There is something undoubtedly disturbing with John McCain and his attitudes towards women. Whether it's calling a teenage Chelsea Clinton ugly, or cheating on and abandoning his first wife after she was disfigured in a car wreck, or taking money from politicians who make jokes about rape, or calling his current wife a trollop and cunt, there seems to be a long-term, troubling pattern emerging with John McCain. The following video gave me the heebie jeebies since it seems to capture these strange and unsettling attitudes towards women. More below the fold.
Meet John McCain the stalker. I know it's a "Saturday Night Live" spoof from 2002, but it appears that John McCain is really enjoying his role as a creepy stalker. I have to give credit to Chris Matthews who surprisingly found this gem for his recent "Chris Matthews Show." Matthews stated that he was "stunned" after showing it, and even his conservative guest commentator, Kathleen Parker, agreed with him and made a comment about hoping this video doesn't go viral on YouTube before the election. I think we should do just that--send it around and hope it goes viral:
Creepy McCain Video
Ironically, the woman in the video resembles Cindy McCain a bit. It's like John McCain playing the male version of Glenn Close in "Fatal Attraction." As Johnny Depp once said:
With any part you play, there is a certain amount of yourself in it. There has to be, otherwise it's just not acting. It's lying.
McCain really worries me, and how any women could vote for him is beyond my comprehension.
Update: Wow..first time on the rec list...thanks everyone! Now let's make this video go viral!
Update II: This turned out to be more of a Rorschach Inkblot Test than I would have thought--everyone sees something different in it and how others will view it. I'm glad there's a variety of opinions on DailyKos.
