Remember when McCain said CHELSEA CLINTON was Janet Reno's daughter? Ugly? Remember?
http://www.salon.com/news/1998/06/25newsb.html

The joke did appear in McCain's hometown paper, the Arizona Republic, and the Associated Press did report the joke in full, so everyone in the press had access to McCain's words. But by censoring themselves, the Post, the Times and others helped McCain deflect flak and preserved his status as a Republican presidential contender.

Salon feels its readers deserve the unadulterated truth. Though no tape of McCain's quip has yet emerged, this is what he reportedly said:

"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?
Because her father is Janet Reno."







So ya, any concerns about us vetting his running mate now?
