thinkprogress.org — A 1986 Tucson Citizen article recounts a joke about rape told by Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). Speaking to the National League of Cities and Towns in Washington, DC, McCain told a joke about rape. He was swiftly criticized by women?s groups. A spokeswoman for NOW in Arizona said the organization?s members were ?incensed by his cruel and sexist remark.?

He doesn't "recall" saying the joke? If that isn't proof he did it, nothing is. IE: "I won't flat out deny it, since there's the possibility there might be some credible witnesses or even tape of me saying that. And claiming to not remember gives me an out if I get caught". See Alberto "I don't recall" Gonzales for about a thousand examples of just that defense.If he hadn't said it, or if he had and knew they couldn't prove it, he would have flatly denied it.

Boy oh boy. Once that emotionless mask comes off we really see his true character. Some may call it tabloid fodder but any insight into this mans mind should be weighed and judged come election day. Compile it with the rest and we have a very nasty character here. Knowledge is power. Vote Obama.

Eh, come on... most people have made some "sick joke" in the past 22 years. Ever tell a dead baby joke? The difference is knowing when to keep those jokes in private though.

Good catch. Allow me to correct:When my dog eats *your mother*, it seems to cheer him up, too.

McCain seem like a pretty relaxed guy, I think you should be able to joke about stuff like that. Not that the joke was very good but anyway...

McAlzheimer's the worthless war lord! Worse than Reagan ever was!!! But was hated by Reagan for leaving his crippled wife for young beer, heiress Cindy, (who became a drug abuser and who stole funds for her drugs from her own charity!) These are not nice people folks!!!
