McCain has temper tantrum over having to wear a "gay sweater"
Edited on Wed Jul-11-07 01:51 PM by NewJeffCT

McCain dislikes wearing ‘gay sweaters.’Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) reportedly is complaining about his aides forcing him to wear “gay sweaters” in order to look younger:

According to one insider, the knit-picking was the crescendo of a tirade by the Arizona senator, in which he blistered aides about the minutiae of the campaign. … McCain reportedly declared his frustration with being told to don the perceived homosexual outerwear in order to look younger and more approachable.


http://thinkprogress.org/2007/07/11/mccain-dislikes-wearing-gay-sweaters/

just makes me want to sing - "Don me now this gay apparal"

And how did McCain determine that his sweater was gay?

12. Ha! As if you needed another...
I don't think the "gay sweater" comment is going to go over well with the "swing" voters.

2. I've been knitting a long time, and I don't know what that is.
What makes a sweater gay? Last I checked, yarn doesn't have a sexual persuasion. Is it the color or the cut or the pattern? I don't get it.

8. We should ask him for his definition of it
Senator, how did you determine that your sweater was a "gay" sweater? And, is there a certain level of "gayness" that is acceptable in a sweater and how do you determine if a sweater is "too gay" or just gay enough for you?

81. I know I'd ask him.
If they're rainbow-colored or hot pink, then I'd get it, but I never see him in those colors. Is it gay if it looks good and is nice and soft? Odd.

It must be color, don't you think? Pink, lime green? Maybe we can find patterns if we google 'gay sweaters'? McCain is freakin nuts.

"Sweater? I have no sweater!" Senator and White House hopeful disowns fey garment
Edited on Wed Jul-11-07 01:47 PM by kenny blankenship
"Other mens' sweaters would play on the football team -or at least try out for it. Other mens' sweaters begged for BB guns and motorbikes for Christmas. My sweater preferred needlepoint and decoupage. My sweater asked for a sewing machine under the Christmas tree. Other mens' sweaters got in trouble for keeping their highschool girlfriends out too late on dates. My "sweater" got picked up by the vice squad walking in the park after midnight and he was not alone. Sweater? I don't own one. I NEVER HAD ANY SWEATER."

54. No shit, and they make him look younger? How old did he start out looking?
And why can't they put him in something to make him look much younger, rather than just a decade or two? Like, baggies showing an three inches of boxers and a flannel overshirt? Maybe a lip ring? Go the distance, John! Put a blue streak in that chic white hair!

Barring that, how about diapers?

90. or just show up wearing "gay" sweaters
not sure what that would mean, but maybe grammy can knit something with a suggestively gay pattern?

Sadly, on this point, I live in Mass - don't imagine the "pull"-over-o-phobe will be visiting anytime soon.

sweaters to identify themselves? Perhaps then our children can learn to recognize said sweaters and get away from the gay gangs before they can be recruited to join.

109. Yes
He was cold -- New Hampshire in winter -- and borrowed a sweater from his brother-in-law, as I recall. The MSM made a HUGE deal over Clark wearing a sweater to "appeal to women," yadda yadda yadda... So yes, his campaign made light of it, auctioning the sweater on ebay.

60. Dunno about gay sweaters, but
what on earth was McCain wearing ANY sweater for, in the midst of this heat wave?

70. So McCain is yet another republican homophobic motherfucker
Let's all send him pink chiffon sweaters, mittens, and scarves as a thank-you for unmasking himself so completely.

What an asshole..... he probably thinks it felt him up or something.

Honest to God, I've been in my brother's closet, and I thought his stuff just looked like regular clothes. Maybe there's a secret code on the tag...

98. Gay is not a sweater. Gay is your Florida campaign chair.

Learn the difference.

Your sweater isn't gonna pay someone $20 to suck them off.

102. What exactly is a "gay" sweater?
Does the sweater know from an early age that it has conflicted longings for sweaters of the opposite sex?

McCain is toast anyhow, what a fargin' loon.

this takes the "cake".

he didn't mind hugging bush like leech or eating birthday cake with him while New Orleans drowned but wearing a blue v-neck sweater makes him look "gay"..he wishes.
