LOL, seminole. You must not be married or have a girlfriend. I don't know any woman who would take kindly or think it was teasing if her husband or boyfriend playfully called her a "c_nt". That word is the single most detested word among women. If I said to my wife what McCain said, I would be single in a New York minute.

But you are focusing just on that word. The context was him also telling her she "cakes on makeup like a trollop". Doesn't sound like any playful teasing I've ever heard.

Let's face it. He was having a vain moment in front of the cameras and was probably tired and stressed and his wife's teasing was probably the straw that broke the camel's back. Then he said a very very nasty thing to his wife.

So what should we all think of him because of this? I don't know. His temper and lack of self-control scare me a bit. His lack of respect for the person closest to him, his wife, is a little unsettling and distasteful to say the least. For me, it calls into question how honorable he is, if he publicly berates his wife. Honor isn't only about how you hold up to torture in a Vietnamese prison camp. Honor is also about how you treat your family and your fellow man.
