Funny like three caskets

This report is contested, and I am told (by zarq in comments) that the Yahoo! editorial (and several other sources I saw with the same information) are all incorrect - the joke was not told this year, but 22 years ago in a Senatorial campaign.

Sadly all too revealing...

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?'

&mdash Senator John McCain, on the campaign trail, last week

You're very welcome. Considering his track record on "jokes", I seriously doubt the story's inaccurate.

Personally, I could have excused him from accepting money from "Claytie" Williams out of ignorance of that controversy IF he had returned the money Williams had raised. But that ship's sailed (http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5892136.html).
