WHOA! The 'c' word on WJ just now.

[trof]

A woman caller.
"Did you know that John McCain called his wife a cunt in..." click.
:rofl:

[malaise]

1. I nearly choked on my coffee

:rofl:

[gratuitous]

2. Apparently, WJ is well aware of this

But its news value has been dismissed of no moment.

[Echo In Light]

4. Just imagine the deluge of M$M OUTRAGE had Obama said something similar

[bdamomma]

3. wow, what was the reaction of the host or hostess.

[malaise]

9. Well he hung up the phone but had a big grin on his face

He sure was blushing.

[trof]

10. Real jaw dropper. He blanched.

[endarkenment]

5. Bless that woman. Let a thousand C-words bloom!

Every show that takes phone calls on mccain should have to deal with this.

[ColbertWatcher]

21. I agree! n/t

[dipsydoodle]

6. Only that ?

Thought you were going to say Condaleesa. :rofl:

BTW - it amuses me that the other 4 letter word second letter U is of course B*sh. How's that for coincidence.

[KharmaTrain]

7. And Someone Wants This Over The Air?????

I was rolling...the gridlock on Peter's face was hillarious...he wasn't sure if he heard what he heard and then what to do about it. :rofl:

Of course the caller didn't have the chance to explain what she meant, but I've heard almost every other word pop out on this show, this was a first. Way to go C-SPAN...a public cervix of your cable company. :rofl:

[ColbertWatcher]

22. LOL! Public cervix! LOL ! n/t

[derby378]

8. How did that get past the 7-second delay?

Geez. Hilarious, yeah, but someone needs to keep their finger on the button.

[trof]

11. You would think they have a delay.

But so many things like that get through that I wonder.

[Mike Nelson]

12. They should have asked...

Was that his first, or second wife?

[frogcycle]

13. Should we start saying that McCain

tends to be a little too cuntentious to be president?

[Ilsa]

14. That is wonderful! Love it! We should be using this one! nt

[Ian David]

15. If you actually SAY "The C-Word" that makes YOU the bad guy. HOWEVER...

If you could bring up the subject without actually uttering the word, you are no longer being "obscene."

BAD: "Is it true you've called your wife a c_nt?"

BETTER: "How long has it been since the last time you called your wife 'The C-Word'?"

BETTER: "Do you still think your wife plasters on the makeup like a trollop, and do you still call her 'The C-word'?"

BETTER: "Do you have any cute pet names for your wife, other than the "The C-word" that we already know about?"



Now, we also have to consider the possibility that McCain has compiled a list of prepared rebuttals incorporating various benign C-Words:


"Yes, I admit, I have called my wife CUTE."

"My friend, I'm not afraid to use 'The C-Word.' My wife, myself, and everyone else in this room is in fact PROUD to be a CONSERVATIVE."




Although I hope McCain slips-up and says something like, "My friends, we only have seven days to the election. I hope that me and Cindy SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY at the polls!"

[Ian David]

16. I don't think McCain is a REAL Cuntservative. If only one had access to his website...

... and a global find/replace on all the text...

Sigh.

17. If you google "the c-word," then the number two hit is:

The number one is the Wikipedia entry.

Cunt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cunt (IPA:/kʌnt/) is an English language vulgarism referring generally to the female genitalia.<1> The earliest citation of this usage in the Oxford English Dictionary, circa 1230, refers to the London street known as "Gropecunt Lane".

<snip>

Usage in modern popular culture

Politics

Presidential Candidate John McCain was heavily bashed by using this word to refer to his wife, Cindy McCain. He used the word during a word exchange with his wife. 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."<41> This led to John McCain being parodied as John McCunt in many internet site and blogs even in YouTube.
