I’ve wanted to ask: Why is McCain referred to as McQueeg on this discussion forum? What does McQueeg mean?

It’s a portmantau of McCain and Capt. Queeg, of “The Mutiny on the Bounty”

In the movie "The Caine Mutiny" Humphry Bogart plays Captain Queeg of the minesweeper Caine. He is a little crazy and some of the crew mutiny. Queeg is eerily similar to McCain.
