Rape is Funny?

Can someone explain why John McCain thinks rape is funny [hat tip Feministe ]: Did you hear the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly and left to die? When she finally regains consciousness and tries to speak, her doctor leans over to hear her sigh contently and to feebly ask, ‘Where is that marvelous ape?’ Of course, as the linked post points out, this is the same guy who joked about a 17 year-old Chelsea Clinton being ugly. He is also the same guy who calls his wife a trollop and a cunt. And this guy is really the Republican nominee for President? I am not sure that John McCain would pass his own vice-president vetting process. Stay classy, John McCain.
