McSame to wife: "At least I don't plaster on the make-up like a trollop,

[pnwmom]

you c--t!"

Another Rethug, giving us yet another example of how NOT to talk to women.

John McCain's temper is well documented. He's called opponents and colleagues "shitheads," "assholes" and in at least one case "a fucking jerk."...

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

1. 1992?

That's quite a long time ago isn't it?

And aren't his reprehensible positions on the war enough ammunition?

8. There is no reason to think he's reformed. Anyone who could talk to his wife

like that EVER is a nasty piece of work.

10. No, his positions on the war are NOT enough ammunition.

Many independent voters -- ones we need in November -- think he's the best one to handle the situation in Iraq, because he's the military guy.

This incident with Cindy happened in 1992, but it wasn't covered then, due to "squeamishness" among the MSM -- they weren't used to covering "naughty" language back then. But now it's coming out in a new book, called "The Real McCain." The book pose many questions about his temperament which are highly relevant to his campaign for the Presidency.

From the link at the OP:

SNIP

"McCain is well known for his rapport with the national media covering his presidential bid (he's jokingly referred to the press as "my base"), but Schecter said this incident was buried not out of fealty to the Arizona senator. Rather, it was uneasiness about how to get such a coarse exchange into a family newspaper, and he didn't fault the local press for not covering the incident.

"Members of the media are squeamish covering stuff like this so they let it go," Schecter told RAW STORY in an interview Monday. "Back in '92, when people use naughty words, don't know as much what to do with it."

16. We need to challenge that any military guy is better than a non-military guy.

He served from 1958-1981 of which 5 1/2 years as a POW.

His highest rank was Captain. Possibly the equivalent of a Colonel in the other branches.

During 1967 he was shot down on his 23rd mission in Vietnam and then was a POW for 5 1/2 years.

What did McCain do from 1958 to 1967 the time he was sent to Vietnam?

What did McCain do from 1973 to his retirement in 1981?

What in all of that experience makes him the best candidate compared to any non-military candidate?

[pnwmom]

26. And there is a excellent argument to be made that the Commander-in-Chief

position is best left to a non-military person. Too much entrenchment in the military system, too much dogged loyalty to the military's goals, will not help a President to envision other, non-military options.

45. Look at what we got with an Embicile-in-Chief that everyone

believed was a military guy.

They should ask themselves... do they want another military guy to make the decisions on whether to go to war or try for the best solution?

[JerseygirlCT]

19. I think this helps dispel the notion that he's somehow a good

guy who just got a bit off track on the war, but is otherwise a moderate, sane man.

Anyone who'd treat his wife like that is someone you'd have to suspect of harboring a really dangerous lack of self-control. With anger management skills like that, do we want this guy's finger on the button?

[pnwmom]

28. I was happy to read that a new book, "The Real McCain" will be

exploring such an important topic.

[JerseygirlCT]

46. That's good news, for sure! nt

[blondeatlast]

25. His temper is legend among Arizona media. I know a cameraman who says

the reporters and producers/camera people draw straws because no one wants to cover him.

And yes, I think temperament has everything to do with how he'll perform as president. If he speaks that way to the wife who made him what he is, how will he handle REAL people?

[stevedeshazer]

40. WTF? It wasn't okay to call your wife that name in 1992, either.

What the hell?

[bryant69]

47. I didn't say it was n't

[zanne]

2. Holy crap.

Those two deserve each other.

[niyad]

3. the drug-addicted trophy wife HE chose? and he talks to her like this in public?

makes me wonder what goes on behind closed doors--abuse, perhaps?

I cannot stand the man, and thought he could sink no lower in my estimation. I was wrong. of course, my question is, WHY is that twit staying with him?

[babylonsister]

4. Public, private, it's disgusting however you slice it. I'd be long gone

with a husband who disrespected me like that. And I don't care how tired he was.

[LeftyMom]

17. iirc, she's not a trophy wife, she's the one with the money.

Since 1992 was probably well before her stint in rehab, maybe she was sticking around because being the wife of a senator kept her free of prosecution for her pill habit?

6. Trollop?

Don't hear that one often.

Is that like a Troll's OP?

[kenny blankenship]

12. An Elizabethan term. Usually he calls her a 'split arse medlar'

He is a child of his own time after all, like the rest of us.

7. Cindy responded: "That's it - I'm cutting off your beer, -

- the whole fucking distributorship".

:rofl:

[dogday]

9. What an asshole...

eom....

[woodsprite]

11. One more way that he's exactly like Bush. n/t

[seabeyond]

13. its their foreplay. she goes after his ego with hair comment. i would NEVER

so that to hubby, even in private. then he goes after her, with filth, then they meet back in the room and go at it

neither one are impressive in behavior.

[pnwmom]

29. You're right. She was needling him, and in public.

But his explosion was quite telling.

We don't need a President who responds that way to needling.

[blondeatlast]

33. It's a scary example of someone who lacks self-control under pressure.

I've seen her touch him several times on camera, always gently and on the shoulder or back.

His response to this incident should send shivers down the spine of anyone who can see him answering the phone at the famous "3 AM." :scared:

[pnwmom]

34. I'm glad this book is coming out before the election. I hope it gets

the attention it deserves.

[blondeatlast]

44. Nice that it's a trade paperback so priced well. I'm so ready--

I've pre-ordered from Powell's (comes out May 1)!

14. Ya know, the Repubs are attracted to their women because

of the makeup, big hair and tight clothes, but when they marry them, they want to change them into Miss Gooch out in public. I've seen it happen too many times. It makes me wonder why Laura Bush and her mother-in-law Barbara Bush are such frumps.

[ginnyinWI]

15. well now that's pretty low rent for a Senator.

Even a Republican one. This was me when I read it: :wow:

[pnwmom]

30. This was me when I read it:

:puke:

[JerseygirlCT]

18. Oh lovely. Such a gentleman.

Blech.

[Jane Austin]

20. McSame or . . .

McC-word!?

[mitchum]

21. He can never tell the truth; he didn't call her a VINDICTIVE, THIEVING PILL HEAD

[Raejeanowl]

22. Now, Do You Really Believe That?

If your husband said that to you-or you said that to your wife-in public, that you would still be married to this same person 15+ years later? Especially if you could so easily become independent of each other?

[blondeatlast]

27. His temper is legend among AZ media. They want to keep their jobs, so they stay anonymous.

But from what I've heard from friends in local news, that's just ONE example.

I believe it after 25 years of observing him and knowing media people here.

[pnwmom]

31. Of course I believe it. If you read the rest of the article, the incident

was well known to the media -- they just didn't cover it because they were "squeamish" about publishing naughty words back then.

Who knows what Cindy's reason is for staying married to him. Lots of hateful couples stay together. Maybe she likes the idea of being First Lady.

[Baby Snooks]

23. Private lives...

I am sure the Clintons have had some nice little "dinner conversations" through the years as most married couples have.

Those who've encountered the McCains socially through the years would probably call them the typical American couple. Rough edges and all.

My concern really is his temper may erupt at the wrong moment and he may "push the button" and send us all into oblivion on one of his "bad days" although who's to say Hillary might not do the same after one of the 3 am phone calls about Bill. Which only a fool doesn't believe she doesn't still get. He is, according to some, still quite the "ladies man" as Hillary seems content to dismiss it all on the basis of. He's just a ladies man. He was abused so he's allowed. Poor baby.

Of the three candidates, Obama seems to be the only one who seems able to keep a cool head. And thanks to the world situation the Bushes have created for us it really is important to have someone who seems able to keep a cool head. And hotheads usually are not cool heads.

No doubt when Hillary drops dead the "tell-all" books will begin to hit the bookstores. Until then, well, suffice it to say most are intimidated by both the Clintons. His outburst about Bill Richardson is pretty much what you get with the Clintons although usually the outbursts are not so public. And most who've worked with them and around them are afraid of being on the receiving end of the outbursts. Which probably explains why Al Gore passed on challenging her. He knew better.

[pnwmom]

32. Interesting that you would use this moment to attack the Clintons.

And you go on to say the McCain's are a "typical American couple." Who are you kidding? A Senator with a nasty, ferocious temper and a wife with a history of drug problems and a giant fortune. This is typical?

I don't know about you and your friends, but I don't think calling a wife a "c--t" is something most husbands would do. I have never heard that word out of my husband's mouth, or my sons, father's, or brother's. Or out of the mouths of any of my friends.

[blondeatlast]

41. It happened in public, in front of press (I've heard about it for years,

never saw it published, tho).

I personally know a reporter who claimed to have witnessed it (he never mentioned Mccain--but he did say a prominent DC politico from AZ rumored to have a hot temper).

This isn't about US. Take your sorry speculation to GD/P, thanks.

[Skittles]

42. you really are sickening n/t

[ecstatic]

24. that was really nasty and uncalled for

He's trying his best to hide his true nature. Someone needs to have the cameras rolling the next time he explodes.

[onethatcares]

35. wow, nothing trumps the "c" word, nothing.

I would not be able to sleep in the same time zone with my sweetie if I ever called her that.

[pnwmom]

36. I can't imagine being married to a man who had that word

in his (expressive) vocabulary.

You are right -- nothing trumps that word. It's equivalent to the N word, in my opinion.

[calimary]

37. No kidding! My husband has never called me anything remotely like that.

And we've certainly had our fights.

[Bucky]

38. I think this is what Republicans call "foreplay."

I don't question what makes their marriage work. I only question what gets our soldiers killed needlessly.

[Xenotime]

48. McPain is so full of shit.

[ellie]

49. Good lord!

I have no other words.

[hisownpetard]

50. Anyone who could say that to his wife is not meant to be President. I mean,

doesn't he know that the word "trollop" went out of fashion along with corsets, powdered wigs
and chastity belts?

[npincus]

51. he's an abusive asshole. She doesn't need to take that shit from the old geezer.

[riderinthestorm]

52. Look, at least he did not call her a brazen strumpet

You all are going wayyy overboard here in your faux outrage! I mean, there are so many other things he could have called her that are way worse and would really show how much he values women, especially those he really loves like his wife!



:sarcasm:

[jmowreader]

53. Inquiring minds want to know...

just how much makeup DOES John McCain wear? I know it's a lot.

[lonestarnot]

54. Well maybe you should biatch! RELEASE YOUR MED RECS YOU FREAK!
