McCain Loves Women, Or Not
June 27th 2008 12:33
McCain's love of women has been interesting political fodder. His divorce from his first wife and hasty marriage to the younger and richer Cindy has been brought up time and time again as an example of how you can be expected to be treated by McCain. Even Cindy has had to suffer his contempt with terms such as "cunt" and "trollop" tossed at her.
Of course his temper is well known and not just limited to the women in his life. McCain has a reputation of having a nasty temper that leads him to explode at others. Explosions that too often includes cursing and insulting those he disagrees with. Now we can include making spousal abuse jokes to the already impressive resume of this hot head.
According to an article at BlogHer by Erin Kotecki Vest, McCain felt he was being asked a loaded question and responded with an old joke on loaded questions and beating wives.
Perhaps I'm just "hysterical" and "emotional", as well as the other terms thrown at women to discredit their opinions, but I don't find this funny at all. Yes, I understand the meaning of the joke. Ask a man when he stopped beating his wife then turn the answer against him. If he says never, because he never beat his wife, you take the never to mean he has not stopped. If he gives a date then use it to show he is guilty of beating his wife. McCain is trying to defuse a loaded question he was asked.
I'm still not laughing.

(Chuckling) And I stopped beating my wife just a couple of weeks ago….
