John McCain's new daughter-in-law

married to son Jack this past weekend. Renee Swift.





U.S. Sen. John McCain of Arizona and his wife Cindy shared in a happy occasion Saturday night – the wedding of their son Jack McCain to Renee Swift, the senator's rep confirms.

The younger McCain, 27, serves as a lieutenant in the Navy, stationed in Guam where he is a helicopter pilot. Swift, 29, a Bay area native, is a captain in the USAF reserve. The couple met in Guam.

The wedding ceremony was held at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral, with a reception following at the California Academy of Sciences, said the rep.

You know that dress had to cost a bundle, too.

I'll hand it to her, though--they say the mother of the groom needs to wear beige, show up and smile--and she checked the blocks! It's the bride's day, not the mother's, or the mother-in-law's!

And he still thinks McCain is a racist. I give up. He's stubborn and made up his mind.

It is quite possible to have a person of color in your family that you care about, but fall into familiar racist societal views of those same people of color in general.

Can I say Strom Thurmond?

I think McCain is as bigoted as can be, and attacks Eric Holder and Susan Rice as surrogates for Obama, like some other Republicans. Are they attacking white Obama administration officials? Uh, no.

Also, he has unending bitterness about his election loss to Obama.He has turned into a vile personality since that loss.

I concede to you too kwassa.


But - Strom Thurmond raped his daughter's mother. At minimum - used his position of power to control and dominate. McCain's son and new DIL appear to have that look of very much in love.


So maybe the son is not the father's child - but his own man making his own decisions?

He adopted his first wife's two boys (her first husband wasn't too swift) and always regarded them as his own. They feel the same way, from all reports. His wife used to support charities including orphanages overseas, which led to the adoption of their daughter Bridget (who was in need of significant medical care, apparently) from Bangladesh:



In the GOP primary back when Bush won, the dirty tricksters suggested she was a "love child."

I honestly don't think McCain's a racist. I think he's a bitter old dude, and I think he was much more effective when he wasn't putting up with Teapublican bullshit about immigration and other "Rile 'em up" issues, and was actually playing his little "Maverick" card, and griping about pork barrel spending. That was a long time ago, though.

Of course, anyone who is still in the Republican Party is putting up with that Tea Party - Crazy Talk - Hater shit. As so many point out, even Reagan would be a Democrat (again) in this environment. He'd be way over in the conservative corner of the Big Tent, but he was one of those guys who didn't want to screw with Social Security--that would make him an enemy of the GOP, right there.

But there IS a SCANDAL in that wedding picture.....a HUGE one!!

The groom is NAVY.... and the bride... AIR FORCE!!!

McCain may never live that down the next time he's having drinks at the Army - Navy Club!!
