US Republican presidential hopeful John McCain has caused an uproar after he laughed when an audience member called Democratic rival Hillary Clinton a "bitch" instead of telling the woman off.
At a campaign event on Monday, the woman asked Senator McCain, "How do we beat the bitch?''
Senator McCain laughed along with the crowd as he said, "May I give the translation?''
"That's an excellent question,'' he said.
"I respect Senator Clinton. I respect anyone who gets the nomination of the Democratic Party.''
Overnight, Senator McCain said his response to the woman's comment was "appropriate", the Associated Press reported.
"She made a comment, I made light of the comment, and then I said very seriously I treated and continue to treat Senator Clinton with respect and I've said that many times,'' he said.
When asked whether he thought the woman's comment was funny, Senator McCain said he laughed because he wanted to move on.
"I can't dictate what other people say - that's not my business,'' he said.
Yesterday,CNN journalist Rick Sanchez raised the question of whether Senator McCain should have admonished the woman.
"Most people who have seen it are looking at it as a real mistake on his part in terms of the way he handled it,'' Sanchez said on the cable network's Out in the Open.

“CNN journalist Rick Sanchez raised the question of whether Senator McCain should have admonished the woman.”
Uh, the last I checked, that action crossed the line from “journalist” to “editorialist.”

the woman asked Senator McCain, "How do we beat the bitch?" McCain has no chance of beating his GOP rivals let alone the cucking funt in the other party.

Only if it's the truth. I think everyone here is smart enough to make that determination.

It’s inappropriate. She is a US Senator deserving of respect due the office.
