John McCain=Master Make Out Maverick. Oh, yes my friends, it's true. I'm not usually one to talk about "things we were just talking about at the office," but this debate actually comes up not infrequently (was John McCain hot as a lad or not) and this story could just settle the debate in the affirmative. While John McCain attended his 50th Naval Academy reunion Saturday, he and his mates reminisced about “vices sailors are infamous for” including one down-and-dirty dalliance with a Brazilian woman, who's now come forward with the juicy details of the hookup.
The woman in question, Maria Gracinda, bedded the young and carnally indulgent McCain and has this to say of the midshipman’s. . . technique: “He was tasty, loving, and romantic. He was such a good kisser that I had to purchase a book which taught me how to kiss to keep up with him.” Can't believe she's talking about the same McCain? Maybe this will help convince you. When asked about how he was at the horizontal salsa, Gracinda added: “... He was not only good at kissing, he was good at everything.”
McCain mentioned the whole affair in his book Faith of My Fathers though ever the gentleman, he declined to name the woman behind the short dalliance that “... our youthful impatience and short attention spans brought an end to our affair.” Many years later McCain still paints the affair as: “. . . in my memory, embellished with age of course, among the happier experiences of my life.” And Gracinda views the hookup fondly too, saying that if McCain wins she'll send him a special message, "from his great love in Brazil."
Thinking about the relative "tastiness" of McCain? Sarah Palin may have him beat with a special sandwich named in her honor. To see what's in it, read more.
The Lion's Den restaurant in Midtown Anchorage has a new offering on the menu: the McPalin Grilled Pig Sandwich. Inspired of course by the lipstick on a pig comment, the 'wich is grilled pork tenderloin on it, with caramelized apples, red onions, melted cheddar cheese, and crisp bacon, complete with an adorned bun with a pig face. What comes with? Oh, just your average side of fries and your very own tube of lipstick.

That sandwich sounds GOOD!
1I feel queasy about the McCain make out story! Blech!
...but that sandwich does sound yummy!
2Me-ow, McCain!
3Yech, all the way around.
4I'll take two of those sandwiches. It's only 8:30 and I'm already hungry...
5This is a weird story, I feel like I'm reading page 6.
6this is really inappropriate... and nauseating. it's like hearing about your grandfather's sexual conquests. GROSS. but beyond just being gross, it has no place in a public discussion - it has nothing to do with his political skills or his self-professed "strong character".
if we want to talk about character, why aren't we talking about the fact that mccain dumped his first wife (and the mother of his first 3 kids) after she was disfigured in a car accident? he cheated on her for 6 months with cindy mccain, and as soon as he married cindy, he spirited off to arizona and started a new life with her. his first wife won't say anything bad about the whole affair because as part of the divorce settlement he offered to pay her medical bills for the rest of her life - something she clearly relies on as she had something like 25 surgeries to repair her damaged body after the car accident.
beyond just those facts, there are all of the campaign finance issues having to do with the beer distributing company cindy mccain owns an estimated $100 million stake in - they funded his first political campaign, and at one point gave so much money that mccain was forced by the FEC to give some of it back.
so yeah, that's the substantive stuff that shows 'strength of character'... or does it? i find it really ironic that john edwards was crucified for doing the same thing, but because this all happened over 25 years ago, mccain gets a free pass.

8YY, it was totally unnecessary to bring that up. Nobody saw this as a story showing that McCain had "strength of character", it was just a little silly gossip. I'm pretty sure you're the one being inappropriate here.
9YY, so do you think he has a big you-know-what?
10no, im saying that if we want to talk about substantive issues of the campaign... like the two major things mccain runs on, character and reform, let's look at the facts.
and foxie, i'm not even going to go there. i haven't even had breakfast yet... and now it
looks as though i will not be able to.
11Too early, Citizen. Too early for "tasty" McCain.
12Even if you think 'character' is one of McCain's major running points, I would hardly call it a substantive issue.
13Oh my God. Thank goodness I had already drooled over pictures of tasty Jon Hamm from Mad Men before reading this. I can't start out my morning with "tasty" McCain!
14its TOTALLY a substantive issue, michelin! he uses it constantly! thats the whole POW angle, right? integrity, character, resilience... whatever you want to call it - he's the one who brought this into the campaign, not me. i'm just pointing out the facts that speak to his real character, that's all.
15I think having integrity as a POW and as a service member is a little different and a little more important than marital issues. But that's neither here nor there, this isn't a post about his integrity or character. It's a post about how he's a good lay!
16yy's just throwing the truth out there. Everyone knows about it, so I think it's fair game. Just my opinion.
...and foxie I really gotta think about someone else being a good lay.

Oh, and is it just me, or does anyone think that bacon on a pork tenderloin is kinda weird? I love bacon as much as the next meat-eating person (maybe even more so) but something about that seems weird. Too much pork product perhaps? Bacon wrapped around a filet mignon, however, is another story entirely.
...and I just used the word "pork" and "lay" in this post. Really gotta think of something else now.
17"if we want to talk about character, why aren't we talking about the fact that mccain dumped his first wife (and the mother of his first 3 kids) after she was disfigured in a car accident?"
Hmmm, maybe because he didn't deny that it happened??
18I guess it doesn't surprise me that you (and probably a lot of other people) think that 'character' (aka a candidates personal life) is a "substantive issue". That's probably why there is so much silly bickering, name calling, and character-bashing on this website. It makes my head spin, and it's pretty tiresome.
19I think that the reason one would wrap bacon around pork tenderloin is the same reason that it is wrapped around filet mignon. Both cuts have an exceptionally low fat content, which is great, but unfortunately they both have a tendency to dry out because of it, so the fat insulator is a great way to keep the meat juicy when cooking it.
I do have an issue with bacon wrapped fillets, and scallops for that matter. And that is that I like them both next to raw, but you can't eat bacon undercooked, because it's dangerous.
20>Hmmm, maybe because he didn't deny that it happened??
Huh?
21Now when I say tenderloin, fillets, bacon, and scallops, I mean tofu and granola.
22Excellent culinary points, organic. Nothing wrong with a little bacon-wrapped granola, either. Savory AND sweet.
23yesteryear, I'm glad you brought it up. I didn't know that about McCain [not a big surprise] and I think it was very relevant to know how he treats the women he "loves". Rather than glorify him and terrify others by talking just about his sex life.
24I don't think most conservative voters would think it was a "glorification" for McCain to talk about his sex life.
Mmm, bacon wrapped granola.
25I hope so Foxie!
Ewww-bacon wrapped granola. I know its early but I been craving steak.
26This has an EWWWWness factor all around. I don't care if this article was written about Obama / Biden or McCain / Palin.... GROSS all around!
27Torg - Edwards got into so much trouble for his affair because he denied it, even after it could be proven that he was. It was only after photographic evidence was presented to him that he finally announced "Yeah, ok, I've been cheating on my wife." McCain didn't do that, hasn't, and doesn't hide this less than glamorous part of his life. If Edwards hadn't been such a snake about his affair, it would've become a non-story.
28That's not true UD. If Edwards had been our nominee and the cheating came out he would've lost the election just like that.
Oh and I agree on the ick factor of this story. Although it did make me laugh.
29I agree with HF on this one. Thank goodness Edwards wasn't the Democratic nominee...
McCain hasn't tried to hide anything, and yeah, has also used the c-word to describe his wife in public. Man, I can only imagine what my mom would have to say to my dad if he ever pulled that.
30I don't think he would've lost just because it came out that he cheated on his wife. That seems like such a common occurance, that most people (ok most men) would've said "There goes another politician being a politician. At least she was cuter than Monica."
I don't care about the names, but the combinations sound excellent (did I mention I love bacon??) and I like the picture above. I'm sorry WI missed summer. It never got very warm here.
31I can't imagine being called that by my partner in private, much less in public. To be honest, I really just can't imagine him using that word, period.
But McCain's got a reputation for having a temper, saying "f you" to other Senators in meetings or calling them "a-holes."
32Torg, I don't blame him for that. I'd have a hard time not calling other senators a-holes, or telling them f-you. But McCain would probably be one of those people.
33As fired up as I get about things, I don't recall the last time I told someone to f off to their face. I was probably drunk, and I was most certainly not in a Senate hearing.
34Haha, I wouldn't actually do it.
35I look at McCains past indescretions through an analytical eye. He was gone for five and a half years and who knows what that did to him , he probably thought he would never get out of there and detached emotionally from his then wife, and when he got out and got back She was a different person too not only from being in an accident but from being away from him for that time.
I know from personal experiance what stressful situations can do to a marriage, and being seperated, I am not saying it was okay for him to have affairs, but i understand it.
That said, he has dealt with that personal issue and moved on. I am not judging him on that.
and it in no way takes away from the fact that he is an honorable man.
36
37>and it in no way takes away from the fact that he is an honorable man.
I don't know. I think it does. I'm not saying it erases anything else honorable he's done in his life, but cheating on your wife is not, you know, honorable.
But I don't think it affects whether he could be president. Fidelity is not enumerated under presidential duties in the Constitution.
38"Fidelity is not enumerated under presidential duties in the Constitution."
I completely agree torg...but if that's the case then everyone gets an out of jail free card not just McCain..including Clinton and Edwards.
39This is completely inappropriate and shouldn't even be an article. WTF does his conquests when he was in the military have to do with his candidacy today? I'm telling you RIGHT NOW, I'm no where NEAR the same person today that I was when I was 18, 19, 20 21 etc. If I was I'd kill myself! What he did with a woman back then is irrelevant.
And he left his wife BECAUSE she was disfigured or he left his wife AFTER she was disfigured, because those are two COMPLETELY separate issues.
40Clinton didn't just cheat on his wife, he did it with a young employee, while on duty, in the oval office! You don't get a free pass for those things.
But some people think he was a good president in spite of those things, so like you guys said, this isn't relevant to whether McCain would make a good president.
41Edwards and Clinton get a free pass from me. Boink as you like, gentlemen. Just keep us out of wars, please.
42"Edwards and Clinton get a free pass from me. Boink as you like, gentlemen. Just keep us out of wars, please."
torg!
43i am standing behind this as indeed being a character issue, only because the GOP has made it one for YEARS now (lewinsky, gennifer flowers, just to name a few!). john mccain is running largely on his perceived character as a military man and POW, etc. live by the sword, die by the sword.
44I think things like this get pulled into focus when "morals" are brought up on one's political platform. Obviously that word's going to get tossed around a lot anyway (on both sides), but then that word in certain contexts is brought up, other things in a person's past are going to get brought up as well. Applies to a lot of different things, IMO.
45I'd prefer to think of it this way: Boink whomever you like, but when questioned, have the integrity to be honest about it.
Oh wait, a man of integrity wouldn't cheat on his wife to begin with....
46So, by your logic, McCain isn't a man of integrity?
47yy - Clinton got into trouble because he Lied about the affair, under oath. This would've been a non-issue if he had told the truth.
48Dave, seriously? You think Clinton would not have had repercussions if he'd just said "Yep, boned her! Boned her good!"
49That's absolutely not true UD. Maybe it would've been a non-issue to you...and I commend you for that. BUT the American public would've had just as big of a fit.
