Trollopgate Redux
If you missed it the first time we reported it, John McCain called his wife a “trollop” and a “c**t” back in 1992. Keep in mind that this wasn’t in that catty, sarcstic kind of way you would use “trollop” and “c**t” with your friends. Like “Hey C**t! You wanna go to Orange Julius and get some Primo Nachos? Ok, see you at 6. Keep it trollopy!” This was more like a “My hatred of women is so great that I can barley contain my misogynistic rage, even in front of my campaign aides and the press.”
And yes. He did say this all to her in front of a group of people.
A few days ago when Marty Parrish asked about the incident at a own hall in Des Moines, a startled John McCain could barely believe his virgin ears. That is clearly not the kind of language one should use in mixed company. Those words should only be used when referring to Cindy McCain. But then, she is a trollopy c**t…
Here is the video of Marty Parrish’s question from FireDogLake:
What I find most shocking about this is that in ‘92 McCain was in his mid-fifties! He was barely old enough to know who Martin Luther King Jr. was, let alone be ranting and raving like some x-rated Archie Bunker. Who talks like that? Was he practicing his lines for a dinner theater production of Glenn Gary Glenn Ross and forgot to tell anyone?
Anyway, I would expect to see this come back to bite McCain in the general election never hear about this from the mainstream media.
Keep it trollopy.
