McCain Likely Furious About McCain Rage Stories

mccainfresh070308.jpg
John McCain has something of a reputation for never being more than two clicks away from erupting into a horrifying, dark rage. It's a theme you may have picked up on when reports of his saying some not very nice things to his wife surfaced a few months back. A new chapter of this time-honored storyline has been offered this week by Senator (and noted McCain enemy) Thad Cochran (R-MS), who recalled a congressional trip to Nicaragua in 1987 in which McCain allegedly went buck wild on a member of the country's communist regime during a meeting.

According to Cochran, "John had reached over and grabbed this guy by the shirt collar and had snatched him up like he was throwing him up out of the chair to tell him what he thought about him."

This would be an enjoyable anecdote for everyone if McCain were winding down his career playing poker in the cloakroom like most senators his age. But it's bad juju for a presidential candidate already plagued with a reputation for being an unstable rageaholic.

McCain quickly denied that the alleged incident took place, as has a former aide who accompanied him on the trip, but it's inevitable that this hothead motif will build steadily into a tiresome crescendo sometime this fall. We'll mostly be interested to see how long it takes for the serious news people to start really drilling down into the time McCain went to juvenile court for telling two girls to "stick it up your ass".

Dear American Voters, reporters, media. professionals, political parties, and our hon. Presidential Nominees,


Subject: Presidential Temperament

Please talk about and "Compare And Contrast" the " Presidential Temperament" of our Presidential presumptive nominees. I will also request and plead to the nominees themselves [ Hon. Senator McCain and Obama ].

So he may--or may not--have gone ballistic on some foreign pipsqueak who probably deserved it over two decades ago?

I guess I will just have to vote for him and hope the republic has enough checks and balances to survive!

I respectfully reccomend the McCain's handlers arrange for him to have an assessment and, if neede, coaching for anger management. If he is to become president of the most powerful nation in the world, we will all be vulnerable.
