FYI…. I haven’t listened to Rush in years.

I’ve got a sample of one of those premier political discussions right here Binky. Folks can decide for themselves if it sounds vile and hate-mongering.

UPDATED: McCain is getting $58k/yr for being "disabled"

Let's jump right to the comments section.

I get about $4800 a year for being disabled. But I'm not married to some slut that is worth $100 million. Bummer. If only I had been a power-hungry shit bag like McSame I might have played my cards right.

Pick some better language I'm giving you a hide, just because I don't think using the word "slut" is justifiable at all.

Cindy McCain might have been a pill-popper, a thief, and a homewrecker, but the word "slut" is inappropriate and offensive.

Pill popper, thief and homewrecker are more acceptable than slut?

They are all verifiable charges.
She stole pills from a medical-aid charity in order to feed her drug habit:

Phoenix News, Events, Restaurants, Music from Phoenix, AZ - Phoenix New Times...

She also began dating McCain while he was still married to his first wife:

Home | Mail Online...

So I can back up those charges with facts. They aren't pretty, but neither is Mrs. McCain's history.

Oh, I agree but I didn't quite understand the outrage people had at the word slut. What I've read suggests it fits as well as the other terms. Beginning with the daily mail article you link to.

LOL
Maybe it's just me, but wouldn't most people prefer being called a slut to being called a pill-popper, thief or homewrecker? And isn't homewrecker just a subset of slut anyway?

Not arguing with the HR, but I think it's funny that you HR and then call her worse names in your admonition comment.

I think the point is that the thief, homewrecker, and pill-popper labels are all factually based.

The slut epithet is just a nasty word for a woman you don't like that implies promiscuity, as far as I know, it doesn't apply to Cindy McCain.

It really pisses me off to HR this... ...first, I don't like the "S" word and it shows an underlying disrespect for women, which ruffles my feathers. And then there's the matter of my comment in your particular thread which only TU's can read now, dammit! Why couldn't you have kept your wits & previewed your comment and re-phrased it intercaust?

Is your disability being a giant *******? If so, you ARE being underpaid.
