John McCain seems too old and tired to be angry. The most he can manage is a sort of mellow rage fueled by how impotent he is to stop the world from changing around him.
Maybe it's some sorta creepy republican foreplay. He calls her a c*** in public and a trollop, and then she goes home and puts him in high heels and red lacy panties and garters and makes fun of him for having one testicle and shits on his head or something. You know. THe way republicans usually have sex.
We shouldn't use their creepy republican sex games against them. Leave these friendly kinky folks alone. I think Cunt is OK in a sexual context if the woman being called it consents in the context of sexual role play or trying to reclaim the word.
John McCain, pervert or verbally abusive husband?
I use this as an example of what I like to call the Republican White Male Reality when debating the relative merits of the candidates. The RWMR demands that women revert to some idealized "golden past" usually seen in old TV shows when, supposedly, women "knew their place."
I'd love to see Ann Coulter's date try it out on her - it might actually open her eyes a bit (provided, of course, that she actually is female).
That's all you really need to know about what he thinks about women. If he can call his wife that in public with no restraint, no sense of embarrassment, what does he think about women who aren't his wife or daughter?
That wasn't playful, but mean. And under the stresses of the Presidency and a General Election campaign, he'll get meaner and more annoyed at everyone as the stress builds. Before you know it he will have his own "Macaca" moment for sure. Contrast that to the cool customer Barack with his poise and clear love for his wife.
Obama by ten.
My wife would still be kicking my ass
Ive been pointing this out for months now....im glade to see that its sudenly news...but why is it news?
look at who McCain marries (beuty pagent winners, herises) and then hwo he treats his trophy wives....clear pattern here of jsut how much he respects them.
Those Arizona reporters have got the real scoop on McCain. What else is there we haven't heard about or hasn't gone national?
i've gleefully steered a number of folks to this well documented, and undenied story. actually the lack of denial part is interesting, mcCain has denied saying things that they have handy videotape of him saying.
i love that your daughter and her friends have a word that they use among themselves but will totally kick the ass of any outsider using. that's important stuff.
on the rez we use "indin" with the purposful mispronouncing. when we use it we're taking ownership of that whole lumping and misconceptualization of who we are. when the belaangaana use it we totally go tribal. it's ours.
Never mind the C-word, where did "trollop" come from?
Is he a secret Harlequin reader? This could kill him with the VFW crowd.
I recall reading on reddit.com that a great many Senators who have been in the Senate for more than two terms have a substantial collection of "McCain Letters", or apology letters that John McCain had to write to them because he went off on them in some red-faced, profanity-laden tirade because he can't control that infamous temper of his.
You're in good company in deciding that news can require relaxing the rules. Remember when the Soviet old guard tried to turn back the clock with a coup against Gorbachev? They sent some KGB goons to his dacha in the country to offer him a quiet exit into internal exile, and his reply was, "Fuck off!!"
Not your usual newspaper language, but it's what a world leader said at a crisis moment in history. So it was published that way, without asterisks, in the New York Fucking Times.
Oh, and fuck McCain. The prick.
I loved the video. It may be important that we repeat this story enough that people do associate McCaint with the word.
It's not just that she's his wife; she's also the one primarily responsible for financing the beginnings of his political career, isn't she? Shows real gratitude on McCain's part, doesn't it? One can almost admire the sheer gall of the man...
Classy guy. And, yeah, she has acted like a cunt in the past, but that doesn't excuse him calling her that. Anybody who'd steal drugs and lie about it and then whine that "spouses should be off limits" is a hypocrite... and what she did in the past IS fair game. She's just wanting to get her past hidden so it won't be a liability to her sick-ass husband, and so she's concern trolling for Michelle Obama, who is so much Mrs. McCain's superior it's not funny.
If Evan called me that word -- especially in the presence of other people -- he'd be bunking in the guest room for a very, very long time. There would be groveling, diamonds, and perhaps a trip to Hawaii involved before he was allowed back in our bed. I don't like making men grovel, but I don't have much patience with being treated like shit.
If any other guy did it -- well, I love the part of the video where she says, "Go on...call me that," and the next shot is the guy lying on the floor moaning and clutching his balls. That, my lovelies, is what pointy toes and spike heels are for.
It says some sad things about Cyndi (I know I probably spelled it wrong; why can't she just spell it the right way, "Cindy," like my mom does?) McCain's own self-respect that she didn't cut off his jet privileges and stop writing campaign checks after that. Every politician needs a smiling wife by his side; she might have backed off on those appearances, too. He needs her a hell of a lot more than she needs him, but it sounds like he could use a serious reminder.
Actually, the C word seems to be making a comeback in the comics world (see the Kev books by Garth Ennis and Warren Ellis' Crecy.) Oddly enough, in these books it's always used by (male) Brit soldiers talking about other (male) Brit soldiers.
"There's a word you'll have to get used to. Cunt. This is a word that many people do not like. But you have to understand the English.
In England, the word cunt is punctuation.
"We're not a very pleasant people, the English. The French speak in music, but English only soars when we start being bloody 'orrible to people."
--Warren Ellis, Crecy
Also, I think Cindy McCain really does spell it Cindy.
One thing from your story has my curiosity peaked...what idea of McCains did your daughter liek exactly...I ahven't heard one positive thing from him.
