ui always have a complicated relationship to the dalai lama, i think that he as a man is fairly legitimately a saint, but the aristocratic history of tibet, the ethnic nationhood, and the violent supression of dissent makes it difficult to be supportive of the enterprise as a whole. this new yorker profile talks about the whole complex mess.

McCain apparently used the pretty violent language to emotionally abuse his wife:

Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain's intemperateness. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." McCain's face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt." McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.
