That's because the Arizona Republican's resume contains several inflammatory remarks about women.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just this election cycle, for example, McCain did not protest as a questioner at a town hall meeting referred to Hillary Clinton as a bitch. McCain went on to say he respected Clinton, but he laughed when the question itself -- &amp;quot;how do we beat the b@#%h?&amp;quot; --was asked.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In 1998, McCain famously made his tasteless joke about Chelsea Clinton's looks, claiming the then first daughter was &amp;quot;so ugly&amp;quot; because &amp;quot;her father is Janet Reno.&amp;quot; He later apologized.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Then there are the unconfirmed reports. From Cliff Schechter's book, The Real McCain, there is the report that McCain publicly insulted his wife, Cindy, during the 1992 Senate campaign, including referring to her as a &amp;quot;trollop&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;C&amp;quot; word.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In the 1986 campaign, the Tuscon Citizen reported on allegations that McCain had told a Republican audience a disturbing joke about a woman enjoying being raped by a gorilla. Both of these accounts have been denied by McCain and his campaign.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/10/mccain-may-have-open-door_n_125381.html"&gt;http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/10/mccain-may-have-open-door_n_125381.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>HRC defends Obama on 'lipstick'</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/10/1375540.aspx#1375619</link><pubDate>Wed, 10 Sep 2008 22:00:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1375619</guid><dc:creator>wise man, NY</dc:creator><description>Buyers' remorse.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Coulda, woulda, shoulda nominated Hillary.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bill was right.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Race-baiting is Axelrod's game.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dems can kiss this election goodbye!</description></item><item><title>HRC defends Obama on 'lipstick'</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/10/1375540.aspx#1375623</link><pubDate>Wed, 10 Sep 2008 22:00:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1375623</guid><dc:creator>Capt.
