The Internet Totally Loves That McCain Called His Wife A C*nt
Remember when John McCain called his wife the worst possible word? Not enough! But that's solved with this sketch from the same YouTube comedy group that made john.he.is, a clever and popular parody of will.i.am's "Yes We Can." In the sketch, a TV news team argues about whether to publicize that the Republican presidential candidate once called Cindy McCain a cunt. The self-aware humor of the team constantly reciting this fact, then saying how if only they were online they could drive the association into people's brains, actually doesn't get old! The clip is below, and warning: half the dialogue is, obviously, an extreme obscenity.
So! I'm not entirely convinced that anyone should care — when choosing a president anyway — that John McCain called his wife a cunt. But then again I'm not convinced anyone should care that Obama's pastor said "God damn America," yet that got loads of media play. Is it actually a decent public service, or at least a clever political/entertaining tactic, to bring up this sixteen-year-old outburst after TV media ignore it?
