Not a very surprising quote, I think. McCain is known to say things without discussing them with his advisors and assistants first. The New Yorker (a pro Obama magazine) run an interesting article on McCain some weeks ago:
It shows how open McCain is about almost anything. But the real benefit is that contrary to Obama's and Clinton's campaign, it seems McCain's (partly resulting from a lack of funding) is not completely staged. At the end of the story he's not the candidate I would vote for (if I'd be allowed to), but his openness is great compared to the campaigns of the other candidates.

A fascinating insight into the thinking of Republican presidential candidate John McCain by author Cliff Schecter, from his book "The Real McCain":
"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.""
