Anger management" is the euphemism that allows this awkward matter to be raised. In a solemn version of the old "Whose finger on the trigger?" question, Leahy was able to recruit the views of former Sen. Bob Smith, R-N.H., who opined that McCain's rage quotient "would place this country at risk in international affairs, and the world perhaps in danger." I once went on a TV panel with Smith and passed some green-room time with him, and I can assure you that premature detonations of any kind would certainly not be his problem. He combines the body of an ox with the brains of a gnat. Indeed, if his brains were made of gunpowder and were to accidentally explode, the resulting bang would not even be enough to disarrange his hair. He moved from being the most right-wing Republican senator from New Hampshire, switching to the U.S. Taxpayers Party after a distinct absence of what we call "traction" in his presidential run of 2000, tried to rejoin the GOP when he saw a nice, fat chairmanship become vacant on the death of Sen. John Chafee, failed at that, lost the nomination in his own state, moved to Florida, endorsed John Kerry in 2004, endorsed Duncan Hunter for the Republican nomination in December last year, and was last spotted on the Web page of the Constitution Party: a Web page that's tons of fun to check out. And this cretinous dolt, who managed to do all the above without bringing out so much as a sweat on his massive and bovine frame, is the chief character witness against the impetuous McCain. Nice work.

However, we are still obliged to ask ourselves whether the senior senator from Arizona is a brick short of a load or, as heartless people in England sometimes say, a sandwich or two short of a picnic. Because "anger," make no mistake about it, is the innuendo for instability or inadequacy. What if McCain doesn't really have both oars in the water or is either too tightly wrapped or not tightly wrapped enough?

and he hates gooks, tar babies, and woman who want equal wages

Kliffy, the guy can't raise his arms over his shoulders anymore because the vietnamese tortured him so badly. I think we can give him a pass on calling them Gooks... he and thousands others from that war.

I wonder if you are as forgiving towards Vietnamese who hate Americans to this day for doing far worse to them and their fellow countrymen??

I've heard he doesn't think much of Muslims either.

There are times he doesn't like his wife much either. For instance, the time she twirled his hair and said to him "you're getting a little thin up there".

McCain's reply, as witnessed by several reporters:

"At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt."

It's interesting that Hillary Clinton's demeanor is so closely watched that her laugh becomes a national issue, but John McCain's bouts of anger are so infrequently discussed. You'd think having a hothead poised with his finger at the button might be more important than the way somebody cackles.

His excuse for above quote?

"It's been a long day."

Gee, he won't have any of those as president, will he?

A normal man, a man's man, would have challenged George Bush to pistols at dawn for the things Bush said about him in the 2000 election.

But he didn't. He just rolled over on his back and wagged his tail.

Now he's just a lackluster token candidate for the GOP. I really don't see why anybody takes this run seriously.

Right now the polls make him look about even with Obama or Hillary. But that will all come to a sudden halt when the Dems drag out the big guns in the general and McCain/McBush has no defensible position.

"You'd think having a hothead poised with his finger at the button might be more important than the way somebody cackles."

I've had the displeasure of meeting two men (so far) who think McCain's anger issues are just what this country needs in order to straighten out this world. And both believe Hillary is "emotionally unstable" and Obama is married to a Black Panther.

Women don't get a break with some men.

I got a call last night from the Clinton campaign asking if she could count on my support in the Tuesday primary. I said Absolutely, in the primary..........and then I laughed. She got the hint. She then asked if I planed to vote for her in the general election. I said there was no way in Hell I was going to vote for her as president!!!! That I would be voting for McCane because as a small business owner the other two already stated changes to the tax laws that were not in my best intrest. She said "but your a registered Democrat". I told her that I had changed my ticket to unaffiliated. Meaning I could vote for whoever I wanted in the primaries. She said we need someone with experience in the white house. A agreed, and said It sure as hell will not be her. She asked why I was voting for her in the primary. I said it was because she was behind Obama in NC and I just wanted to keep them tied until they go to the Democratic Convention. I just want to see the bloodshed! The whole time I'm laughing my ass off. The funny thing was the girl on the phone was laughing as hard as I was.

"Kliffy, the guy can't raise his arms over his shoulders anymore because the vietnamese tortured him so badly. I think we can give him a pass on calling them Gooks... he and thousands others from that war."

ARob,

Yes we can give him a pass for these transgressions but not if he were to be commander in chief. I think anyone who has had mangers/superiors, especially those with former military background, would far prefer one who if even tempered and not inclined to anger meltdowns. I would think you would have even more caution selecting someone who has the ability to send americans to their death, start a war and controls the use of nuclear weapons.

Great story StirOfEchoes. How long did that take you to invent in your head?

I got a head for you benny boy!

"That I would be voting for McCane because as a small business owner the other two already stated changes to the tax laws that were not in my best intrest."

Dillusiional if you think McCain is going to be better for small business. $4.00/gal. gas is great for business....riiight.
Oh, how much you spending for health care????
Do you provide it for employees???

Republicans are for big business not small business. And these days even big businesses like GM are starting to realize that even they would be better off with Dems.

Eternal war won't do a whole lot for small business either. Throw Iran in to the mix and ...well... we are fucked

Oh, how much you spending for health care????

More than most people spend on a house payment. Do you think it will be cheaper if I have to pay for yours too?

Don't get me wrong, I'd vote for none of the above if I thought it would help.

This entanglement crap overseas is stupid. I 'll agree there. But the idea of americans being less self sufficient and more dependant on others is the wrong direction to head.

Oh, how much you spending for health care????

More than most people spend on a house payment. Do you think it will be cheaper if I have to pay for yours too?


America already spends more per person on health care than any of the socialised medicine countries and 10% of the population isn't covered. What does the rest of the world know that we don't.?

"John McCain's bouts of anger are so infrequently discussed."

Are you kidding me??? Thats all they talk about, his anger and his age. Wake up! Talk about someone needing anger management, look at your buddy Bill Clinton. That's not to say Hillary doesn't have a few cuss words to say herself.

rob
i'll give him a pass

just not for POTUS!


and wis
i know he hates muslims
but i don't bring it up
why?

cause he hates everyone
blacks - you tar babies! you can't have martin luther king day off... but i'm sorry cause i need your vote
woman - equal pay? too bad be thankful you get paid at all
asians - gooks (remember gook was originally used for koreans - then chinese - THEN vietnamese, it encompasses all asians)

if we talk muslims, hate all you want, but at least know your enemy. which one is it? shi'ite? sunni? i don't know, their all gooks to me.

Danni,
Is that what the CEO of GM told you?

Dani,

Wat does he Prez have to do with the price of gas? Suppy and demand, China and India love oil and are gobbelng up more and more.

You are all asking Danni questions like she is of normal intelligence. Don't you realize by now that she's a few clowns short of a circus?

I just love to see her answers, I love a good laugh.

"Don't you realize by now that she's a few clowns short of a circus?"

Well, that would explain her time spent here.

........"few clowns short of a circus" ....lol.......

hitchen's is a fine one to bring up porcine appearances.

don't look in the mirror chris, your shadow ducks.

The press some years back gave free passes to the most gross presidential gaffes. I think it was condoning the senility of one Ronald Reagan.

It seems to me that the Boys On The GOP Bus should take off their kid gloves and press Johnny McC a bit more; It shouldn't take much for the ex-hero from Arizona to implode again - On Camera. You know, one good Dean yell. One more demeaning obscenity at his wife. You can do it, guys. Go for it. herm

The only kid glves are being usd on obama. The lib left reporters are falling all over themselves trying to kiss his ass.

"The only kid gl(o)ves us(e)d on obama. Lib left reporters fall all over themselves trying to kiss his ass."

Oh hell yes. They're having a field day with something his former minister once said. That seems to be the sum total of the negatives anyone can find against Barney. Lib left reporters? Maybe, if that's how you choose to interpret CARING. But their publishers are tightie righties; that's where the paychecks com from. herm

Kliffy, the guy can't raise his arms over his shoulders anymore because the vietnamese tortured him so badly. I think we can give him a pass on calling them Gooks... he and thousands others from that war.

Not all of them, in fact, it was far from it.

Wirght can't say anything negative about the treatment blacks have received in this country but McCain can still call people 'gooks'?

This will make for GREAT smear material.

Also, did you know that his wife (the 2nd one, not the one he referred to as "cunt") is a drug addict? Did you know that she stole drugs from a clinic for the poor and that she didn't go to jail because she was rich and hubby was a senator? That certainly doesn't seem like the kind of person we want as a first lady, never mind a role model for our children . I love it.

Probably because there is no "button." That's not how it works...

Oh good lord. I'm sorry, Rob, but you get a Douche Flag for that one.

The pentagon got rid of the button back in 2000 when it became apparent that the new occupant of the Commander in Chief position was not intellectually capable of learning how to operate it. They replaced it with Jeff Gannon's member but 'forgot' to hook it up to anything.

Google NUCLEAR FOOTBALL to see how the "Button" works.

McCain needs to kick Obama right in the pussy before their first debate just to show him who's boss.

How odd. Cuz I think people who use the word "button" about our nukes, like all you have to do is push it and all our nukes go flying off to moscow are pretty douchey...

Dif'rent strokes to rule the world...

Monte is just torqued off he wasn't featured in a USA Today story Rob.

By the way, how uncomfortable were you when Larry asked you to sign his boobs and then he pulled out those two cut off hooker tits?

I'll be laughing about that one for at least the next 10 minutes...

I guess if that's what you meant, I see your point. But it has never worked that way. It's always taken at least two keys, or two people to give a launch order. At least that's what all the fictional books I've read say.

(Don't waste your time - I already gave myself a douche flag for that one.)
