Mad Bomber McCain's crude Chelsea Clinton joke
John McCain made this odious joke about Chelsea Clinton back in '98.
Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno."
- Sen. John McCain, speaking to a Republican dinner, June 1998.
Not only is McCain's hideous attempt at humor about 10 times more
tasteless than what Shuster said (as the David Corn article notes,
newspapers that re****ted on the joke wouldn't even print it), but while
the
newsman's ill-conceived comment was at least spontaneous, McCain's joke
was
a prepared remark to a public audience.
Maybe McCain has more in common with Limbaugh than Rush thinks. The
straight
talk express should be ashamed of himself.
The Republican party apparently thinks McCain, with his public crudeness
and
stooping to the lowest common denominator, should be president and
therefore
our role model. We've had seven-plus years of that abhorrent behavior.
That's
the problem. Enough is enough. Can we become a nation of civility again?
Bomber McCain is manifestly a nut.
He is the most hostile and angry candidate out there.
He has worked to simulate a speaking sound that is moderate in tone, but
it
obviously masks rage.
He is dangerous and nasty.
FOX loves him.
