"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?" McCain said at a GOP fund-raiser in Washington.
Advertisements ...only a few news outlets, like the Phoenix New Times in Arizona and the National Journal, have run an Associated Press story reporting McCain's 1998 joke suggesting that Chelsea Clinton was ugly and that Janet Reno and Hillary Clinton were lesbians.

"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?" McCain said at a GOP fund-raiser in Washington. "Because Janet Reno is her father."

...

If McCain has had trouble keeping his story straight, he has enjoyed a charmed life with the national media. Besides largely ignoring McCain's anger issues, the media have run few details of McCain's bouts with malignant melanoma, a deadly form of cancer that can spread quickly throughout the body, and have rarely cited a litany of inappropriate comments by McCain over the years.

...


A July 5 NewsMax.com article quoted former Sen. Bob Smith, a New Hampshire Republican who served with McCain on the Senate Armed Services Committee, as saying, "I have witnessed incidents where he has used profanity at colleagues and exploded at colleagues . . . He would disagree about something and then explode. It was incidents of irrational behavior. We've all had incidents where we have gotten angry, but I've never seen anyone act like that."

...

Democrat Paul Johnson, the former mayor of Phoenix, saw McCain's temper up close. "His volatility borders in the area of being unstable," Johnson has said. ""Before I let this guy put his finger on the button, I would have to give considerable pause."

"I think he is mentally unstable and not fit to be president," former congressman LeBoutillier said.

McCain is an ugly, mean, delusional old man with a bad temper. We need someone to act as a "gnat" and rile McCain into displaying his ugliness for the world to see.

1. yet according to both Bill and Hillary they have a great relationship with him
I just don't get it. It's almost as bad as McCain embrasing Bush after what he did in 2000.

2. We do need someone to get under his skin...
And rile him up...


I believe Obama knows just how to do that. :evilgrin:


Their debates should be very interesting...

5. Hillary's supporters need to know what a foul human being McCain is
he is NO friend of the Clintons, or women, or americans.

4. I am trying to imagine if someone made that joke about my daughter
I would just hate them. Just imagine it. You would be fuming. This was when Chelsea was still an awkward adolescent that her parents should have felt protective for. If some co-worker said it or whatever, I would just say "what an A-hole" and I would never, ever, ever go out of my way to say this person was qualified for a job involving the highest levels of judgment and ethics. But that's just me.

7. It's me too...
It seems beyond comprehension that he could say something like that and still be in the Clinton's good graces. I would be seething with a deep unquenchable loathing at the mere thought of any person who took aim at one of my children like that. Honestly it kinda seems odd... and wrong not to hate him in that circumstance. But, hey, maybe that's just me.

23. I would never forgive someone that said that about my girl or boy.
You can kill me all you want, but the day you hurt my kid is that day you lose all favor with me.

forgive this joke but it came to me and is just as gross and stupid as mccain's jokes are and so it is fitting for him. If mccain had made that joke about my daughter or son, this would have been my response.

Why is john mccain so ungly? Because the Viet Cong hit him with an ugly stick...over and over again.

Okay, flame away, I deserve it.

10. I tell the Chelsea Clinton story to anyone I think is considering voting for McCain.
I wish it would get more media play. People need to see him for the nasty and horrible person that he really is.

11. One of those fake Hillary "supporters" needs to be asked if he or she heard that
joke and whether they think it's funny.

12. I have always thought Chelsea Clinton was very cute
I've never understood the remarks about her looks by Limbaugh and McCain and others. They've always been laughable to me and just made up tripe motivated by a desire by Republicans to see just how psychotic and demented they could be. Chelsea Clinton to me has had that Molly Ringwald, fresh and unadorned girl-nextdoor kind of look.

20. She definitely had an awkward phase
In her early teens but really, who doesn't. I think she's very pretty now.

15. That's a memorable phrase - I like it.
"McCain is an ugly, mean, delusional old man with a bad temper."

That's definitely not someone I want for president.
