What I like about this is the reinforcing of context. You come away not just remembering the "bad word" McCain said, but the complete, and more damning, phrase: "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt."
In some circles "cunt" is the supreme complement, as in "grrrl, those heels are pure cunt!" Perhaps John McCain was simply absorbing the raucously expressive lingo of his many drag queen party companions.
McCunt says doesn't plaster on the makeup like a trollop. I guess this means in contrast he is fastidious and tasteful with his mascara brush? Perhaps he studies the books of the late Kevin Aucoin, beauty wizard to the stars, whose lifelong battle with painful acromegly led to an untimely death? Vanity, thy name is John! Mess, thy name is Cindy!

So, how DOES he plaster on the makeup? Or does the formaldehyde work from the inside?
Oh, and God Damn America!!

So your point is that John McCain called his wife a trollop?
