Vintage McCain...

[cynatnite]

snip:
If McCain becomes President, America will have more than a prickly president with a low boiling point. He carries grudges, fibs rather than admits mistakes, cannot endure criticism, threatens revenge, controls by fear, is consumed with self-importance.

Shifting blame also is second nature.

It was vintage McCain who exploded when The Arizona Republic questioned whether the man dubbed "Senator Hothead" in Washington was fit to handle presidential powers. Instead of conceding what’s common knowledge, McCain erupted into denial, blaming a newspaper vendetta (rubbish!) and George W. Bush for "orchestrating" the criticism (more rubbish!).

snip:
ABC’s 20/20 almost gave the nation a clearer snapshot. Sam Donaldson taped an interview with Amy Silverman, of The Phoenix New Times, regarded as Arizona journalism’s expert on McCain. But the segment was canceled the night before airing, fueling speculation that McCain’s powerful Senate Commerce Committee’s oversight of broadcasting makes TV wary of offending him.

As an early McCain acquaintance and now a former friend, I find him to be a man of obsessive ambitions with self-destructive petty impulses. McCain admits to a lifelong thin skin: as an infant, he held his breath until he was unconscious when angry. In Washington, he’s resorted to physical pushing and shoving of colleagues when irritated.

There is a list of examples when McCain is at his worst at this site. Check it out.

1. McCain was even in a friendly fire incident yesterday, cant keep track of enemies Attacked Mika

as an "Obama supporter" and said she "took a cheap shot" when she said 'but my brother works for your campaign"

Its only going to get worse this week as the real impact of his Economy failures and Gaffes hit him this weekend.

2. Sounds like he fits right in with the Bush/Cheney/Rove temperment club

Bush giving the finger and calling a reporter a major leage *******, Cheney telling someone to go **** himself in the Senate, Rove screaming, "We will **** him!"... McCain sounds like a charter member.
