Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

In his book The Real McCain, author Cliff Schecter claims that John McCain made extremely ugly remarks about his wife Cindy McCain during a tirade witnessed by three reporters and two aides. "At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, 'You're getting a little thin up there,'" Schechter writes. "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."

A new book by Cliff Schechter has the inside scoop on John McCain. And if you want to know why John McCain was called "McNasty" in high school, read this.

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.

This event was witnessed by 3 reporters and two aides of John McCain, Doug Cole and Wes Gullett.

He's nutty from all those years of confinement and torture. At least that's what Bush's minions said in 2000.

John certainly one upped Bubba. He left the makeup part out.

A trollop and a cunt? Oh my.

Now you know why momma told you to stay away from sailors.

"At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt."


Wow, McNasty's a real silver-tongued little devil. Did Cindy smack
him hard upside the back of his bald head for that remark? Hope so.

"A Trollop and a CUNT"

What? No usual 2-inch headline on at the top of the DR Front Page
when the "c" word is involved in the title?

Oz,

"What should you do with a drunken sailor, what should you do with a drunken sailor so early in the morning?" Don't apply makeup apparently.

At least he's not an elitist. Only white, rural, gun-toting, bible thumping, blue-collar xenophobes talk like that.

-Corky

Now ya see this shows me exactly why this man should not be POTUS, cause he married a barbie doll, if he had said that to me the next time he slept I would have taken a baseball bat to his person and he would have been out in front of reporters the next day covered in bruises saying "of course when I said that I was totally out of line and I would never even think that about my beloved wife" can you imagine George Bush saying such a thing to Barbara? In fact can you imagine Slick Willie saying that to the Hilderbeast?

Someone with such a short temper has no business with his finger on "the button"

"What? No usual 2-inch headline on at the top of the DR Front Page
when the "c" word is involved in the title?"

When has that ever happened?

"can you imagine George Bush saying such a thing to Barbara? In fact can you imagine Slick Willie saying that to the Hilderbeast?"

Can you imagine the reaction if Obama had said that?

When has that ever happened?

Not all that long ago -- just a couple months or so. I don't even remember the exact story it pertained to but I KNOW others on here will remember the infamous DR headline. Somebody else can help me recall it.

Huffington Post reporter Sam Stein notes that the book's new reports on McCains fiery temper are well supported by other accounts of his losing his cool.

Anecdotes like these would stand out as highly abnormal if it weren't for McCain's history of similarly explosive behavior. As Washingtonian magazine documented (and Schecter notes in the book), McCain once "scuffled" with the Senate's then oldest member, Strom Thurmond, during a Senate Armed Service Committee hearing in January 1995. Three years later, the Associated Press article reported that McCain dropped F-Bombs on at least three fellow Republicans.

"I'm calling you a f------ jerk!" he once retorted to Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley.

And in a opinion piece last year on Salon.com, Sidney Blumenthal, now an adviser to Sen. Hillary Clinton, wrote that McCain once told Sen. Ted Kennedy to "shut up" on the Senate Floor, referred to a fellow Republican as a "shit head" and offered a downright vicious and doubly-offensive joke in 1998 Republican fundraiser about then first daughter Chelsea Clinton.

"Do you know why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly?" he asked. "Because Janet Reno is her father."

Can you imagine the reaction if Obama had said that?

New 527 Calls Hillary a 'Cunt' | Drudge Retort

Larry Mohr

"What should you do with a drunken sailor...


I don't think he was drunk. He was in front of three reporters and she just had to embarrass him by pointing out that his hair was thinning. She was playing for a laugh at his expense in an effort to show how witty she could be - former debutante, drunk, druggee, and daddy's little girl.

Sure she's a Barbie and probably pretty good between the sheets. She's not some naive little girl, and like I'm saying has her earthy side as well.

The word cunt has different meanings for men and women. If you gals would quit using it as an excuse to ball-bat a man in his sleep - a decidedly cowardly act - maybe we could work out a deal. Like you could quit calling us bastards, or acting like we're gay just because we don't want to fuck you, or playing for a laugh at our expense when we wouldn't do that to you.

Larry remembered the headline and supplied you the link. Thanks, Larry!

Here's one of the posts from that thread and by "bold" 2112 was referring to the one inch high bold "C" word put up in a banner headline the top of the Front Page.


Cunt, Cunt,Cunt, Cunt,Cunt, Cunt,Cunt, Cunt,Cunt, Cunt,Cunt, Cunt,Cunt, Cunt,Cunt, Cunt,Cunt, Cunt,Cunt, Cunt,Cunt, Cunt,Cunt, Cunt,Cunt,...

With it being on the front page in BOLD CAPS I am assuming I can get away with this. We shall see.

I agree should never have said that in public and especially in front of reporters.

I agree it's not a good policy to belittle and embarrass your partner in front of other people. Not really a good idea to do it in private either. And, yes, both sides are at fault for fueling the war between the sexes, so I vote, deal.

"Can you imagine the reaction if Obama had said that?"

Fox would be running the tape 24/7 with accompanying reporting and Michelle would have beaten the treacle out of Barack.

OZ - I have been called alot of things in my time (lawd I was in the Navy, what HAVEN'T I been called?) but I would seriously take offense to my HUSBAND calling me a trollop and a cunt. If a complete stranger calls me a cunt, or even if someone who knows me calls me a cunt, I would shrug it off and say "oh well". Now if my husband does it in front of reporters, you can bet your ever loving life that once he was sleeping I would beat the ever loving treacle out of him, and guess what? He would never do it again. PS) He would also never have sex again in his life unless he apologized. (Hookers nothwithstanding)

yeah... linking having the thread link to dailykos doesn't help the case here...

And they've confirmed this story?

Fox would be running the tape 24/7

There's of McCain saying this to his wife? Is there a link to it?

Well said, LitBrit. Although I can think of private circumstances in which a husband calling his wife a trollop and a cunt would be acceptable, I can't think of many public instances where it would be--except maybe on Halloween and the Missus went to a costume party dressed as the Wife of Bath. ;-)

Someone calls my wife a C-word in public, they will never see closing time. And if I called her that, either would I. Terrible word, all kidding aside.

"yeah... linking having the thread link to dailykos doesn't help the case here..."

It's from a forthcoming book, Rob. Doesn't matter which website I linked to.

rawstory.com

Great! The last thing this country needs is a dictator with a temper.

"And they've confirmed this story?"

Confirmed? Well, you can believe it or not. The author said 3 reporters and 2 McCain aides were present.

It's far more "confirmed" than the story that Rev. Wright was preaching hate every Sunday for 20 years.

Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain's intemperateness.

Okay, I literally laughed out loud at this...

3 REPORTERS, not only never reported on this story of a Senator calling his wife a cunt, but also told about the story but asked to remain anonymous...

uh huh... right. Senator calls his wife a cunt and a trollup, but they sit on it for 16 years only to report it anonymously so someone else can get credit for breaking the story... That sounds perfectly logical.

Goddamn piece of paper!

Yes, it does, for reporters who want to keep their jobs on the McCain beat.

No, you don't. The Right keeps claiming that Wright was doing this every Sunday for 20 years but can only produce 2 video clips.

Good thing for McCain he said this in front of three reporters with absolutely no ambition.

"You have a ridiculously unbelievable story relying on reporters not reporting such an amazing event..."


You're really naive. Do you have any clue as to how many stories like this reporters have witnessed and kept silent about? Did you ever hear about JFK's womanizing until years after his death?

Which were well accepted by the congregation to say the least. Not shocked audiences... roaring applause.

You're right though, I'm sure it was just these two times... Wright must have had a long day when he accidentally said White people made the AIDS virus to kill Blacks with.

Different time, different press...

A United States Senator calling his wife a Cunt would have been reported on in the 90s... unless of course you happened to be around the only 3 reporters who just didn't like breaking news.

Lucky break for McCain.

You can whine all you want, Rob. The more time you spend defending John "100 Year War" McTrollop the better. Keeps you out of mischief. :)

You can whine all you want, Rob.

Who is whining? The story just sounds a little silly to me...

Like that SOB Bush/Rove wouldn't have uncovered this in 2004.

I'm sure the holier than thou religious right will love this story. I bet they turn out in droves to vote for McTrollop. lol.

You know what though... going bald is a serious issue for men...

For her to comment on it in front of aides and reporters... yeah that's a little cuntish.

Sounds about as credible as Obama's gay BJ and crack night...

Point still out there, that in 2000, Rove would have brought this story if it really happened to the public.

Or are you saying that would cross a line for Karl "Did you hear about his Negro baby" Rove?

"Point still out there, that in 2000, Rove would have brought this story if it really happened to the public."

Maybe he wasn't aware of it then. Most people still haven't heard this. You know, sometimes things don't come out until years after the fact. Duh.

How can you put any credence in a story that is unsourced, anonymous and wasn't reported at the time it occurred--no where ??

And don't you think that Bush or a 527 would have used this in 2000?

It's because it's BS.


Murphy

"It's because it's BS."

Maybe. Maybe not. There's abundant evidence, from Arizona Republicans, that McCain has a real problem with his temper.

Don't be surprised to see more stories like this. Sorry.

"Shut yer gob ya stinkin' gash!"

Anyone who would take it up the butt like McCain did in 2000, then kisses Bush ass for 8 years doesn't deserve anything but ridicule.


I have absolutley no difficulty believing the years in captivity and age have eroded his mental capacity and judgement. He will make a great puppet President.

If this is the best shit you dems have to attack McCain with your toast before the confetti hits the floor at your convention.

Bee Swell

Crackpipejunkie

I actually hope McCain wins, and the republicans take back the house and senate. That way when the economy collapses and the army is humiliated in Iraq--it won't be the dems fault, and maybe we can get a decent country. Its the theory you have to get to rock bottom before you recover. I think I'll vote for McCain myself. I'm old enough I won't be around to see the consequences. How about you? Got soup?

;-)

I don't think it matters who wins, nothing is going to until 2012. We aren't leaving Iraq for a while.

.......he should know........

I'm with Rob on the skepticism.
I think the three reporters would have beaten each other bloody to be the first to break the headline on nasty ole Mac!

I'm glad he told that fat fucking drunk Kennedy to shut up. I'm equally pleased he called somebody a fucking jerk. So he scuffled with Strom?

Sounds like a guy with some passion and conviction.

Not only is Barry Hussien too much of a pussy to push or insult a fellow politician, but he won't even walk out on the weekly hate preaching at his "church".

Vote McCain, or he'll fuck you up and call your wife a cunt. (That's a little wory for a bumper sticker isn't it?)

The media siezing on McCain's temper as a negative will backfire big-time if Hillary manages to win the Dem primary - her temper is absolutely legendary.

JJ,

hillary win the primary......LOL! Not a chance in hell!

I do agree with you about john baghdad bob mccain though. Just look at bush and his temper and one can clearly see the twist of the media would do to those negative towards him.

I agree that the sources are worse than suspect, but to be honest, Arizona worships McCain so the possibility of Arizona reporters sitting on this isn't all that crazy. I lived there from 89-98 and they do love their pols. Witness Even Mecham (former Arizona Gov) and his Alabama porch monkey remarks.

Even a stopped watch is right twice a day.

I decided to post this on the front page because it's already been reported by the New York Daily News and is percolating around the blogs.

If it's true, you gotta wonder how angry this guy is capable of getting. Everybody loses their shit sometimes and says ugly things to their significant other, but doing it in front of five other people is pretty unusual. And the guy will have his finger on the button, so his temperament is fair game.

DUH,,, I believe everything I read....

the dems

And the guy will have his finger on the button, so his temperament is fair game.

Posted by rcade



Of course it's fair game.

So, let's look at it a bit....


It can be easily argued that both President Clinton and President Lyndon Johnson had tempers that were at least on-par with that of McCain.


McCain's temper isn't an issue of Hillary wins the Dem primary - her temper is far more legendary.


If Obama wins then we will soon learn about how he beat up his wife when she made fun of his ears.

yes, but what if she IS as trllop and a cunt?

RC -- Agree it is fair. I also think his "bomb, bomb, Iran" ditty of last year is fair, too. Unfortunately, half of Mccain is rational and moderate. It's the other half of McCain that's worrying.

And for anyone who interpretes my previous remarks about stopped watches as a slight at the lovely and warm Mrs. McCain, please don't. She's a hottie no matter how much makeup she wears. (And they say women like confident men with a teasing sense of humor...)


Even a stopped watch is right twice a day.

I hate to say it but this is Technically Untrue. If a Watch stops ticking during Daylight Saving Time the time that was last registered would be in daylight saving mode. So if it stops at 6:00PM Daylight saving time then when Standard time rolls around it will not be the same 6:00 it will be an hour faster than the Standard time. Just an FYI.

If a Watch stops ticking during Daylight Saving Time...

If this wasn't so pathetic it would be funny.

The broken watch is just an indicator. If it stopped at 6 o'clock then it doesn't matter if it's AM or PM or if Daylight Savings is in effect. Twice a day the indicator displays the correct time - for an instant.

No what is Pathetic is You Mikey nothing more needs Be said about THAT one.

I'm trying to figure out how to use "Rin Tin Tin's bitch" in a sentence and apply it to Larry. It's gonna take a bit of time.

Throw in his obvious "confused moments", his 100 year war, his flip flops on tax cuts, Bush and Rummy's military geniusness (until he figured out what was obvious to the rest of the world), fundamentalists,amnesty, campaign finance et al and he's the one in the toaster.

Yup. And no reporters knew anything about JFK's dalliances, or they would surely have reported those as well.

but look..there is no real proof he called her that. remember that if bush and cheney can get all the people together to be the REAL 9/11 culprits, then the leftist media can make this shit up...Im just saying.

Was it a front page article when some dude claimed to be licking Barack's ballbag while Obama snorted coke?

That crazy-ass accusation never made it into any credible media outlet.

Once a story's out there in the mainstream, as this one has been since the Daily News ran it, would you prefer that I hide it from Retort readers? One of the joys of doing this is to get around the media filter and talk openly about the kinds of thinks political reporters tell each other but won't report.

AND IF this proves to be true, I cant wait for some women's group to come out with some sort of indignation or bullshit.
all we will have to do is remind them the exact time they became totally irelavant......when blowjob was found to be the sexual harrasser in chief with fat interns and
THEY SAID NOTHING.......
or maybe the times we see women in the middle east covered from head to toe and treated like cattle.
AND THEY SAY NOTHING.,,,,,,,

so come on N.A.G.....give us your best shot cause it wont be enough.......

It's gonna take a bit of time.

Posted by LeeAtwater at 2008-04-16 11:06 AM


I hate to admit it but that made me spew my coffee.

"Was it a front page article when some dude claimed to be licking Barack's ballbag while Obama snorted coke?"

And, as previously reported, the "dude" in question failed 2 polygraph tests early in March.

Watching Null Set defend this story is like watching Buffalo Bob defend the book about GW1 being a pedophile. Have you ever heard the phrase, "don't believe everything you read?" Just because something's in a book doesn't mean that it's true.

That said, I don't care if McCain called his wife a cunt. She probably deserved it.

Kinda begs the question...

"Senator McCain do you still call your wife a cunt?"

I don't think this hurts McCain. No one has put their name on a confirmation, and who can recall their exact words of 16 years ago. It's not like a defining event for him, and people say a lot of things in an offhanded way.

The Feminists aren't going to vote for a Republican, and I'd wager that a significant number of conservative types would understand that the marriage may have been a bit rocky at the time, and Cindy's behavior obnoxious.

In 1989, Cindy McCain became addicted to opioid painkillers such as Percocet and Vicodin,[25] which she initially took to alleviate pain following two spinal surgeries for ruptured discs[26][27] and to ease emotional stress during the Keating Five scandal,[25] which involved her as a bookkeeper who had difficulty finding receipts.[15] The addiction progressed to where she resorted to stealing drugs from her own AVMT.[26] During 1992, Tom Gosinski, the director of government and international affairs for AVMT, discovered her drug theft.[28] Subsequently in 1992, her parents staged an intervention to force her to get help;[15] she told her husband about her problem, attended a drug treatment facility, began outpatient sessions, and ended her three years of active addiction.[25] A hysterectomy in 1993 resolved her back pain.[25][27]


Maybe he'd just had it with her nonsense. She was obviously out of control, a drug addict, guilty of felony theft, and yet McCain did stand by her and help her get well.

And she could end it all by saying, Back then I deserved the label.

All of this misses the point that men use "cunt" to describe a behavior. It's a gender neutral term. Same applies to other words like bitch, whore, etc. Men use these words as a pejorative label for other men, not just women, and they represent a level of disgust commensurate with the behavior.

So, you don't want to called a bitch, cunt, whore, don't act like one.

"Just because something's in a book doesn't mean that it's true."

No kidding, dumbass. I didn't say this story is provably true. It's certainly not inconsistent with what is know about McTrollop's temper problem.

But in any case, I like to you see rightwingers on the defensive.

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.



Simply sounds like a typical couple at one time or another.....get real and be honest.

Oh, and it's better than NULLandVOID talking about all girls being fair game once they menstruate. Yeah, you remember that late night blogging of yours as do other DR posters......so go ahead and deny it.......or, maybe scream for my home address again. ROFLMAO.

"All of this misses the point that men use "cunt" to describe a behavior. It's a gender neutral term. Same applies to other words like bitch, whore, etc. Men use these words as a pejorative label for other men, not just women, and they represent a level of disgust commensurate with the behavior."

A MAN does not publicly call his wife a "cunt", "bitch" or "whore". There simply is no excuse. This is abuse pure and simple and might as well have been a punch except he can't lift his arms anymore. Lucky for her. If he thought so badly of her he should have divorced her a long time ago. Except he would lose her family's money of course.

And I can understand his wife's addiction to pain killers since ruptured disks are incredibly painful and the morphine based drugs they give you is horribly addictive. Considering the age of her sons it is obvious their pregnancies and births contributed to her back problems.

Ozark, how often do you call your wife a cunt since you don't think its a big deal?

Maybe in your family it is. Calling a woman a "cunt" for pointing out thinning hair isn't acceptable in my world.

"and who can recall their exact words of 16 years ago.

You're right - he may have actually called her a twat.

In my world, we treat ladies with respect. They are only referred to as "madamoiselle" or "my dear," never "cunt," and I only give them foot rubs or feed them grapes while we ride in a handsome cab to the World's Fair.

-Montecore, circa 1700

So I take it we can count Joe in the "it's okay to call your wife a cunt if she comments about your hair" category. Your mommy must be so proud of you, Angry Joe. (Wait, this does make sense. Angry Joe appears to have a temper as bad as McAncient's.) No wonder you don't have a girlfriend, Joe.

....maybe he said "my dear, you are a cunt". Acceptable now? hehehe

So what about NULLandVOID's expression that they are legitimate fair game once they menstruate....no opinion about your little buddy and that? Oh, he's free to deny it......

He called her a "trollop"? Wow, he really is old!

I guess RideOn is used to being called a cunt by his boyfriend.

There goes Munty, trying to goad me into a conversation about my personal life. Sorry Munty, you'll have to make up for your own pathetic existence some other way today.

Well, it's worked before. Glad to see you learn from your past mistakes.

By the way, i try to treat everyone in my family with respect. If that's circa 1700, so be it.

Oh yeah, if you think it's okay to call your wife a cunt for commenting about your hairline, you're a cunt.

Well if she is a trollop and a cunt, wouldn't he know it?

The question should be 'senator, why should we trust your judgment when you married a trollop who is a cunt'?

He called her a "trollop"? Wow, he really is old!

HAHA - FF!! Why, that scallywag and ne'er-do-well!

Ozark, how often do you call your wife a cunt...

I'm single, and it's rare that I assign that attribution.

I don't deny that it is a crude word, and many people would not use it in private, less so in public.

But the notion that you can not say that to a woman under any circumstances is wrong. They don't like it because they know it is on the lower rung, a term that describes a filthy despicable person, and so they viciously attack its use.

Why? Because girls are sugar and spice...

No. They want preference, an exception, a denial that any woman could sink that far.

They can and do.

Know the expression, Calling a Spade a Spade?

Sorry I thought we were rehashing all of the news from 1992

Ozark - I'm not sure I agree with you. If a guy says "you're getting a few crow's feet around your eyes," and his wife responds "at least I'm not going bald you fucking prick," I'm not sure that would be seen much differently. Both of them go way overboard for what is an appropriate response, in my opinion, and both would raise eyebrows if said in public. Of course, I'm circa 1700 though.

Monte, the entire 1700 post was a joke. Guess I still need to work on that...

I know it was Joe, and it was a decent effort at that. No worries.

I guess you think mental instability goes away after a few years. It doesn't. I bet you think Reagans Alzheimers did affext him either. When they asked about the arms for hostages, he really didn't know what they were talking about. He just signed where they told him and read the speaches like a good little puppet. That might be too much for McCain to handle, But they'll just get a rubber stamp made of his name in case the disease gets too far along.
