McCain called his wife the "C-word."

[Hepburn]

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 a new book on the presumptive Republican nominee will air perhaps the most shocking angry exchange to date.

The Real McCain by Cliff Schecter, which will arrive in bookstores next month, reports an angry exchange between McCain and his wife that happened in full view of aides and reporters during a 1992 campaign stop. An advance copy of the book was obtained by RAW STORY.

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 <cencored>.*” McCain’s excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.

Holy shit....I had no clue he could get THAT out of line! :wow:

1. I beat you to it... Insane McCain called his pill-stealing ex-mistress / second wife "The C Word"

3. I just saw your post....

...but I figures, what the hell, and left my OP up. The more exposure for that nutcase McCain, the better.

I cannot imagine being called that, having the money that Cindy McCain has, and not tell Johnny Boy, "Good-bye." There is NO way I would put up with verbal abuse like that for ANY reason.

Talk about Stepford wife!

[Ian David]

4. Maybe he lays some mean pipe? n/t

[Joe Chi Minh]

41. Deleted by self.

[livetohike]

2. Republican family values

:eyes:

[Hepburn]

5. Can you imagine putting up with someone who treats you like...

...McCain?

WOW!

[livetohike]

13. I've been married for 33 years......

That type of conversation has never happened with us. Nor would I put up with it :grr:.

Cindy McCain is wealthy. Why she puts up with him is beyond me. It's not for his money.

[tishaLA]

27. he supplies her with meds?

[Cant trust em]

6. Did you hear the story about Al Gore making him wait for an hour?

Gore had a meeting with McCain. In order to get into McCain's head, Gore makes him wait in the anteroom for about 45 minutes before the meeting starts. In the meantime McCain is fuming that he has to wait this much time. Of course by the time the meeting takes place John McCain is so irate that he can barely focus on the issue at hand. This is very telling about what kind of leader this guy can be.

7. That would be a fun one to spread around.

We need people to be convinced she's an abused stepford wife. It fits with the psycho/McInsane line that works so well.

[grantcart]

8. Then Lieberman leaned over and said "its b**** not c***".

[Firespirit]

11. DUzy material!

Dunno if it qualifies because of the subject matter, but DAMN that's good.

[cascadiance]

23. And then McCain said "That H*?!!" to which Lieberman said "its w****, not h*! Randi knows that!"

[Forkboy]

44. *SNARF*

:spray:

[tularetom]

9. That's bad enough in itself, but a "trollop"?

This may be the first time in my life I've ever heard a real human use that word.

A trollop. :rofl:

[slor]

10. He may have just shot down...

a large chunk of women voters. What an incredibly offensive thing to say in any situation.

[SwampG8r]

29. the hillary supporters now have 1 more

reason to vote for him when obama wins the nomination :sarcasm:

:popcorn:

[Hepburn]

37. It would be 0-60 MPH in less than 60 seconds for me to get rid of

any man who would use that kind of language around me...let alone to me!

[Frustratedlady]

12. I've always felt she was mentally abused...you can see it in her actions.

Watch how she stands back until the lets her know it's ok to stand by him. The soft voice, when she is praising him as a wonderful husband and father. Bull.

I've never been abused, but I have seen those who have been mentally abused and that's the way they act. He married her because he needed the money.

I also believe the stories about his POW days, when he allegedly gave out info. to keep from being tortured. He's a near carbon copy to what we already have and we don't need 4 more years of that crap.

[roguevalley]

40. she has an ironclad pre-nup too. he's fucked if she leaves. He's

only worth about a few hundred grand himself.

[knixphan]

14. insane in the membrane

Barack has to take this guy out, pronto!

[rurallib]

15. Wow - McCain and I agree on something

I may need to go to bed for the day.

[L0oniX]

16. "C" for Crack whore? ...or Cylon?

[cascadiance]

17. Frack!

[NOLALady]

18. I can't imagine

sharing a life with someone who talks to me in that manner.

Amazing. She must suffer from spousal abuse. Verbal abuse is just as bad (some think worse) as physical abuse.

[liberaldem4ever]

19. Wonder what conservatives will think of that?

Sounds like that won't fit in with their "family values". Wow, as much as I hate his politics, I kind of thought he was a little bit of a "nice guy". That really got blown out of the water with that comment. What kind of man says that to his wife? What kind of politician says something like that with reporters listening? Sounds like a nutcase to me.

21. No wonder that poor woman is addicted to pain pills..

Her life with that old bastard must be nothing but pain....

[knixphan]

22. CYLON!

YES!

Don't let her near the missiles!

[NJmaverick]

24. Hillary supporters please take note

This is the man that will be in the White House if you fail to support Obama.

[billyoc]

25. Well, he just clinched the NASCAR vote.

:rofl:

[Hepburn]

38. Duzy award!

ROFL....:rofl:

[JaneQPublic]

26. Hmmm, the General Election debates could be very interesting. . .

...if the Dem candidate plays it right and manages to trigger a temper tantrum from the old man, for all the world to see.

[zbdent]

28. you know, in 2004, it was shameful that a Pres. candidate made his wealth the old-fashioned way

by marrying into it ... but hey, that was a DEMOCRATIC candidate then ...

[polichick]

30. What a creep - too bad she doesn't have enough self-respect to leave.

[TheWraith]

31. I don't buy it.

McCain's not erudite enough to properly use the word "trollop" in an insult.

[stray cat]

32. not good for recruiting female votes

[QC]

33. He should start hanging out at DU. He would fit right in nowadays. n/t

[npincus]

34. G-d, I WISH we had that on tape!

[Medusa]

35. Okay so my husband has called me a bitch

and I've called him (among other things) a bastard and SOB in the heat of a good fight (love those make-ups) but damn, he's never called me the C word and never in front of anyone else. And if he did? My next order of business would be planning his funreal arrangements. :evilgrin:

Seriously, Cindy is the one with the "fuck you" money in this relationship so how in God's name does he exercise that kind of control over her? Hell, I'd pop pills too if I was married to THAT.

[williesgirl]

36. I just wish this stuff wouldn't hit til after the Repuke convention and about a wk prior to GE when

they'll have no time to field another candidate. rec'd

[Bucky]

39. kiq

:dem: for an officer and a genitalman
:dem:

[LoZoccolo]

42. I hope our nominee knows how to get under his skin and uses that to gain an advantage!

I think either one could do it, actually; I just hope that they actually go ahead with it. Let's see a spectacle during the debates!

[11 Bravo]

43. Spare me your faux outrage.

You have called Senator Clinton both a "bitch" and a "whore" in this very forum. You have forfeited the right to feign huffiness over a gender-related slight.

[Hepburn]

45. LOL....

...I would call Cindy McCain a bitch, too.

Your point?

[samsingh]

46. what a lousy choice for Presiden

[dysfunctional press]

47. i've called my wife by that name any number of times- but always in jest, not anger...

and she uses it herself at times, usually jokingly sometimes derisively to occasionally describe other women and/or their actions.
