Slog - Comments on The Day in Bizarre/Unintentionally Hilarious Insults http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/the_day_in_bizarreunintentionally_hilari 1) Christopher Hitchens to Andrew Sullivan: "Oh, well, don't be such a lesbian. Get on with it." Because lesbians are... slow? 2) John McCain to his wife Cindy, who teased him gently for his thinning hair in 1992: "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt." Yeah, the C-word: Abusive, lame. But: Trollop? Way to prove you're not too old to govern, Gramps!...

no one said 'cunt' in public in 1992. now my teenage daughter calls her GFs that for laughs.

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 10:39:01 -0800 Comment by mj If my husband called me a cunt in public I don't think he would be my husband for long.
We would be planning his funeral soon afterwards. There are many ways to poison husbands. I could start a web site about it.

This post is actually hilarious as long as it is not my husband saying that .

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 10:41:28 -0800 Comment by Andy Niable What fun it was watching Hitch and Sully go at it on TV. I was hoping for an after-show duel and twenty paces, live on NBC or at least BBC America. Velly British.

And "trollop" makes one wonder if McCain HAS Brit-envy.

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 11:32:19 -0800 Comment by ellarosa well, cindy did chide him about his thinning hair in public, too, to be fair, and an aging guy is likely to be kinda sensitive about that, but...wow. i love that his handlers seem to be in denial about it, too--makes me really look forward to his debates with cool-as-a-cucumber obama.

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 11:46:38 -0800 Comment by infrequent eh, i'm not sure this a good argument against mccain. there's no record of him actually saying this "in public". it's like the obama is a muslim. people want to believe it's true more then they have proof that it's true. (at least from what i understand.)

Yeah, i was in the Marines for 4 years & every conversation was like it took place in a high school boys locker room. i remember a friend after boot camp talking to his Christian mother on the phone and using the fuck word casually a couple of times before catching himself and then apologizing.
One actually gets two days of training weeks before discharge and one of the lessons is on how to deal w/ normal civilians, specifically in the work place (don't yell, cuss, use military jargon etc.).

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 15:23:15 -0800 Comment by treacle Hey... *I* use the word trollop, quite frequently actually. (And I'm certainly not voting McCain.) Ok, sure, it's always within a recognized and accepted humorous context, but still. I also use "hussy", "philanderer", and "bollocks". So there.
