McCain Advisor: He Understands Latin America Because Of Fling With Brazilian Babe
McCain senior foreign policy advisor Richard Fontaine told a panel about the senator’s abilities in, ahem, foreign affairs:
”Talking a little about his personal experience, he was famously born in Panama and has traveled all over the hemisphere for many years.” Fontaine said. “In fact, I saw, I guess it was last week, that his old girlfriend in Brazil has been found from his early days when he was in the Navy and was interviewed. She’s a somewhat older woman now than she was then, but it sorta speaks to the long experience he has had in the region — in the most positive terms.”
The “old girlfriend is former model Maria Gracinda Teixeira de Jesus who told a publication called O Globo that the presidential hopeful was “quite a kisser.”
”I called him John but also my darling and my sweet coconut,” she said. “He was a great kisser. I liked it so much that I bought a book to learn how to kiss myself.”
Fontaine didn’t make matters better when he tried to explain his comments.
”The only thing I was trying to convey was that his experience goes back a long way,” Fontaine said. “He was born in Panama, which illustrates a lifetime spent in Latin America. He has known a lot of people. The thing about the Brazilian girlfriend was in his first memoir, and it stuck in my brain. Look at the two candidates and contrast his extensive experience. That’s the only point I was trying to make.”
He later said it was a “bad attempt at humor.” For his part, McCain mentioned the 1957 fling his his book Faith of my Fathers. That meant a lot to Maria.
‘He was not only a good kisser, he was good at everything,” she said. “He was a great love of mine. But he left and it ended. Otherwise, I would be up there with him. Only that our lives were different, I was a model and he was a military man who traveled a lot. I’ll never forget him, and I would never have imagined that he would write a book and talk about me.”
If he wins the White House race, she says she will send a telegram congratulating him. She’ll sign it, “your great Brazilian love.”
Let’s hope that telegram never has to be sent.
Uma namorada dele diz:
”I called him John but also my darling and my sweet coconut,”
I’d check the translation on ‘coconut’, the word for coconut and the word for ‘poop’ are very close. Could be she didn’t really like the gringo all that much.

Well, with the combined foreign policy experience of Palin seeing Russia from her house, and McCain’s foreign former girlfriend, we could just close down the State Department. What next, Sarah Palin drank Swiss Miss cocoa so now she has even MORE foreign policy experience? Geez, the McSame campaign is becoming delusional.

Gosh, Alan, this is kind of a sleezy attack for a man of your stature. I appreciate your contributions to Fox even though I disagree with most of what you say. I hope you continue to present the liberal point of view on Fox but this web site stuff is kind of petty. However, judging from the low brow comments posted on this site maybe that’s the audience you’re playing to. That’s too bad if it’s true. I like to hear both the conservative and liberal points of view but wish they could be presented without anger and hatred.

Alan,
How many women does John McCain ahve to have?
October 3rd, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Didn’t McConahey & Damon both marry Brazilians? Must be that samba! Blame it on Rio! Woof, Woof, Woof!
October 3rd, 2008 at 9:38 pm
ALAN – you are as slimy here as you are on TV – You have nothing better to do than to post personal attacks against MCCain – how about doing some on Obama and his saying to his PUblic Allies – that capitalism is white supremacy?
I am writing Sean and the owner of your TV show and request that you be thrown in with the pigs with which you root!
October 3rd, 2008 at 10:02 pm
Alan,
You are growing increasingly more obnoxious on Hannity & Colmes, but I did not realize you’d post such rotgut on your website. I thought liberals hated the “politics of personal destruction”!

hahah 1957
nice attack there Alan…kind of pathetic really.
October 3rd, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Sweet coconut? Alan, how dare you post a story about coconuts!
October 3rd, 2008 at 10:37 pm
Oh no delicate conservative sensibilities have been hurt. Maybe you can take out your anger on a mosque or a “queer”…
October 3rd, 2008 at 10:48 pm
“Just because Palin sounded less lost than last week, doesn’t mean she won the debate or even came close.”
KO
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:53 pm
Is it Allen, Alen, or Allan?
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:57 pm
Oh no, How dare a Republican share love with a latina.Doesn’t he know thats not allowed?9sarcasm)
LOL
GOOD FOR HIM
This is another idiotic non story.

The title just cracked me up. I can’t even read the article yet.
October 4th, 2008 at 12:48 am
That’s too funny! He’s totally in touch with the Latino community. If he doesn’t win the election, at least he’ll always be a great kisser!! No wonder his wife was so sprung on him after they met. LOL

The real victory Novemeber 4th will not be so much which party is elected but that Dick Cheney and his running mate will no longer be in the White House or the Naval Observatory house. OBAMA/BIDEN ‘08

The real victory Novemeber 4th will not be so much which party is elected but that Obama and his running mate will not be allowed to be in the White House or the Naval Observatory house. NOBAMA/notBIDEN ‘08

Interesting story about Maria, but, Alan, if you’re going to go to this level, why don’t you do a story on the Obama/Sinclair affair. Sinclair offers evidence, and Obama, as usual, delivers didley.
October 4th, 2008 at 8:36 am
Winking, blowing kisses, kissing, winking. What is it with these latest blogs.

“…with the combined foreign policy experience of Palin seeing Russia from her house, and McCain’s foreign former girlfriend, we could just close down the State Department.”
Well, truth be told, Wasilla Alaska is something like 800 miles from the point of closest proximity: an island out in the Bering Straits.
(The governor’s mansion is about a thousand miles away.)

Another fine endorsement of his leadership qualities. This almost tops his demonstrated leadership of his party’s representatives in congress. I wonder, could we expect him to use his obviously effective persuasive techniques she describes to get congress to adopt his legislative packages? Or, will he use the fine persuasive skills to have congress stick to agreed to arrangements to pass distasteful (but, necessary) legislation. If this last week is any evidence, he’s DOA on this critical front….just like Bush is now.
October 4th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
Next week’s presidential debate features the war hero vs. the zero. Go McCain!!!
October 4th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Cute…..same response on a different posting. Originality isn’t a strong point of that campaign, either.
October 4th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
You know when one side has to pull out the ex-girlfriend card that they are panicking.
Maybe alan can tell us about his ex-girlfriends… you know, just to be fair and balanced.
October 4th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
I read the Globo story. It’s kind of sad, she was a successful model, has been married four times, but has never found her ‘great love’. She has lost all her money at the poker tables, and now lives alone with her cats on the equivalent of 200 bucks a month.
She has good memories of McCain, and seems to be enjoying the attention she is getting from the story – but was upset that the newspaper photographed her house, she had wanted to paint it first.
October 4th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Something about that “My close up, Mr. Demille” type of situations…..
I must agree….it’s cute and sad at the same time.
October 4th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Alan, you worship at the altar of hypocracy. Not only were you mum on criticism of the likes of Bill Clinton and John Edwards, you actively admonished anyone who questioned their sexual lives.
I do love it when you do it, though… always trying to imply, infer, and trot out a conjecture, without trying to look like you’re actually casting a solid judgment. It’s transparent to everyone who watches you from the outside, but I bet you get a little warm, smug, “Take THAT!” inside every time you do this. Still waiting on an apology for implying Sarah Palin caused her son’s Down’s Syndrome.
Smarmy two-faced liar.
October 4th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Deep,
He never implied Sarah Palin caused her son’s Down’s Syndrome. He never even brought up the fact that the older a woman is, the more likely her child is to be born with Down’s Syndrome.
So I would guess you will be waiting a long time for him to apologize for something he never said.
Still waiting for Deep In Tx’s apology for calling Alan a smarmy two-faced liar.
PS. He actually gave John Edwards a pretty hard time for his affair. You really don’t seem to know anything about what you are complaining about. Grab a fact or two next time, Deep.
October 4th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
Here we go…change the topic when you can’t win the original argument or have no knowledge base to effectively defend a position…..
October 4th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
Neat story. Props to Juan McCain! Glad he got plenty of tail when he was young and hot. Ah, the salad days.
Um Cara, that’s a sad story, indeed. But hey, at least she’s lived life to the fullest– she might not have found THE love of her life, but she found plenty of other loves to keep her busy.
And, hell, there are plenty of older women — and men — who have lived less glamorous, priveleged lives who live on even less a month.
For instance… I just heard a story this morning about a 93-year-old lady who tried to commit suicide when the sheriff’s dept. came to foreclose on her house. Freddie and Fannie decided to forgive the loan and let her live there.
I hope she lives to 150.
This has happened under the Bush administration, by the way, with the bulk of Congress’s power in the last 13 years being held by Republicans.
Here ends this Public Service Announcement.
October 5th, 2008 at 8:53 am
Alan, Thank you for informing the public that we now have verification of John McCain having “coconuts”.
Now, in regard to Obama, can you clearly explain, with verification of course, his ACORN?
October 5th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Sarah,
I bet she would agree with you, and it would be very ‘un Brazilian’ for her to whine about her current situation. It is amazing how positive the vast majority of Brazilians are, regardless of their personal circumstances.
The greeting here is ‘everything’s good?’ and the response is either ‘everything’s beautiful’ or ‘everything’s joyful’ or something similar – always.
I just wanted to make sure it was understood the ’sad’ part was my editorializing, not Senhora Maria’s.
October 5th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
The Fannie/Freddie fiasco started under Clinton and has cascaded quickly into what we have today. Dems knew the warning signs and ignored them. The fault lies with both sides for craps sake.
We don’t live in a dictatorship. Everything bad doesn’t happen because of Bush. Everything good didn’t happen because of clinton. If you want to put it that way, I guess the repubs had something to do with the “economic prosperity” you have been bragging about under Clinton.
October 5th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
T. Mason,
Definitely Republicans had something to do with the Clinton years economic prosperity, and both Republicans and Democrats share in the blame of the current economic crisis. And folks, the current economic crisis is way bigger than Fannie and Freddie.
No argument from me, on that.
October 5th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Hiya, Um–
“I just wanted to make sure it was understood the ’sad’ part was my editorializing, not Senhora Maria’s.”
No worries, amiga. I gotcha the first time. I was just trying to comfort you. And myself!
Like Jagger sang, “What a drag it is getting old…”
