John McCain, Closet Bigamist?

Why buy the cow when you can get two cows?Everybody knows the sad story about how John McCain catted around on his crippled wife with a fetching young beer heiress. But now it appears he was actually sort of married to both Mrs. McCains at the same time, in the sense that he had a marriage license with #2 before his divorce to #1 had been finalized! Why does John McCain hate America?

John McCain was such an amoral dingus back in the day that even the Reagans held it against him.

John McCain, who calls himself “a foot soldier in the Reagan revolution,” said in his memoir: “My divorce from Carol, whom the Reagans loved, caused a change in our relationship. Nancy . . . was particularly upset with me and treated me on the few occasions we encountered each other after I came to Congress with a cool correctness that made her displeasure clear.

“I had, of course, deserved the change in our relationship.”

Correction: John McCain does not hate America. He is a fleet-footed American hero romancer who probably already has like six marriage licenses lined up for his next string of brides.

    That…that’s not ch-ch-change you b-b-believe in! (Heh.)

  2. RuperttheBear says at 10:52 am, July 11th, 2008

    This will pull in the Romney supporters.

  3. Dave J. says at 10:53 am, July 11th, 2008

    Sadly, this makes the chances of a Mittens VP nomination all the less likely, as Walnuts has just locked up the LDS vote with his brilliant calculated bigamy.

  4. NoWireHangers says at 10:54 am, July 11th, 2008

    WALNUTS! looks like a white haired John Levitz in that picture.

  5. Larry Fine says at 10:55 am, July 11th, 2008

    Maybe McCain will pick Rudy Guilliani as his VP, so McCain will look like a decent husband in comparison.

  6. HandsomePete says at 10:59 am, July 11th, 2008

    Wow, the first divorced President disapproved of someone else divorcing. Thanks, dickweed.

    VERY nice alt on the image, Sara..

  9. GIJoeIce says at 10:59 am, July 11th, 2008

    Also why does Nancy Reagan get to approve or disapprove of who other people marry?

    GIJoeIce: Nancy Reagan is the blow-job queen

  11. See what happens when you let the gays get hitched?

  12. Anita Cocktail says at 11:07 am, July 11th, 2008

    John McCain: the gift that keeps on giving.

  13. This is going to be fun when the pundits pick it up!

    Oh, wait.

    Nevermind. Let’s hear some more about Barry’s imperiled nuts.

  14. graceless says at 11:09 am, July 11th, 2008

    Big Love

  15. Monsieur Grumpe says at 11:09 am, July 11th, 2008

    I think I finally understand this family values thing. It’s more of the bargain values than the moral values. Two wives at once must be a heck of a deal.

  16. S.Luggo says at 11:18 am, July 11th, 2008

    Does this mean that once Juan is in office, he will divorce Iraq and marry Iran? Of course, I’m using “marry” in the Biblical sense.

  17. nbawriter says at 11:20 am, July 11th, 2008

    I thought that signing the divorce papers with Cindy’s “lipstick remnants” was a classy touch.

  18. JamesMichaelCurley says at 11:22 am, July 11th, 2008

    Will Walnuts reveal his prenup? His Navy medical records? His VA records?

  19. Paultardville says at 11:23 am, July 11th, 2008

    What sucks is this pretty much proves he really likes women, so no gay sex scandal for him.

  20. Walter Sobchak says at 11:27 am, July 11th, 2008

    Paultardville: Foolish. The more adamantly Straight and Married a Republican appears, the gayer he is. Except in the case of Charlie Crist, who of course proves the inverse.

  21. toastandlove says at 11:32 am, July 11th, 2008

    McCain drinks the blood of his wives to stay alive, then discards them. That is why he is exactly 873 years old but looks a mere 300.

  22. joygasm says at 11:34 am, July 11th, 2008

    No longer content with denying the gays the right to marry, Republicans begin taking on multiple wives as the ultimate “fuck you.”

  23. pattycake says at 11:36 am, July 11th, 2008

    Nancy was the first second wife to be First Lady of a divorced president, so she’d know.

  24. Rev. Peter Lemonjello says at 11:44 am, July 11th, 2008

    RuperttheBear: Only if WALNUTS! will wear magic adult diapers.

  25. MoodProcessor says at 11:45 am, July 11th, 2008

    When asked about his concurrent marriages McCain replied, “I don’t know enough about this to answer right now. (Looks to corner of room, inflates cheeks defensively) But, I will get back to you on this today.”

  26. WhatTheHeck says at 11:46 am, July 11th, 2008

    See, if johnnie boy was muslim, this wouldn’t be news.

  27. MoodProcessor says at 11:46 am, July 11th, 2008

    btw, was Chris Dodd a part of the McCain nuptials?

  28. Dave J. says at 11:48 am, July 11th, 2008

    NoWireHangers: Walnut explains his green-screen speech thusly: “I was merely ACT-ING!”

  29. mookworthjwilson says at 11:48 am, July 11th, 2008

    I hear next he is going to drop the cunty trollop and shack up with the Slim Slack Slut…

  30. nbawriter says at 11:48 am, July 11th, 2008

    Wait … McCain has multiple wives … Osama bin Laden has multiple wives …

    Secret Muslim Terrorist! Manchurian Candidate!

  31. ForeignSickSpecialist says at 11:50 am, July 11th, 2008

    Nancy told him to Just Say No! He had to go and Just Say Yes.

  32. V572625694 says at 11:53 am, July 11th, 2008

    GIJoeIce: Why does Nancy Reagan get to approve or disapprove of who other people marry? Because of the royal funeral her late husband received, she is now the sole earthly authority on what is Good and what is Not Good. And a quick gander at the pictures of her accompanying the LA Times story will confirm that there’s nobody scarier than this old bird.

  33. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 11:59 am, July 11th, 2008

    “[Nancy Reagan] treated me on the few occasions we encountered each other…with a cool correctness that made her displeasure clear.”

    Crystal clear, I’d imagine, since Nancy’s normally such a bubbly little teddy bear.

  34. anabellum says at 11:59 am, July 11th, 2008

    JamesMichaelCurley: McCain wont release his prenup because hes referred to as Bad Poodle throughout the document…

  35. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 12:01 pm, July 11th, 2008

    toastandlove: That would explain Cindy’s pasty complexion. Well, that, and the fact that she’s probably been mainlining formaldehyde for years now.

  36. joygasm: Commenty Awesomeness!

    Everyone knows that marriage is defined as the union of a man and at least one woman. More if you’re a real stud.

  37. randomsausage says at 12:16 pm, July 11th, 2008

    Frankly, I want my leaders to be like Dogs with Two Dicks. Look where Dubya’s stable marriage got us? 8 years of pain ‘n heartache ‘n economic depression. Compare and contrast to the good ole days under poon-hound Clinton’s reign. Obama needs to start swinging his schlong around if he wants my vote….

  38. Deepthroat says at 12:20 pm, July 11th, 2008

    wasn’t Nancy gang-banging the entire Rat Pack?

  39. Uncle Al says at 12:21 pm, July 11th, 2008

    Getting hated by Nancy Reagan is the first thing I’ve heard about McSenile that makes me sort of like him a tiny bit….

  40. Vanity Smurf says at 12:22 pm, July 11th, 2008

    The Trollope looks like some kind of trailer park Kim Novak in that picture. What the hell is that thing on the dress that’s trying to strangler her? McNasty looks like the retarded kid from high school wearing Andy Warhol’s wig.

  41. Vanity Smurf says at 12:25 pm, July 11th, 2008

    Uncle Al: Let me talk you back from that ledge. Nancy hated everybody who wasn’t sending her free ball gowns, handbags, or astrological charts.

  42. gurukalehuru says at 12:41 pm, July 11th, 2008

    Shades of Andrew Jackson. Of course, he never crashed five planes and didn’t call his wife a trollopy cunt, at least as far as we know.

  43. shortsshortsshorts says at 12:42 pm, July 11th, 2008

    WALNUTS was merely planting his seed in as much of America as possible.

  44. columnv says at 1:05 pm, July 11th, 2008

    mookworthjwilson: I’d stick with the trollop.

  45. Intrepid says at 1:11 pm, July 11th, 2008

    What drugs was johnnie mac using when he crashed into the aircraft carrier and got shot down by a guy in pajamas with a pistol?

  46. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 1:12 pm, July 11th, 2008

    Considering Nancy broke up the Gipper’s first marriage, I don’t think she has a right to be judgmental. Hell, if a Republican cannot leave his crippled wife for money and a younger wife, he might as well just go to an airport and tap his foot.

  47. Botswana Meat Commission FC says at 1:13 pm, July 11th, 2008

    Actually, the personal disapproval of Nancy Reagan would be a highlight in my autobiography.

  48. Botswana Meat Commission FC says at 1:14 pm, July 11th, 2008

    Uncle Al:
    Shit. I stole your comment.

  49. lawrenceofthedesert says at 1:27 pm, July 11th, 2008

    pattycake: Your comment — “first second wife to be First Lady to a divorced President” — was convoluted/great; it reminded me of the old song, “I’m My Own Grandpa.” Which McPain might be!

  50. WALNUTS!: serial bigamist.

  51. shortsshortsshorts: He’s a regular Johnny WALNUTSeed!

    Vanity Smurf: “free ball gowns” lol, Nancy loves the free balls.
