trollope ... and

she did go after a married man 20 years her senior. and she did get the head of her foundation fired because he wouldn't cover for her junkie habits anymore. so, though it's a pretty disrespectful term, the "c*nt" part might be on the money, too.

[Extend a Hand]

11. I'm sure that your opinion

excuses verbal abuse by the man that married her.

:puke:

[calimary]

12. And she does dress - um - a little - uh - well, let me just say that I think

she's a little old to be wearing those skin-tight leather jackets (and she has them in several colors, also). It's easier to be a Leather-Babe when you're in a rock 'n' roll world or you're Hollywood hottie's agent or you're an artist or producer or in the design world or something. But in a staid old forum like politics, married to the oldest candidate on record, um - seems to me a LITTLE decorum is advisable. OF COURSE you should look stylish and elegant. But I think tight leather clothing is inappropriate in this case. Certainly she keeps herself fit, and well-turned-out, she's into fashion, and she has to look good on his arm 'cause they're out in public and there are important impressions to be made. STILL, it's very inappropriate, even if she does have the figure for it.

I don't want a Leather-Babe as First Lady, thank you very much. If I did, I'd vote for Pat Benatar or Fergie or Pamela Anderson or Heather Locklear or somebody.

[Matariki]

42. Oh. Yawn.

Clutch your pearls, church lady. Times just aren't the way they used to be.

[Patchuli]

68. Yay! President Fergie!!!

:toast:

[Mind_your_head]

70. Calimary, I love ya.....

If it weren't for you posting those 800 numbers to call Congress again and again and again....I never would have done it....But I have done it and will continue to do so.

But I think you're barking up the wrong tree with this one. There are plenty of reasons to not support McCain to be be our next pres, but his wife's choice of dress is not one of them.

Perhaps Mrs. McCain has read, "When I am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple"

20. Are you defending McCain or just attacking his wife?

:shrug:

[roguevalley]

30. the focus needs to be on him. What a terrible man he is to humiliate

her like that.

[klyon]

44. I think she hurts his image.

Old guys with younger women always looks odd. When the old star gets the young starlet in the movies, it always suspends belief.

[jobycom]

46. Does Kucinich get a pass on that?

[colonel odis]

47. definitely not defending mccain. i can't stand him or his wife.

and to call his wife a word like that in public (or anywhere else, for that matter) shows what a low-rent s.o.b. he is.

i find them both despicable.

[Pacifist Patriot]

31. The sound you hear may very well be the point sailing over your head.

Despite my personal opinion of his wife, I find speaking to another human being, particularly a spouse, in that manner to be disturbing. Certainly not the type of person I'd like representing my country as its Chief Executive. I've long been concerned about his temper. I hope this book will open other eyes. He is hardly the mild-mannered centrist he's usually portrayed as in the corporate media.

Edited to fix an annoying grammatical error.

[colonel odis]

49. um, i think your post pointed out that it went roaring over yours. lol

[Pacifist Patriot]

51. In what way?

[elehhhhna]

38. Anthony Trollope, perhaps?

[colonel odis]

48. my mistake. no "e" in cindy mccain.

[undeterred]

57. You are in the wrong political party.

Anyone who condones that word in any context hates women and is morally sick.

[sam sarrha]

2. hopefully comming to YouTube soon

[stellanoir]

3. Tiredness and sleep deprivation

can contribute to and excuse verbal abuse as well grossly embellished total fabrications now?

Sure okay fine.

I'll remember that when I'm pulling all nighters in a couple months.

[Supersedeas]

65. remember, it is Repig logic

[patrice]

4. HOW do we get people to understand that even IF he does "control" himself,

even IF there are no more incidents of abuse - ever, there are STILL definite effects from the suppression or oppression of such a personality type. We are also talking about an ORGANIC situation here, inside this person, not some fungible quality mitigated by a smart ad campaign.

[havocmom]

5. Maybe it's just foreplay

Abusive people (both of them, it seems) can sometimes have strange tastes.

[TheWraith]

14. Ack. I did NOT need that image! nt

[havocmom]

23. LOL America needs that image! Perhaps it will lower his vote count

if people think about being screwed by him. :evilgrin:

[saracat]

6. What astupid story!

[Supersedeas]

64. has the story been confirmed?

[FyurFly]

7. I'm sure Hillary called Bill words that bad or worse

[Pacifist Patriot]

32. And how would you be so sure?

That seems like an awfully silly statement to say about anyone you do not know personally. Speculate all you want. Say you wouldn't blame her if she did. But to say you're sure just looks bizarre.

[ljm2002]

33. Please, do tell us...

...what reports you have read to that effect? Or is it just your "gut"?

[LanternWaste]

43. And I'm sure many DU posters have done the same (or worse).

And I'm sure many DU posters have done the same (or worse).

[DCKit]

52. I'm sure.....

Back in the days of Monica, I heard Hillary said the following (and totally understandably):

"You STUPID son of a bitch!"

[baldguy]

8. I don't think it's PTSD - he's just an asshole.

[lutefisk]

21. That's the impression I get from reading his bio...n/t

[UTUSN]

9. The o.p.'s link is the SECOND source for calling him McNASTY

For the past 8 years it's been easy calling Shrub Shrub and Tweety Tweety, but until now McNASTY hasn't rated the significance of being nicknamed.

But in the link below comes "McNASTY," which has an organic derivation, just as "Tweety" came from Tweety's own staff, as relayed to the defunct website Media Whores Online in 2000. In the link below, it is said that D.C. insiders call McNASTY this.

.... He torpedoed claims that his father has a volcanic temper, a reputation that's earned the former Vietnam POW the nickname "McNasty" among Washington politicos. "It cracks me up when I hear about this crazy temper because I've lived with him for almost 22 years and I've never seen it," Jack said, although he admitted, "If I screwed up, I'd know it."

Asked about his father reportedly telling another senator "(bleep) you" in a debate over an immigration bill, Jack said, "He probably deserved it . . . (My dad) isn't a bland politician. He's candid." Jack also shot down assertions that John, 71, is too old to be commander-in-chief, noting they hiked 30 miles together across the Grand Canyon last summer.

[DS1]

10. ahahahahaha!

I'd have laughed my ass off if I saw anyone say that as a remark about losing hair. Then enjoyed the beatdown most men would get

[CADEMOCRAT7]

13. PTSD

how could he "not" suffer from PTSD after what he went through.

[TheWraith]

15. I don't believe this.

I don't think McCain is erudite enough to properly use the word "trollop" in an insult.

[FourScore]

35. lol. By Joe, I think you've hit the nail on the head!

I knew something didn't smell right about this post. But ignoring my better instincts I posted it anyway.

[liberal1973]

16. lol..

Well come now McBush is a great guy :spray:. I mean he cooks, cleans, he picks up his neighbor's trash, delivers the newspaper on Sundays, and he played for the almost undeafed Patriots. :rofl:

[annabanana]

17. "in full view of aides and reporters "

And yet they all seem to be so damn eager for BBQ that no one mentioned it. . .

[NewJeffCT]

26. George W. Bush on what he discussed with his father: "Pussy"

said to a reporter at the Hartford Courant.

Yet, how often did that make it into the news?

[Iwasthere]

18. It is unfortunate that the press will sweep this under this under the rug

Just like they swept all the articles about * gleefully blowing up frogs by sticking firecrackers inside of them as a kid. These are important personality traits that we all should know to make wise decisions.

[Supersedeas]

61. but the man is accessible

[TooBigaTent]

19. They deserve each other. We deserve neither. nt

[RB TexLa]

22. So if I run for something, there'll be a book saying I call my wife a "fucking proddy"?

Among the thousand things she calls me and the rest of what I call her between ourselves?

[Fleshdancer]

27. If you said it to her in anger while on the campaign trail? yes.

but if you keep it between yourselves like normal people, then no.

[last_texas_dem]

60. Just out of curiosity, what's a "proddy"?

I looked it up on urban dictionary and there were an assortment of definitions.

[RB TexLa]

63. A term for protestants

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

24. Ironically, Republicans chided Truman for his salty language

and I don't think he ever used the "f" or the "c" word. He used words like "hell" and "s.o.b." But my grandparents, all of whom were Republicans, expressed dismay for his use of language as well as his political philosophy. I suspect they would all be spinning in their graves if they knew about McCain and the current GOP. BTW, my mother, the only parent still living, is planning to vote Democratic this fall, even though she is a registered Republican. Her children and grandchildren, btw, all know better and vote Democratic.

[yurbud]

25. kick

[Ian_rd]

28. And just like that ... McCain secures the Republican base

:rofl:

[Supersedeas]

29. wonder if FOX news can put any makeup to polish this classless Repig

[Iris]

34. An overeaction, I guess. But why would she think it's appropriate to "playfully [twirl] McCain's

hair" and then comment on how bald he's becoming?

[FredScuttle]

36. Some don't appreciate teasing, especially in front of others

I know my girlfriend doesn't. But there is no reason or justification to use that classless, disgusting term anytime, anywhere. McCain is a pig.

[Aristus]

37. Boy! McCain IS touchy. What well-adjusted balding men (like me) say when

someone comments that our hair is thinning (not many people do; maybe I'm acquainted only with polite, thoughtful people) is: "So who wants fat hair?"

Guy's got NO sense of humor; he's just like B*sh in that regard: Incapable of laughing at themselves, they find "humor" only in laughing at others.

[Disturbed]

41. Urban Dictionary: trollop

Urban Dictionary: trollop
trollop slut whore tramp strumpet ho prostitute skank bitch harlot tart floozy hussy bimbo cunt hooker slapper wench call girl gilmore harlet ho-bag hustler ...

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=trollop

Isn't this a 1940s term?

McLame is a hypocritical Asshole.

[Blackhatjack]

39. Somebody keep Cindy away from McCain when He has his finger on the nuclear button...

Sounds like someone does not always eat all their wheaties, and wake up on the right side of the bed.

[Mad_Dem_X]

40. What an a**hole!

Any man who uses that word gets on my Shit List (well, he was anyway). That is the one word I absolutely cannot STAND, especially when a man says it!

[lonestarnot]

45. No surprise there. And the drug addict puts up with that crap with a smile.

[cureautismnow]

50. Just imagine what he called his first wife. n/t

[KillCapitalism]

53. You know what's sad?

While we revile these comments, the freepers are probably in glee and thinking "He really knows how to keep women in their place, so he'll make a great president!"

[noamnety]

54. What's even sadder

us that a fair amount of DUers aren't denouncing them either, but rather using them as an excuse to eagerly join in on their favorite pastime.

[DS1]

58. Does everyone have to line up an denounce them?

Perhaps you have some template text we can cut and paste in the reply box

[Shakespeare]

66. You have to reject AND denounce.

Get it right, damn it! ;-)

[Flying Dream Blues]

69. good debate reference! :) nt

[Perry Logan]

55. This story hurts the enemy. We should repeat it constantly.

[npincus]

56. this one is TOXIC for McCain... hope it goes viral on the Internets

[SavageDem]

59. I agree with you, npincus

We can only hope for widespread dissemination of this story, as well as all the other info coming out about his anger management (or lack thereof), lack of knowledge of foreign policy, warmongering and disregard for human life ("Bomb, bomb Iran..."), lack of consistency on issues, etc.

All the drivel in this thread about Cindy somehow being responsible because of her words is akin to people who blame rape victims because of the way they dress. It doesn't matter WHAT she said; his response is vicious, derogatory, hurtful, demeaning, misanthropic, and childish. It clearly demonstrates the type of person he is. There ARE no excuses for it.

[MilesColtrane]

62. Trollop?

McCain, thou art a grizzled shag-eared rudesby, and a pribbling full-gorged clotpole!

[seabeyond]

67. he is 105... what do you expect, lol n/t
