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.

EXCELLENT question, vietvet.
Wonder if The Associated Quislings will ask her?
...rigggggggght.
This Sanchez fella ought’a change his panties...
No. Its an insult to female dogs, everywhere.
Considering most of her own supporters admit and LIKE the fact that she's a cold-hearted ball busting bitch, I say yes.
The woman's name is Mrs. William J. Clinton. Mrs. B.J. Clinton. Mrs. Bill Clinton. She is not a real person, but an appendage of Mr. Clinton, without whom you would have never heard of her.
It must be made clear to the American Public that a vote for her is a vote for another term for her husband. What Nutso McCain, War Hero and Loose Cannon has just done is assure Bill Clinton's wife more sympathy.
Job 1 is to discredit her by tying her closely to Bill Clinton and his misdeeds, which she aided and abetted. At this point in our history, American women are about to vote for a rapist's enabler, who did everything but hold her husband's victims down. After he was through with them, it was her job to keep them silent by any means, including physical force.
The truth is the absolute defense.
yes.
Next question.
Is it OK to call Hillary a bitch?
if by saying it and it is but the is is not in the first place then no it is not ok
If the broom fits!
If
RENO’S or The Muslim aid’s
Billdo fits . . .
It is rather insulting to all female dogs.
Well, it certainly insults female dogs everywhere....
IMO, calling a certifiable BITCH a bitch is okay.
No! It really needs to have an adjective, that begins with an F and ends with ing before it...
See You Next Tuesday, Hillary
Hillary is a Motie! And not one of the nice “negotiator” ones either.
Frankly, being a civilian all my life, I see no legitimate reason to "salute the rank". She's a Senator, elected by either an incredibly stupid voter base or through excessive voter fraud (or both). She's certainly not earned the title, and in fact, she cheapens it. Senator meant something many decades ago, but when it became the title for the likes of Ted Kennedy, Hitlery Clinton, and the like, that meaning disappeared.
In a free-speaking society, I admire someone that sees past the royalty of title and calls it as he sees it. Even if that someone is McCain.
the word ugly needs to be put in front of “bitch”....
