My Friends, John McCain Is a Nasty, Nasty Man

Didja hear the one about what a jerk I am?

Geekesque at dailykos: Note to media: John McCain is a disgusting misogynist

Ask yourself what kind of man thinks the following 'joke' is funny:

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 is a man who has opposed equal pay legislation for his entire career and has promised to appoint judges who are actively hostile towards women's rights.

That's one promise we can expect him to keep. Go ahead and ask him what he really thinks he'll do for women as President. He'll just laugh.

McCain was 49 years old when he told this joke at an appearance before the National League of Cities and Towns in Washington D.C. And he didn't learn anything as he aged, as at the age of 61 he said this:

Back in 1998, he odiously declared before a GOP crowd: "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno."

Yet another reason that John McCain is completely unqualified to be President. He's not a nice man.
