Behind The Laughter

This Week In Hate is proud to have the distinguished gentleman from Arizona, the honorable John McCain, joining us.

Let’s get started, shall we?

There are no words to describe McCain’s latest stupid-as-shit-comments regarding the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.

I’ll let Think Progress sum it all up for me:

Today, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) skipped the vote on the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which “restores the longstanding interpretation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act,” overturned last year by a 5-4 Supreme Court ruling. In New Orleans today, McCain explained his opposition to the bill by claiming it “opens us up to lawsuits for all kinds of problems.” He added that instead of legislation allowing women to fight for equal pay, they simply need “education and training“

Ummm. This is a pretty egregious statement about his views on women.

I’m floored that anyone in this day and age still thinks like this? What year does he think it is? 1950? Talk about being out of touch. Sheesh.
