A PARAPHRASE OF HIS 2006 COLUMBIA COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS, PROBABLY: “How many fucking times do I have to go to fucking New York this week? How many fucking times can you fucking graduate from fucking Columbia?” – John McCain, biological father of Meg McCabe, Columbia ’07/Twitter ’10. (Game Change, p. 238.)

Stop posting things that actually make me like McCain a little bit again, plz. thx.

“Fucking Meghan is so fucking fat.” -Me, impartial observer, Wonkette ’09

Skwerl Nutz January 23, 2010 at 2:21 pm

thanks wonkette, i would buy book, too drunk to drive to bed, bath…borde…liquor store…meg has big tits.

mollymcguire January 23, 2010 at 2:53 pm

A Columbia diploma is a fucking valuable thing. You don’t just give it away.

DustBowlBlues January 23, 2010 at 2:58 pm

Is “Game Changer” going to keep wonkette in shit to post for the rest of the year? I’m going to have to break down and buy the damn thing. At least I’ll have the chance to do it at “The Open Circle”, the only good independent bookstore in the state, this weekend.

And did he really say this to his own daughter? I’m beginning to think only commie, pinko, fascist, Kenyan/Muslim liberals understand what is appropriate between parents and children. Edwards, at least, didn’t pimp out his own daughter.

It’s fucking raining again and I’m not even in California. Will anyone among the wonkeratti volunteer to come rescue me if this place floods?

Godless Liberal January 23, 2010 at 3:59 pm

My personal favorite passage from the book, from page 279:

“Fuck you! Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!!!”
McCain let out the stream of sharp epithets, both middle fingers raised and extended, barking in his wife’s face. He was angry; she had interrupted him. Cindy burst into tears, but, really, she should have been used to it by now.

Where did FOX News come up with all those colored people for Glenn Bleck’s frank discussion on why colored people are bad for america usa?

Black board, white board. Good stuff.

Can you imagine how upset he would be now after Rush Limbaugh informed us all that New York is full of Jews?

Now I know exactly how the inhabitants of Trúc Yen Village felt in October of 1967.

Wow! And NYC is what, like a five minute flight from DC?

Imagine how pissed he was when he had to fly all the way to Calcutta for his black daughter’s graduation from Two-Dollar-Mumbai-Harlot/Dell-Tech-Support School.

[re=500056]Godless Liberal[/re]: John McCain is literally a barbaric yawp.

I’ll row up in my boat. It’s our third day of rain in Southern Arizona. I keep thinking, “At least we might have wildflowers this spring.” But that also means beaucoups weeds sprouting up through all the gravel. There’s a cloud in every silver lining.

And on topic: McCain is a rude bastard and Cindy is spineless. It’s bad enough that he would speak to his wife and kids like that — BUT HE SPENDS HER MONEY! And if it’s PTSD, that really proves he shouldn’t hold public office.

Lionel Hutz Esq. January 23, 2010 at 5:39 pm

Once they get a little seniority, the donors can’t wait to shower the candidates w/moniez. Only a few knuckleheads like Corzine spend their own $$.

[re=500056]Godless Liberal[/re]:

So, what actually does Cindy get from this marriage? She has the money, which he used to start his career in politics. She owns a beer empire and actively works in her own company. She has great homes, clothes, and a high quality of life. For a husband, she has a man who is verbally abusive and is a major suck of income. Her daughter seems to have inherited her talent and common sense from her father, who can credit every stage of his success to family connections or money. Sure, Cindy lives on opposite sides of the continent from him most of the year, but really why stay married to this troll?

ForTheTurnstiles January 23, 2010 at 7:07 pm

[re=500084]Terry[/re]: If she gets off on being the wife of a U.S. Senator more than she hates being an abused wife of a U.S. Senator, then she’s coming out ahead. Since she’ll never be a first lady, the whole abusive husband thing loses some of its mystique I suspect.

She won’t be the wife of a senator for long though. McCain is going to pull a Coakley this re-election. He won’t survive the primary.

Jim89048 January 23, 2010 at 7:49 pm

If the estimable Mrs. McCain wishes to disentangle herself and start fresh, I’d be willing to sign a pre-nup wherein she could keep almost ALL of her sweet AB fortune, and I’d promise not to verbally or physically abuse her, and be a good step-dad to her many kids for just long enough to get my hands on my share of the aforementioned sweet AB fortune. We’re about the same age, and I’ve got my own pain pills…

Lionel Hutz Esq. January 23, 2010 at 8:52 pm

[re=500077]imissopus[/re]: [re=500086]stew[/re]: I thought that John had to fly up and pay off Megs last record from the Columbia House Record Club.

That being said, the answer to his question is five.

Imagine his shock when he found out his daughter was one of the Ivy League elite. I’ll bet she paid for it by getting a cock right in the mouth.

Chances are that you won’t live long enough to know the answer to that question.

There goes McCain,
filling up his pants again.
Captain Viagra is steamed!
What’s it this time?
Some tea-potty nut

Question: Can Sarah go against the tea-potty

Where’s Glenn Beck when you don’t need him?
Oh, no! Another breach!

drrty martini January 24, 2010 at 10:33 am

Juli, this post made me fall in love with you on, like, 15 different levels. Megs needs you as a ghost writer. One of these days, she’ll come to her senses.

SayItWithWookies January 24, 2010 at 12:54 pm

In fairness, lots of people say stuff they wouldn’t want repeated, often bitchy things they don’t really mean. But in further fairness, John McCain seems like he’s probably an asshole most of the time as a person. And in further fairness, if John McCain had thought being a father meant more than berating his daughter about how she was fat and/or a general inconvenience, he wouldn’t be the grabby, showboating, skirt-chasing lying weasel who hides his corruption and shriveled humanity behind a veneer of service and honor and whose withered husk of a marriage makes George and Martha’s in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolfe look like the Haskells’. And who would want that?

I just stop talking when I am interrupted, which apparently makes people a lot more angry than yelling at them for some strange reason.

And yes, I am aware that this does make me a whore, though i prefer the term “golddigger”. But I live in LA, so that’s taken as a compliment.

But for serious, this is like some serious domestic battery shit.

[re=500128]glamourdammerung[/re]: Well, yeah, because it’s rude as fuck. The Silent Treatment is a great way to tell the world you’re not above being passive-aggressive or pouty to avenge someone else’s rudeness to you.

Godless Liberal January 24, 2010 at 4:22 pm

[re=500128]glamourdammerung[/re]: Ever since I read that book, whenever someone interrupts me, I call Cindy McCain and swear at her. It doesn’t stop the other person from interrupting me, and I feel like a Grade A douche, but John does it and he’s a Senator so maybe it’s the secret to success.

I just always wondered why that was seen as so offensive.

If you were going to do the “McCain”, you should probably threaten and/or strike her. Though he tends to only do that with people that would never be able to hit back, so he might not do that one with the wife as she like 150 or so years younger than him.

Gopherit January 25, 2010 at 11:02 am

I’m actually liking Cindy….just a little…..since she post for the Gay Marriage ad.

And what kind of fucking power does McCain have that he can say this kind of shit in front of press and it never gets leaked? Well, not for years, anyway.
