John McCain Has A Sick Sense Of Humor
 Wednesday, July 16th, 2008  by Connie T.

You know Republican Senator John McCain's political stance on the issues. (And if you don't, best be visiting here for a list of his voting record--no journalist bias included.) But do we really know John McCain, the man?

The glimpses we've seen of his personality and his sense of humor haven't been pretty. He seems to be more than a little bit off, to put it mildly.

There was that time that he chuckled over his supporter referring to Hillary Clinton as a "bitch."

And that other time, when he sang the Beach Boys' "Barbara Ann" to his audience, but replaced the refrain with "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran."

In another dig at a female member of the Clinton family, John McCain joked at a Republican dinner (years before the current election season), "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno."

And now, a blogger has dug up an article from the Tuscan Citizen that reveals McCain was ruffling NOW's feathers over 20 years ago. In March of 1986, John McCain told the following "joke" at a city meeting in Washington, D.C.:

"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'?"

John McCain the man gives all indications of being a person that takes war, violence, and even sexual assault as being fodder for a sick sense of humor.

Is it even imaginable what our country might be like under a rule absent compassion?
