Linda McMahon's unusual name for her boat becomes campaign fodder

Some people name their yachts after their wives. But for Connecticut Senate candidate Linda McMahon, naming her boat was a bit more personal.

The "Sexy Bitch" is McMahon's 47 foot speedboat, and while it's not entirely certain just who the SB is, it's a pretty safe guess it's not McMahon's husband. The campaign of Rep. Rob Simmons (R-Conn.), who is running against McMahon in the Senate GOP primary, emailed a column about the boat's name to reporters on Friday.

McMahon will likely take some grief for the outlandish name for a while, but it won't be the first time a politician's yacht name choice has raised eyebrows.

Former Sen. Gary Hart (D-Colo.) had a yacht infamously named Monkey Business, which, photos later revealed, is exactly what the married lawmaker was engaging in with model Donna Rice.
