Mrs. McCain reminds me of the Stepford wives that I encountered so often when married to my second husband, who was 26 years my senior and a member of the Jonathan Club. http://www.jc.org/
When you went to the club for an event it was as if they’d stamped the ladies out on a cookie-cutter assembly line upstairs. But then I fit the blond/blue/thin/Chanel suit mold too—until I got the tatoos, Amy Winehouse hair and tongue studs in the shape of a peace sign. (ha)
I greatly prefer Michelle Obama, Jackie Kennedy and Teresa Kerry who by comparison seem bien dans sa eau (while McCain does not), lively, individualistic, very intelligent and I admire Michelle Obama because she is a Princeton and Harvard Law School grad and didn’t have money handed to her. Plus she looked fantastic in that purple dress, and works out and has terrific arms. Although I realize that she will be much more criticized because she is outspoken, while Cindy McCain will always play it safe.
Cindy McCain wouldn’t be my kind of gal, someone like Angela Bassett when she torched her husband’s suits and BMW in “Waiting To Exhale” is infinitely more fascinating. Plus, don’t understand why she’d stay married to Granddad when she has $100 Mil…I’d leave for Lake Como on the next plane.
Although, I do like the pearls, and both of the wives have made Best Dressed lists. So chuck the policy watch. For the next 5 months it’s be, “What’s on the parade of fashions, today?” Staring Boring Barbie vs Attitude Barbie.

roflmao that is sooooo funny! Either that or I’m punchy from no sleep.
“tatoos, Amy Winehouse hair and tongue studs in the shape of a peace sign”—kidding. Not that there’s anything wrong with that and neon purple and green spiked hair.
I believe she likes the guy—they have adopted kids together. Yes, I know—he snapped at her when she twitted his balding head. He snaps at everyone, I heard. I laughed when I read a comment about her from a young male on another site: Something t the effect that he could not be all washed up because he married a babe who owned a beer distributorship. I think the beer part figured prominently for this guy. It’s a varied electorate.

Phyllis: Yes indeed—he needs to get his head outta his ass.
Both I would say are bad. No question. Are we now on a kick to get HER to leave her husband? She has her own life, her own charities, and does good work from what I have heard. I think she likes him… Just one gal’s opnion. Over the years, I have been called names by men in my life. It is unconscionable. But people do go on living.
Who’s saying she should leave her husband? Any woman who’s married to a man that calls her a cunt is just that–––––married to a man that calls her names. Obviously, people go on living. That wasn’t the point which is it tells us more about McCain himself.
Ms. Phyll,
:O
Are you serious?
Did he call her a C?
What?
Ok, here is a q for wow …. how many of us have been called the C word or B word by someone that “loves” us? And was only once or a favorite little pet name?
Ms. Star,
I forget that the wealthy have issues too …. I know that can’t be a pet name …. I guess I was asking how many women are mentally and verbally abused by someone that “loves” them?
I talk about my home life on account I have nothing to lose … I don’t really think too much about the golf club set? Can you imagine what that would be like? Everything to lose … face, friends, money and all the rest? Makes a person think and then think again. I bet women that are in this sitchway feel really trapped. Me, I am on the way up and out and like I said have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
I don’t want to get anything started but if McCain can his is wife a C and he LOVES her what kind of president will he make? Can just think about that for a minute? (shaking head)
those names? perhaps he’s called you things that in his mind were far more derogatory — would bitch have been more to your liking? how about something Shakespearean like “vessel of venom”? he’s human and as we all are to some extent he’s imbued with a culture that becomes more crass and misogynistic every day — i think it’s inevitable blowback that comes from feminism, just like the latent racism that has resulted from affirmative action

Not to mention some of the language acquired from Annapolis, aboard an air craft carrier, in Viet Nam and as a prisoner and possibly the US Senate. I admit I am disturbed by the story. Suzanne once posted a site where one could hear the actual conversation but I never got there. So, I am taking the benefit of the doubt here. I might quote from that great western novel, The Virginian, by Owen Wister that is not necessarily the word you say but how you say it.
