McCain said what about his wife?

The Public Service Administration strikes again with a positively not safe for work (NSFW) video about McCain and his most egregious quote about his wife.

You can find the uncensored video here. The SFW version is here.

Am so ambivalent about the reporting of this incident that, honestly, I won't publish about it here on my blog out of respect for Cindy McCain. I don't see the need to repeat or even make public this incident unless you want to play dirty politics.

I don't care either if you are a so-called progressive like Clift Schechter bringing up the dirt. It's still dirty and still further debases the political process into who gets to digg up and sling more dirt at their contender.

What do you all think?

McCain's CU Next Election Day remark to Cindy

Hi Liza--

I put the video on my site.

Cindy McCain is in a much better position than most abused woman to leave if she wants to. The fact that she doesn't, coupled with the MSM's pass on the story, can only encourage more men like McCain to do it and more women like Cindy to take it.

As far as debasing politics, well, politics are base. Don't confuse politics with the government or the constitution or mom and apple pie. The Bush Adm is an excellent example of influence of politics on governance. It's cynical, deceitful, and overreaching. I don't thnk you can debase it with a single dirty word.

Protect Cindy and you protect McNasty too. This story is telling; why shouldn't people know it?

I see no difference between

I see no difference between this rumor and the alleged Michelle Obama videotape. It's a rumor advanced by people on a certain side of the political spectrum to smear the nominee on other side.

Sure, McCain has a vicious temper and it may well have happened. (And I think the allegations on Michelle Obama are complete bullshit). But McCain's supposed transgression is not on videotape and there's no proof. The alleged reporters that overheard the comment aren't coming forward and they're not being outed and asked about the incident. What we have now is only hearsay. Some lefties are now treating it as 100% true.

Yesterday I got Francis Holland's press release via email (if that's the best term) with the word "c*nt" in the headline - and subject line in the email. Way to go Francis.

Barack Obama will be particularly vulnerable, more so between now and the election. His race, his cultural background, his upbringing etc. make him very vulnerable to a bunch of sleazy lies. This "whitey video" crap is only the beginning.

Words to live by

To the Chinese, freedom is a threat. To the right wingers, criticism of the Catholic Church was a threat. To some folks in Missouri, the fact that I continually bring up issues related to Johnson's shut-ins is a threat. Exactly how do we define a level of 'threat' in this new Gestapo brave new world? Is it in the eye of the beholder?
