McCain Calls Rightwingsparkle "Cunt."

In her dreams

OK, OK - this is an obvious Photoshop and, to the best of my knowledge, Senator John McCain did not call Rightwingsparkle a trollop or a cunt. Would it be irresponsible to speculate?

However, as recently reported in the Raw Story, Sparkie's love object did use the word "cunt" in an angry retort to the wealthy, anorexic, brain-damaged, drug-addicted woman for whom he dumped his first wife. He also used the more quaint aphorism, "trollop:"

“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…

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.

Well, that's just going too far, don't you think? As Sparkie herself said about Randi Rhodes (scroll, combining two Sparkie quotes from the same thread): "My standard is not cussing. It is calling a former first lady a f**king wh*re. Yeah, a bit different than just cussing, wouldn't you say??? ...What prominent Republicans have said such vicious things?"

Heh. Indeed.
