Get
used to future US president's sense of humor(!):
1- McCain was recently joking for
suggesting that increasing U.S. cigarette sales to Iran could be
"a way of killing 'em."
2- McCain told Fox news a few years
ago that "The French remind me a little bit of an aging actress of
the 1940s who is still trying to dine out on her looks but doesn't
have the face for it,"
3- "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?'"
4- McCain's gags about women's looks
came in 1998, when
Chelsea Clinton was 18. "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?"
he asked guests at a Senate Republican fundraiser. "Because her
father is
Janet Reno."
5- In 1999, in the course of apologizing for his joke about
Clinton — which he called "insensitive and stupid and cruel" — he
recalled for reporters another bad joke: ''I said, 'The nice thing
about Alzheimer's is you get to hide your own Easter eggs.'"
6- During his 1986 campaign, he referred to a retirement
community called "Leisure World" as "Seizure World."
7- And earlier this year, McCain responded to a question with
the line, "And I stopped beating my wife just a couple of weeks
ago," provoking a round of tut-tutting for his reference to the
old classic example of a leading question.
