Prickly McCain -- The Angry Old Man

Guess who's losing his bearings? He can't even get along with Time magazine, imagine his diplomacy in the future if we're unfortunate enough to have him as president. John McCain is presenting himself as the prickly, angry old man he is.

Wouldn't you think it would be an honor to be an elder statesmen and wax philosophical about such high flown concepts as "What is honor?" Not for McCain!

From an article called, "McCain's Prickly TIME Interview":

There's a theme that recurs in your books and your speeches, both about putting country first but also about honor. I wonder if you could define honor for us?
Read it in my books.

I've read your books.
No, I'm not going to define it.

But honor in politics?
I defined it in five books. Read my books.

Read it in my books? That's your final answer? Would you like to use one of your lifelines, such as Lieberman or Graham?

That really is prickly!

Well, He's Hotheaded, Check It and See

How do you like how blustery and belligerent John McCain's been lately, with this trouble with Russia? I really think he'd love to go to war as the first option. With his whole military persona and history, he sounds exactly like the kind of guy who'd bomb first, negotiate later.

After eight years of a self-declared "war president" who couldn't be bothered with diplomacy, I hope the American people have moved on, and are looking for a president who is more even-tempered. How many more of our people (and others) have to die for these guys' egos?

To paraphrase John Kerry: "How would you like to be the last guy to die for John McCain's ego?"

McCain Temper Tantrum? "I Hit The Roof"

John McCain was spotted with a bandage on his head. He said he hit it on a car while getting out during his trip to Canada last Friday.

The money quote from the Republican senator was this: "I was getting out of the car in Canada and I hit the roof a teenie bit."

We have heard of McCain's great temper, that he is subject to tantrums that make a daycare center look like a coma ward. Perhaps this is what he is signaling in his explicit comment, "I hit the roof..." This is a well-known phrase that means great anger.
