Is it OK to call Hillary a bitch?
Mercury News ^ | Nov. 15, 2007 | Staff

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.

No. It’s an insult to myriad generations of female dogs.

“Bitch” isn’t a “curse” word - it is a perfectly legitimate term for a female dog. In Hillary!’s case, I think it is quite fitting.

Well, it WOULD be fitting, assuming we can get some sort of confirmation that she’s actually female (or even human, for that matter!).

>She is a US Senator deserving of respect due the office

Judging by the maggots presently infesting the Senate, I would say that that is about as respectable as pond scum.

When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer "Present" or "Not guilty."

I think we should leave the foul language to the libs. It tends to be their distinguishing characteristic.

Hillary isn’t a female dog, she is a Communist political whore.

Considering what I’ve heard other people call her... I’d say YES.

Bitch is alright by me. I was going to call her the initials from my father’s alma mater.

I always wanted to get him a school sweatshirt.

"Was the audience member a Hillary plant?"

Not unless you would call Bill is a dress a plant.

Jezebel is a more appropriate name.
