Can McCain Control His Temper?
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Monday, January 28, 2008 4:20 PM PT


"Election 2008: John McCain claims his temper is not an issue. "I don't think I would have the support of so many of my colleagues if that were the case." Who are these supportive colleagues?

They certainly do not include Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss. Over the weekend, he announced he cannot endorse his colleague for the White House and is endorsing Gov. Mitt Romney instead.

"The thought of him being president sends a cold chill down my spine," Cochran said. "He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."

Perhaps Cochran can't appreciate the maverick in McCain. But the same can't be said of Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, a noted reformer and friend of whistle-blowers. Grassley said in a recent interview that he was so upset by a McCain tirade that he didn't speak to him "for a couple of years." McCain got in his face and shouted an obscenity at him.

.........SNIP"

1. Well, Mittsy gets "pissy." Which is worse? Or should they all give up and just vote for
Mike "Fred Flintstone" Huckabee?

:rofl:

True tidbit about McCain: He often uses the phrase, MY FRIENDS. In public, he means MY FRIENDS. But when he's really PISSED OFF at you, he uses that phrase in such a fashion that you know he isn't calling you "My friend"--it has the same tone, degree and level of brutal invective as "muthafucka" (pardon the expression). He says it in a rather nasty and dire way.

It's an interesting trait of his, and goes back many years.

2. He's emotionally unstable. That's why they didn't support him in 2000, and why
they're very uneasy now, in the GOP Senate.
