That's right--McCain just reached out and physically assaulted a guy at a diplomatic meeting where guns were present.

Dear Senator McCain, somebody at an event asked you if you'd ever called your wife a c*nt. What you should have said was "Yes, I called my wife a c*nt... and I'm proud of it."

Today an audacious member of a McCainiac townhall audience Iowa finally asked McCain "the question." It was a query he has been able to avoid so far, simply by besmirching my character and hiding behind his bevy of underpaid hacks. Did he or did he not refer to his wife with an expletive in 1992 in front of the press and male aides of his, as I reported in my

Ladies and gentlemen, your "pro-life, pro-family" GOP:

Rep. Rick Renzi, R-Ariz., allegedly defrauded dozens of pro-life organizations for hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund his first congressional bid, according to an analysis of the recent indictment against him, a state insurance claim and an interview with an insurance lawyer involved in the case.

...

Organizations such as Arizona Right-to-Life, the Hope Crisis Pregnancy Center and the Wickenburg Pregnancy Resource Center paid insurance premiums to Renzi's insurance firm, Renzi & Company, but received notices their insurance coverage was going to be cancelled for nonpayment, according to a 2003 complaint filed with the State of Arizona. The complaint was first reported by the Phoenix New Times.

According to the indictment, Renzi funneled those payments -- totaling more than $400,000 -- through various accounts and finally to his campaign.

Of course, Renzi claims to be adamantly anti-choice:

Renzi has positioned himself as staunchly anti-abortion. "The sanctity of human life should always be upheld, and I will continue to fight for the rights of the unborn in Congress," he said in 2003, as a freshman U.S. representative. In 2006, Renzi received a 100 percent rating from the National Right to Life Committee for his voting record.

Ah, Republicans. So passionately devoted to the "sanctity of life", except when there's money involved.

Or, as DHinMI puts it,

Pro-life money funneled away from helping "unborn" babies to helping "unelected" politicians.
