McCain to his wife Cindy, in public: <At least I don¹t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you c**t.¹> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Source/Letters: The Progressive Populist <populist @ usa.net> (close spaces) Link: www.populist.com/08.8.dispatches.html LONG DAYS FRAY TEMPER. A new book, The Real McCain by Cliff Schecter, reports an angry exchange between McCain and his wife that happened in view of aides and reporters during a 1992 campaign stop. According to RawStory.com, which received an advance copy, Schecter wrote that in his 1992 Senate campaign, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. ³At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain¹s hair and said, You¹re getting a little thin up there.¹ McCain¹s face reddened, and he responded, At least I don¹t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you c**t.¹ McCain¹s excuse was that it had been a long day.² Schecter added, ³If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.² Schecter, who also blogs at Agonist.org, told Raw Story the anecdote was confirmed by three reporters and is ³an early example of his uncontrollable temper.² In the book he outlines several other examples of McCain losing his cool and raises the question of how that would affect a McCain presidency. The exchange between McCain and his wife was not reported anywhere when it happened, Schecter said. Raw Story noted that a LexisNexis database search confirmed this. In 1992, McCain¹s mention in the national media revolved mostly around his involvement in the Keating Five scandal.
