Yes, We C*nt!

Dear Senator McCain,

Okay. Awkward moment yesterday. Somebody at an event asked you if you'd ever called your wife a c*nt, as it's reported you did in Cliff Schecter's book The Real McCain. There's video of your sputtering non-denial making it's way all over YouTube.

I am here to help.

This could get ugly for you but before I lay out my strategy there's a problem of language in discussing this story. The press doesn't have any idea how to even talk about it. They get all giggly and red faced.

So, I suggest we all agree to change the official spelling of the c-word to c*nt. That will be less embarrassing for everyone. From now on c*nt means 'c*nt' -- got it?

Now, here's my plan. Triangulate, spin, fire!

You've already done this with 'anger'. If the press works up the courage to ask you about anger -- like when you attacked Rick Renzi -- you say that your anger about high taxes is a good thing. Whoosh, boing, well played!

Now, it's time to kick your c*nt game up a level!

You stand in front of a town hall meeting. A planted questioner raises his hand and asks you, "Did you call your wife a c*nt?"

Yes, I called my wife a c*nt...and I'm proud of it.

When I was a top gun pilot serving in America's great military I'd sometimes have to land on a thin landing strip...and I'd think of c*nts. My friends, when I see taxes rise even a c*nt hair, I want to slap those taxes down and make them me Grandpa.

Even as I look out over this crowd, I see a sea of c*nts. Yes, I see some c*cks too and some *ssholes and even a few *i**o*. But mostly I see c*nts, my friends.

Old fashioned c*nts. Red white and blue c*nts. The kind of c*nts that our brave soldiers overseas fight to protect. The c*nts that bring a smile to the faces of working men -- and let's be honest, some of the ladies -- at end of a hard day of honest labor. The c*nts that gave birth to this great nation.

When I look at America, I see millions of c*nts. Fat c*nts, skinny c*nts, c*nts who climb on rocks. Tough c*nts, sissy c*nts...even c*nts with chicken pox!

So, my friends, I will not back down from the straight talk about c*nts, whether it's an Al Queda terrorist or someone as near and dear to me as my wife. If it were up to me, I'd stay in a c*nt for a hundred years...maybe a thousand.

Now, which one of you c*nts has another question for me?

Funny post.

For everyone else...I think I may be getting blocked because I spelled the whole word out, but *i**o* is d*ld*s.

[puffhost]

[DavePM]

Dildo.

That awkward moment was brought to you by Rev. Marty Parrish.

Fromer Joe Biden supporter -- guess who he supports now:

If this comes up again, McCain's wife can diffuse it by standing up and saying, "Yes, he did call me that because, in fact, I am a c*nt. And if I don't have a problem with it, why should anyone else?" McCain clearly has a temper problem, but what he called his wife isn't the best example since that's his personal life. What the people need to see is how his temper has impacted his judgment as a public servant.

[ignorantwillyharper]

Well, he has no real rational for reasoning, when he has lost his temper, which is very often. I can just see him getting mad at Putin and calling him a CUNT, just before he hits the red button and killing all of us...but that's just me.

[ReasonIsMyReligion]

Re the above post. Lenny Bruce would be proud.

Re Minister Parrish. Huzzah.

A better question might have been...

"Senator, do you believe a man who refers to women as "c*nts" deserves to be President?"

or

"Senator, in your recollection, how many times have you used the word "c*nt" in the last year alone?"

etc.

[newworldman777]

Me! Me! I have another question. Since the c*nt question didn't push your notorious temper over the edge, then maybe this one will: Are you really getting thin on top? After all, that's the comment that provoked the c*nt remark to begin with...

[westbrooks01]

Gosh, that word is still so ugly, no matter how many times you say it.

[SCharb]

Once upon a time she was a cheerleader, and later McCain's mistress. Now he cheats on her with somebody else, and then calls her a c*nt and a trollop. So, the McCains have a loveless marriage, the Clintons have a loveless marriage... but the Obamas seem *happy* and *comfortable* with eachother. Hmmm... maybe it's because they married for love, instead of money and power?

[maggipost]

While I personally find name-calling deeply offensive and am about the most PC person I know (I even object to men who call their wives "the little woman" or "my bride"...it's clear to me that people who find Sen McCain's use of the word in question a disqualifying event have just never known a fighter pilot. They truly are a breed apart and delicacy of language is not a strong suit with most of them.
I once lived in a neighborhood literally filled with former fighter pilots. On week-ends the men would visit back and forth (mowing the lawn often took five hours, with frequent breaks), and when my own husband (ex military but not a pilot) came back inside we had the occasional harsh exchange because his use of foul language just grew exponentially after conversations with his buddies. It was a joke around our home that he wasn't going to be able to go out and play with the other boys if he couldn't keep from going all fighter pilot when he came back home. It isn't language that we should be concerned about....it's attitude.

[newworldman777]

Maggie, McCain's c*nt remark is just another example, in a very long list, of his inability to control his temper. This disturbing mental defect, if you will, goes way back in his life, LONG BEFORE his service as a Navy pilot. I would think that most other pilots would disagree with your assertion that they commonly disrespect their wives in public forums by calling them the worst of all possible offensive names. This type of behavior is totally unacceptable in any group, clique, or situation.

Perhaps you should do a bit more research on McCain before you make the decision to vote for him to be our next president. After all, if more Americans had done their civic duty by doing more research about George W.'s shady past (multiple business failures, use of political pull to avoid Vietnam service, went AWOL from military), then perhaps our country would be in much better shape today with a different president.

[ReasonIsMyReligion]

Your point is well taken.

Unfortunately, in McCain's case, it's BOTH.

[sugarmoes]

and his language reflects his attitude... elitist... he feels he's superior to women for sure... wonder what he had to do for penance so his sugarmomma wouldn't stop his apparently ample allowance.

[robynuva]

I grew up in the Navy (my dad joined at 17, and retired after 25 years a commissioned officer), and I respectfully disagree. Granted, his language ( I am told by my husband) was just as colorful, but he NEVER used language like that in front of his daughters and he would have cut off his tongue before he disrespected his wife in public with that kind of language.

No matter how they speak to each other, an officer and a gentleman not only would not use that language against his wife, nor would he have tolerated anyone speaking to a fellow officers' wife in that manner.

Would not have happened.

[gulopartisan]

Thank you. It is not the word I find offensive, but the action. What kind of a man would say something like that to his wife in front of strangers? A kind that I don't want representing me in, for example, Germany.

I grew up an Army brat, and I heard it all, usually at a distance but never, ever, in what we would have called "polite company." My father would not have said "c*nt" to a woman or "n*gg*r" to a black for passion or money, whatever his language in the company of men. And he would have found McCain's vulgar disrespect to his wife in front of strangers contemptible.

There are men who do these things; their actions reflect a character I want no part of. My father was a decent man, and he knew how to behave.

[hopeless277]

The Corporate Sponsored Media has annointed it's king and that king is John McCain. Seeing that the man who asked the question was hauled away by the police and secret service, I don't see this becoming an issue. I guess he's lucky they didn't taser him.

[tenzindorje]

So, Hillary has testicular fortitude, and McInsane has c*nts... great to see that we are becoming so comfortable with our transsexuality.

[ThirdSection]

That's why Hillary should be his running mate. A good ticket needs balance, d**n it!

[TheInsomniac]

Nice. But can you please remove an asterisk or two from "and even a few *i**o*" - I can't tell what that word is!

[LRM216]

I was thinking the same thing! What the heck is it?

[standforpeace]

I was thinking the same thing. Could we get a little help with that one?

[Maccabees]

"*i**o*" = "dittos" = Rush Limbaugh followers. Only a guess.

[puffhost]

Ha Ha! Great one! I asked the same question before I read this thread. I am glad I am not the only one!

[MicahBrwn]

Mulva?
