7. No problem eleny. I removed what he actually said from my post.

[eleny]

10. I didn't mean it as a slam

But it's so nice for you to amend. :pals:

It really is a horrible thing that McCain is such a disgusting individual. And it's good that you posted about it!

[thepurpose]

12. eleny, I respect your request. Not a slam to me.

[MadMaddie]

8. It's pretty bad....not only sexist but I would say racist....

Here is the joke in all of it's Glory...

Here's the joke in question from 1986:

Did you hear the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly and left to die? When she finally regains consciousness and tries to speak, her doctor leans over to hear her sigh contently and to feebly ask, `Where is that marvelous ape?'

This man hates women, no doubt about it.

[thepurpose]

9. Yes. MadMaddie. Add it to the crap he says to his new wife and how he treated his wife he was still

married to when he married the new one. Women really are just objects to please him.

[MadMaddie]

11. There is something wrong with him, it's not just that he is creepy

there is something really off about him and we have no idea what it is.

[thepurpose]

15. The really weird thing MadMaddie is that his entire campaign staff is creepy. Something is seriously

wrong with these people saying any old thing that comes in their friggin minds and not giving a good crap if it even a close call.

[eleny]

6. I've been hearing about it on the Schultz show

Kick & Rec.

[KaryninMiami]

13. Yup - also because if they aren't nice to McCain, they risk losing access-

they have to earn the opportunity of being able to be near him, never mind to get to ask a question. Then there are those barbecues for the media McCain is so famous for.

[stray cat]

14. There isn't even any context appropriate for that kind of joke

What was the audience - a locker room or a pick up bar? Actually I just read a newspaper article and it was at a conference he was speaking to when he was running for the senate. Its a fund raising joke!

[stray cat]

16. It looks like it was a joke he made at an fund raiser/speech when running for senate

Definitely not a guy I would want to have a beer with......

[patrice]

17. BEASTIALITY + Rape = Woman HATER. Beats what Rev. Wright said all to heck!!

Re :puke: s are soooooo all fucked-up about Sex.

18. haha, Rachel cracks me up

(re: McCain's "authenticity" factor) "There is a FABULOUS collapse happening if any in the media are interested in cataloguing it."
