Someone at a town hall meeting recently had the stones to ask McCain whether it's true that he called his wife a cunt. McCain, being a douchebag, couldn't deny it. Here's the transcript:
Audience member: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)?
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.
Yeah, people DON'T really like that kind of language. Which is why the prospect of you calling your wife that is ridiculous.
Now, I'm not going to suggest that because McCain and his wife cuss at each other like sailors, it someone relates to his ability to lead the country. It simply means he's a giant asshole. But I will venture to guess that his dodgey bullshit of an answer is an indicator of how he'll approach the tough questions about the job. He won't answer them.
For those who haven't heard this little tidbit about McCain's temper, it's still up on Rawstory.com I believe. The excerpt is as follows:
"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."
