McCain and the "C" word.
The media continue to give John McCain an astonishing easy time of it and it's increasingly only on the blogosphere that one comes across the stories that might actually have an impact on whether or not people have a chance to assess just who John McCain actually is.
Raw Story lead this morning with a report of an incident which they say took place in front of reporters and aides in 1992.Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain's intemperateness.
He talks to his wife that way? Is it even imaginable that if the press had a similar story regarding Obama that it wouldn't be plastered over every front page?
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 c---."
McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.
I mean we're used to this sort of stuff:
John McCain's temper is well documented. He's called opponents and colleagues "shitheads," "assholes" and in at least one case "a fucking jerk."But I think he's heading into a new ballpark with that comment to his wife. Just how much of a free pass are they going to give this guy?

Three anonymous sources and an "unreported" story from 1992. Wow, that's some piece of journalism.
Erm, I think you'll find McCain excused himself by saying that it was "a long day". That's an admission.

You mean, it's an admission according to anonymous sources regarding a supposed incident at an unnamed place and time in 1992 that was never reported on in sixteen years.
That's some Pulitzer prize winning journalism if if ever I saw it.
Well, it's in a book now. So we can look forward to McCain suing or, at the very least, publicly denying it. Has he done so yet?
