McCain attended a madrasah, former girlfriend says

Adding to the allegations from his fellow Republicans that presidential contender and Arizona Sen. John McCain is “too liberal,” an interview with an ex-girlfriend by a renowned porn magazine has revealed that McCain may have attended a madrasah during his early years.

And that has many supporters wondering just who this guy really is.

A madrasah is an Islamic school, and most aren't much different than the Protestant or Jewish prep schools that consistently appear on the resumes of normal presidential candidates. But McCain, a self-avowed war hero who insists he was tortured and held captive for five years during the Revolutionary War, is having trouble with his constituency over the allegation, made by Cindy Wegan, a 61-year-old former stripper now living in Baltimore.

Wegan, who McCain has previously acknowledged knowing, told the sex magazine Anteater that “oh yeah, he used to tell me all the time about this weird Islamo stuff he was learning. I didn't think much of it because, you know, he was all manly and just so, uh, good, that I ignored most of what he said.”

Wegan also said she'd heard a youthful McCain use words like “torture” and “jihad,” but she couldn't recall the context.

FOX News picked up the story, insisting that McCain is a terrorist sympathizer. Talk show host Bill O'Reilly issued a statement saying, in part, “John McCain may have had something to do with 9/11. We don't know that yet. Our reporters here are working on it, and you shouldn't worry, because we'll tell you the story soon enough. For now, it goes without saying that, because he attended a non-Christian school, John McCain is no longer a friend to our Party.”

McCain's presidential campaign was in Colorado in anticipation of the “Super Tuesday” primaries when the news broke. He called the allegations “ludicrous.”

“I fought for my country, almost died for it, and you won't forget that,” he told reporters gathered at a diner in Fort Collins. “Screw you. All of you. How about that for straight talk?”
