VIDEO Gaffe-aw!: Did Gramm-pa McCain say the C-Word on live TV?

By GottaLaff


I've seen this video in a couple of places. I guffawed at his gaffe-aw.

So? Did he really say it? If so, someone tell Cliff that the naysayers in the corporate media owe him one.

Finally! Boxer, Durbin on McCain: Temper, temper

By GottaLaff

Back to what really matters:

John McCain’s Democratic colleagues in the Senate are zeroing in on his oft-discussed temper, questioning whether that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is too volatile to be commander in chief.

I think I'm hallucinating. Say that again?

In separate interviews with Politico Tuesday, both Senate Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) and Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said they have seen McCain “explode.”

“He has a huge anger problem,” Boxer said. “And he never hid that….I have seen it happen on the Senate floor many, many times…He has exploded at me a couple times.”

Mmmm, yes!!! More, more... more...

Boxer said McCain has always apologized after the dust-ups. Nonethless, she insinuated that McCain’s temperament makes him unfit for the White House.

“It’s all well and good to apologize,” Boxer added, “but if you are in charge of that black box, I worry about that.”

Two points: One, she's spot on. Two, this is what abusers do. They abuse, they apologize, they charm... and then they abuse again.

Durbin noted McCain’s temper is “well documented,” saying that he had been on the receiving end of it for what he considered “minor things.”

“I was in a confrontation with him… and he was quick to explode,” said Durbin. “It simmered for a long time.”

He apparently suffers from PTSD, and at the very least, from a severe pyschological disorder called, what is it again? Oh yes. Completely Unchecked Nonrestrictive Temper, or C.U... never mind.

Boxer pointed out that many of McCain’s GOP colleagues have also spoken out about his volatility, highlighting an incident told to the Biloxi Sun Herald by Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.).

Cochran told the newspaper that he watched McCain get involved in a physical confrontation with a Nicaraguan government official during a 1987 trip there. According to Cochran, McCain grabbed the official by the shirt collar and “snatched him up like he was throwing him up out of the chair.”

Gold.

John Sidney McCain: Stuck in the Sixties

Okay, J Sid, let's make it about the past. Because when it comes to the past, you've got years and years and years of it.

John Sidney McCain doesn't like women, and here's proof

Paddy sent me an e-mail, which is also posted here. Plus, I'm re-posting my "Grow Up, J Sid" video since it makes similar points. :

Don’t Like Women? That’s OK, Neither Does He

You ever get the feeling that some guys just really don’t like women at all, or care what they think, or respect them?

Seems John McCain is one of them.

He’s decided that a woman shouldn’t be able to end a pregnancy EVEN IF IT’S GOING TO KILL HER. The story is here:

(http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?id=4824779&page=1)

Yes, he’s going to let the right-wing radicals who run the Republican Party push for outlawing abortion even if a woman has been brutally raped.

Even if she’s a 14 year old violated by her own father.

Even if she might die if the pregnancy is brought to term.

And speaking of rape, McCain thinks a joke about a woman being beaten and raped is just hilarious:

And it’s not just McCain’s determination to overturn Roe v. Wade. On a whole host of issues, he’s against women’s rights:

(http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/06/07/mccain-and-womens-issues-its-more-than-just-roe/)

He voted against requiring health care plans to cover birth control (3/22/03).

He voted against comprehensive, medically accurate sex education (7/25/06).

He voted against international family planning funding (3/14/96).

He voted against funding to prevent teen and unintended pregnancies (3/17/05).

He voted against public education for emergency contraception (3/17/05).

And he voted against restoring Medicaid funding that could be used for family planning for low-income women (3/17/05)

Of course, McCain cheated on his loyal, devoted first wife and dumped her for someone with a lot more money. His first wife wasn’t attractive to him any more. But I guess being in a car wreck does cut down on your sex appeal.

And this whole “equal pay for women” thing? McCain says he’s for it—but when the chips are down he votes against it:

Yes, McCain thinks that women are basically 2nd rate people who can’t be allowed to make their own decisions. But there’s one way McCain puts his wife out front and center:

He said she should enter a topless beauty pageant.

Wow. What a guy. Just what we need.

To go back to the 19th century.

Oh, and let's not forget that old chestnut, calling his wife the C-Word. He'd make some role model for our kids, huh?
