Asking a question of John McCain

Can get you questioned by the Secret Service.

The question:

Q: This question goes to mental health and mental health care. Previously, I've been married to a woman that was verbally abusive to me. Is it true that you called your wife a (expletive)?

The word is cunt, as in:

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."

The answer:

McCain: Now, now. You don't want to... Um, you know that's the great thing about town hall meetings, sir, but we really don't, there's people here who don't respect that kind of language. So I'll move on to the next questioner in the back.

The response:

Clive businessman Marty Parrish was escorted from Sen. John McCain's town hall meeting by Des Moines police and members of the Secret Service after asking McCain if he had called his wife Cindy an expletive in 1992.

Parrish, an ordained Baptist minister who holds a master's degree in political science, was questioned by Secret Service agents before being released. He was not charged in the incident. Parrish asked whether McCain called his wife Cindy an expletive related to the female anatomy, as has been alleged in the book "The Real McCain," written by Dem strategist Cliff Schecter.

I wonder if his name is now on the Terrorist Watch List because he dared ask a question...

And Senator, we really do want to know if you were crass and hot headed enough to curse at your wife undeservedly and in front of reporters. Because it would give us a snapshot of whether you could lose your temper and undeservedly bomb .. say... Iran.

So. Senator. Did you call your wife a cunt?

Indignant, immoral, huffy, corrupt, pompous, hypocritical, greedy, insincere....

Republicans have been and are all that. (Did I miss anything?) So why on earth should we do business with them?

Republicans are trying to call Democrats angry and asking why should they do business with us. Sure, I'll own up to being angry. Wouldn't you be angry after six plus years of this shit?

Mustang Bobby at Bark Bark Woof Woof:
So why, the Republicans innocently ask, are the Democrats so angry? Would you like a list?

- Iraq
- Katrina
- Valerie Plame
- Tom DeLay
- Terri Schiavo
- Randy "Duke" Cunningham
- the fired US attorneys
- Abu Ghraib
- Scooter Libby
- warrantless wiretapping
- the USA PATRIOT Act
- tax cuts for the rich
- the Federal Marriage amendment that would put gay-bashing into the Constitution
- stem-cells
- and on and on

(I'll add three, Mustang Bobby: Habeas Corpus, the Kyoto Accord, and the Geneva Convention).


It's like having your drunk brother-in-law moving into your house AFTER your sister has thrown him out. He parks his car on your lawn, maxes out your credit card, and starts a fight with your wife. He then proceeds to leer at your underage son, grope your daughter while preaching about morals and the dangers of homosexuality. He listens to your phone calls and reads your emails. He watches porn and snuff tapes. Finally, he burns the neighbor's house down, then threatens the neighbor beyond him. He then wonders why you are angry.
