John McCain Inspired My Husband To Blog

How did he do it? By allegedly calling his wife a cunt.

Please don't be surprised that an ex-POW would be 'mean' to a woman or have some temper issues.

As for Cindy McCain...other than looking like the perfect Stepford wife while standing next to him on stage, I don't know much about her. Maybe she likes being called a cunt? Maybe under all that hairspray and makeup she's some sex freak who gets off on being berated in public? Maybe she's secretly plotting to publicly call her husband an asshole during his next big speech? Either way, I'm going to guess husband and wife name-calling occurs on SOME level in the McCain household. Maybe it doesn't. All I know is the whole story had my husband writing.

MOMocrats, meet DADocrat Aaron Vest:

There's a new dust up on the campaign trail for the McCain camp. You've probably already heard about the new book by Cliff Schecter, "The Real McCain".  In the book Schecter writes:

"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."

And the outrage ensues.

Feminists are outraged by the use of the word cunt.  The Morally Correct simply don't like curse words at all, especially words like cunt.  And many other people are just scared that McCain could take his notorious temper into White House and start hammering away at the button with his fist, red faced jowels flapping around wildly in the wind, while screaming "Ahmadinejad is a cunt!" People believe this could happen. They do.  They really really do.  And they are outraged.  As a side note, I think it's rather ironic that people would be "outraged" by his temper.  But anyway...

I, for one, think that we should take a step back and give McCain the benefit of the doubt on this one.  We may know about his voting record.  We may know about his policies.  We do know all about his heroics as POW.  But what we don't know very much about is Cindy McCain.  It's quite possible that she really is a cunt.  And a big one at that.  Have you ever spent a really long hard day with a really big cunt?  It'd piss you off too.  Especially if the cunt started making fun of your male pattern baldness. 

This raises a serious question, how could he have not known she was a cunt before committing to her?  Did he just assume that heck, he can just easily make her stop being a cunt just because he married her?  Was his best man telling him he'd be able to do it in less than a year at almost no cost?  Did McCain know the history of her family?  I bet he'd feel pretty silly to find out now that there is a long history of being a cunt in her family.  After he discovered he couldn't get her to stop being a cunt he probably wished he had an exit strategy for the marriage.  Or at least a pre-nup.  Maybe he just planned on being married to her for 100 more years, or however long it took.  Who knows really?

So while I'm perfectly willing to accept John McCain's assessment that he married a cunt, I think that says more about his judgment than anything else.  Honestly, I think the last thing we need right now is another cunt in the White House.

...Oh stop it Hillary supporters, I wasn't talking to you.

If I could stop laughing long enough to write a coherent comment, I might actually do it, but as it is, I'll just have to be content laughing myself silly. Gotta love his judgement on Day One. Or was it day two, seeing as how he had to leave one wife for this one? Maybe that's what he means by having to leave and come back.

Hmmm.

[Karen Sugarpants]

Taken out of context, it could mean anything. My husband and I routinely tell each other to "stop being cuntish." Big deal.
We don't know Cindy McCain, nor do we know the way the couple speak to each other.
Ah hell, maybe Cindy is cuntish...

I don't know, Aaron, even if she is a horrible person, the issue is that he wants to have the most public job in the United States but he has that kind of temper? I tease my husband all the time about his thinning hair and he has never called me a cunt. The fact that she puts up with that kind of disrespect-and it happened in 1992, so that's sixteen years of it at least-makes me question what kind of First Lady she would make as well.

I'm not saying that every Presidential couple has a perfect marriage, but POW or not, like the one article on Huffington Post says, the President has a lot of "long days", and he has to be able to manage the pressure and the stress better than that.

The whole time you were writing this 'satire'(maybe or maybe not) I was thinking about Obama sitting in the white house.

They just have very different thought patterns and style.

Since Obama used to get coffee from my bagel store when he lived in Bklyn, I'll go with him :)

He's been up on myspace page for 18 months even though I rarely go there anymore.

OMG, that is a great post. You should blog more often!

[Kristen Forbriger]

Well, then I am (for the only time in my life) very grateful for Senator McCain, because this is a great post! I don't just say that because I'm a liberal Democrat, either.

I absolutely hate the "c-word" but I'm glad you shared this story... I generally don't read much about the old man, by choice, but I might start if it's all this entertaining.

Aaron, I hope this is not the last we hear from you!

[Aaron Vest]

Karen - I totally agree with you! Can't you just imagine them in the throws of geriatric passion where he's calling her his little cunt and asking her who her great great grand daddy is? There's nothing wrong with that at all, except...ok, well there's really a lot wrong with that but who am I to judge?

[Daisy]

What, no one told him that balding is like bad weather -- just relax and enjoy it!?

[Glennia]

Man, I hate that word.

I just can't see Obama or Bill Clinton speaking to their wives like that, in public or not. At least not if they wanted to keep their teeth.

[Karen Sugarpants]

I just threw up in my mouth, Aaron. EW!

[jen]

oh. my. god. i am in love with your husband now.

[Lawyer Mama]

Erin - I'm going to fight you for your husband now. (BTW, how cute is it that your names match!)

Aaron - I loved the post, but then this comment put me over the top:
"I totally agree with you! Can't you just imagine them in the throws of geriatric passion where he's calling her his little cunt and asking her who her great great grand daddy is?"

I think I just peed my pants.

[Stefania/CityMama]

Oh, Karen, but we do know Cindy McCain. I may not have the story 100% right, but she set up a charitable medical foundation then ended up stealing pharmaceuticals from it, getting addicted to pills for like 3 years, and spending a little time in rehab. To avoid criminal charges. That's pretty cuntish.Yep, they're a pair alright.

[Sleeping Mommy]

I just read this to my husband--the Republican*--and he laughed. I'm so glad Erin shared Aaron's work here. Point(s) taken. Well played sir.

*Yes, we have a divided household politically. And yes, things get interesting, especially during an election year.

[QueenofSpain, Erin Kotecki Vest]

Oh, no need to fight me ladies. He's all yours. ;)

[Jenny, Bloggess]

It's probably just a term of endearment. Like "sugar tits" or "fuckface".

[Debbie]

This is the best post I've ever read about cunts.

Cuntastic!

[Mom101]

Oh we all know he's just copying Jane Fonda.

[JackieWks]

Wait ....

Clinton had oral sex in the White House with an intern his daughter's age. That is called tax subsidized adultery. The blue dress proved it. Where was the feminist outrage then ?

Do we really want Bill C. in the White House again with too much time on his hands ?

Have a feeling McCain does have a temper. I'll reserve my moral outrage for something that I witness with my eyes & ears.

Is this the most atrocious claim the feminists can allegedly come up with ?

Only have 2 reasons to vote for him...Obama & Hillary.
