John McCain thinks rape jokes make him "authentic"

John McCain is not funny. We've had eight years of Bush being Bush and look where that has gotten us.

How can anyone, even in 1986 think that is funny. I'm sickened.

Maybe someone should rape McCain, and see how fucking funny he thinks rape is, then. Asshole.

Rape is funny? Rape is never funny.

No. Friends or no friends, 20 years ago or yesterday, it's not forgivable.

Exactly.

Well, it would of been 1988, but I'll stop.
