I’d almost forgotten about this little tidbit, but it’s good to see there’s a close to 50% chance that our next president will be completely open about continuing to use the racial slur ‘gook.’ From the article, in 2000 during his last presidential campaign:

“I hate the gooks,” McCain said yesterday in response to a question from reporters aboard his campaign bus. “I will hate them as long as I live.”

But of course he qualified that by saying that he was only referring to his captors with that slur. Probably seems like a pretty satisfactory qualification for many random idiots out there.

I’m not going to go into a lot of detail describing the corollary for peoples of other races, but I’m sure you can connect the dots if you think hard enough: “I’d like to qualify that I was not referring to all black/latino/Chinese/white people when I used that term.”

Imagine THAT for a second.
