Former McCain Strategist Blames Charlie Black’s Gaffe On ‘Tremendous Reporter Cleavage
Former McCain Strategist Blames Charlie Black’s Gaffe On ‘Tremendous Reporter Cleavage

In a new Fortune magazine article, Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) chief strategist Charlie Black claimed that another terrorist attack on U.S. soil would be “a big advantage” for their campaign. On Dennis Miller’s radio show today, former top McCain strategist Mike Murphy attempted to explain away the gaffe with a crude joke:

MURPHY: Well, he’s an old friend of mine, so I’ll defend him. I don’t know what happened. I think there must have been tremendous reporter cleavage involved or something.

MILLER: hahahahahahaha

MURPHY: Charlie got off his focus, he’s a good guy, he’s apologized for it.

2. Mike Murphy is such a jack ass
And this is the type of thing that I can see fellow jack asses Joe, Mika, and Willie bringing up tomorrow on Morning Joe and talking about how it is ABSOLUTELY hilarious. Of course, I'm a jack ass for watching Morning Joe, but it's a habbit that I am trying to break.

9. Can't argue there.
And it seems peculiarly American to fixate on impossibly large clumps.

I'm not among that group, I'm a charter member of the I.B.T.C.

:hi:

7. So it's the fault of some female who has a female body?
Edited on Wed Jun-25-08 09:03 PM by havocmom
Damn females! We should have to wear burkas here so political stooges have less excuses for behaving badly :grr:

Murphy's comment WAS sexist. He squealed like a little piggy.

My all-time favorite tee shirt : Eve was framed
