Report: McCain's Profane Tirade At His Wife

It's going to be a fun campaign...

I'm sorry. Someone explain to me how getting mad at his wife, if even true, is newsworthy. What...is this supposed to imply that he is unhinged or something? Any married man who hasn't called his wife a "bad" name probably isn't much of a man at all. And vice versa.

Fight him on his policies, not this nonsense. This dumb focus is why we continue to lose.

John McCain's temper is just what we need for U.S. diplomacy. I could just imagine him meeting with foreign leaders, or foreign media, and spouting off.
His personality aside, what should worry voters is his record and stance on important issues that WE live with daily.
He does not endorse universal access to healthcare. He refuses to endorse civil rights legislation. He has no understanding of economic issues, and thinks everything is swell, despite the downfall of the market, credit crisis, inflation and rising unemployment, and has admitted he knows nothing and can't do much to solve those problems.
He's endorsed the use of torture by voting to authorize the military and CIA to continue torturing detainees.
He wants to stay in Iraq forever, and to bomb Iran, and begin another war there. Despite his having served in the military, he should know that our troops are stretched thread bare, commanders are complaining their troops are exhausted, equipment and personnel are in short supply, and our readiness to face any other challenge is non-existent.
After all the hype about Jeremiah Wright, little was said about Hagee's endorsement speech, which he embraced and solicited.
McCain wants to make the Bush tax cuts permanent.
The list goes on. McCain is a real nut case, and very dangerous. While respecting his service, I'm afraid of the damage he'll do to this country if elected.

He likened her to a trollop? That's some pretty retro terminology! Did he call her a "strumpet" and a "bawd" while he was at it? Egad! Maybe he's older than he lets on.

Sounds like the kind of guy you want to "negotiate" with Iran.

I wonder if he's always had this hot, uncontrollable temper. With the outbursts and the physical attacks on people (if true), sometimes I think he may still be suffering from post-traumatic-stress-syndrome from his war days.

I saw McCain interviewed by Dana Bash. She pleasantly asked him about something (maybe his campaign plane) and he said something like, "It's good for jerks like you."

Back at CNN, Blitzer and Cafferty reacted with shock and awkwardly said she wasn't a "jerk". Bash just smiled and said that was McCain's sense of humor, especially with the press. "Nothing personal."

If he's this bad now, with minimal stress, in full public view, imagine how he'll be when he's....older....under great stress....and in private?

For once I agree with a Republican. I don't think McCain is temperamentally suited to be president. "Scary".

Betcha he never called Vicki Iseman the "C-word."

If my husband ever spoke to me in that manner I would send him off to the moon without any oxigen or spaceship. What is the content of character of this McCain man that wants to be our president?
A person should not be judge by their political affiliation, money race or gender but for what kind of human being s/he is inside. I judge this man to be a poor sample of what a president should be. I judge him to be a sad excuse for a man. I judge him a lesser person for his lack of humanity.

There is a big piece missing to this "story," and that involves Mrs. McCain. I would very much like to know what her response was. If she laughed, then they are used to harsh sarcasm and that's their schtick. If she kicked him in the shins and said, "Guess who is sleeping on the couch tonight, Big Boy," that's another type of relationship. If she burst into tears and was humiliated, that's sad. Since she is independently wealthy, obviously she's not sticking with him for financial support, so there must be some goodies in the relationship for her. But we don't know, do we? Until we do, it's gossip.

Can we expect that this information will make it to the mainstream media on a regular basis? A 24/7 loop for the next three weeks will do.

The ironic thing about this is if you take away the "c" word -- which ought to invite every woman in America to vote against him -- he's absolutely on target in his description of her: "plaster on the makeup like a trollop." She is frightful. But then, he left his first wife for her, too.

In a serious vein, IF this report is true and if he's accustomed to speaking to his wife that way, it begs the question about whether there is any domestic violence in his past. People who speak violently don't always limit their assaults to words.

Taking bets on who has the guts to ask him if he called Cindy a cunt. Certainly no one in the press. They bowed, scraped, and begged forgiveness after asking one question about Vicki Iseman. What ever happened to Vicki? If it was Monica there would be thousands of reporters at her door.

That's the most delightfully funny thing I've heard in this whole race. It sounds like an interaction between Frank and Marie, straight out of an uncensored episode of Everybody Loves Raymond.

In 1992 McCain was 55. I will be 54 in a few weeks and I, too, am going bald. In fact, in sort of a patchy and unattractive way. But my wife can joke about it without worrying that I will call her a trollop and a cunt.
John McCain is a nasty, cruel, vindictive man who should never, ever, under any circumstances be president of the United States.

Seems to me it is always the christian ethics right who are always falling short of their christian ethics.

Anyone who saw the ultra reactive hissy fit concerning Michelle Obama, defaming her patriotism is forced to look at McCains statements and conclude that maybe He is right.

Where was this documented? Please say there is a video on this one. That would seal the election!!!!!!!

It's quite amazing really. Of all the potential candidates the Republican Party could have had, they had to come up with a total idiot like John McCain. the only thing I liked about this schmuck was his wife Cindy, classy and cool - pity she gets treated that way, by a dumbo who married into her fortune which helped him rise in politics.

Obama is so going to run all over him.

CUNT that's a good word...I can hear my grandson calling my daughter that...GREAT!

When are we going to start holding our Presidents to a higher standard? Bush lies as if it were a contest or something...Clinton could not keep his penis in his pants even if it democracy depended upon it...and now because people are old and tired they can say CUNT in public? I DON'T THINK SO...

If McCain is that tired then let's elect someone a little younger. We can do that...YES WE CAN!

I in no way intend to diminish Senator McCain's service to the country, but I fail to see how being a POW qualifiies one for the presidency. The only benefit to being a former millitary man I see is that it would foster an empathy for the plight of the soldier, give the CIC a first-hand knowledge of the horrors of war, and reflexively teach the CIC only to use the millitary in the most extremely and absolutely necessary circumstances. It seems that McCain has not learned this lesson and has, in fact, taken the opposite lesson. What appears to be moreso the case is that his torure at the hands of the enemy has bread within him a seething, supressed rage and anger, as well as a deep sense of violent hostility towards American adversaries - which must be destroyed so that no one ever has to experience what he himself had to endure for his country.
