I love watching his election coverage. He always seems to right on top of things. I love watching the guy.

The Washington Post is trying to do the same thing with McCain that they did with George Allen.

Any other questions? Kthxbai.

About 2002 or so, I was in Union Station, Washington, D.C. and saw John McCain on the cell phone. He was headed for the train going to New York. I overhead him berating someone over not getting him something he needed for work.

As far as I could tell, this seemed normal for any executive dealing with his staff. I did not even hear any cussing.

I think the "temper" issue is overblown. I would EXPECT him to get angry with his staff if they are not doing their jobs.

Unfortunately at times the Senator has blown his top inappropriately. I know because he did it to me once about 15 years ago. Hopefully he's matured since then and what some dismiss as "old news" might be unnecessary to worry about. My personal concerns about it are, of course, the result of the incident. I don't expect anyone reading this to believe me as this is, after all, the internet, so don't bother flaming me over it. I don't have a horse in this presidential race.

Let me rephrase. Who cares if he has a temper if he's good at his job. It's such a non-issue. I don't care if the story is overblown other than the possibility that idiots will be swayed by it. It could be understating the thing for all I care. If the president of the US is doing a good job, he could be a complete ass.

Every state of the union could be him just yelling at us if he lowered the size and scope of government. He could make that really annoying noise like in Dumb and Dumber, but if he kept the budget balanced, big freaking deal.

One of the worst things about the current political environment is that people vote on who they would want to hang out with compared to whom they would want to rule the country.

Whenever stories came out about Hillary throwing lamps or berating WH staff or cursing out people, we were told to shut up and quit spreading hateful false VRWC politics of personal destruction rumors.

But when it comes to McCain, his temper becomes a KnownFact™ that makes him clearly unsuited for the Presidency.
