john mccain is angry, angry, angry. and he can't control it.

[cali]

I saw the clip of him- barely controlled- saying that they weren't going to discuss the vetting process with the press any further. I read joe klein's incredibly revealing post about how angry, angry, angry, mccain is and how he and his staff are bullying and browbeating reporters.

john mccain is no longer a media darling. he's alienated them.

john mccain has an anger problem. we all knew it. now he's showing it.

1. We need to push him to nuclear!!

[rateyes]

I hope he blows his top over something petty. nt

[livetohike]

2. He doesn't have the judgment or temperament to be President

and they know it, too. I just hope the media doesn't roll over and die, but I think they are ticked off at the McCain campaign and will keep on it.

[Kerrytravelers]

9. And I love how Obama keeps saying "judgement and temperment." Teehee.

:evilgrin:

[JuniperLea]

3. Heh!

It didn't take as long as I expected to see this:) When the debates come around, there may be blood:)

[katty]

4. i hope he spins out of control soon-for good

[Happyhippychick]

5. If his head explodes will there be an oil gusher instead of brains?

[trueblue2007]

13. Well we all know he doesn't have a heart.

[msallied]

6. This is perhaps the most beautiful ballet of political disaster I've ever been privy to witness. LOL

[cyndensco]

28. And the best part - THEY are the ones who are imploding!

:D :bounce:

[LaurenG]

7. I'm feeling no pity - I hope his head explodes in rage - show us who you really

are dude.

[cottonseed]

8. Do I smell "bunker mentality" coming? Yes, it is Bush's 3rd term.

[yardwork]

10. Sarah Palin has an anger problem, too.

Her associates say that she can't take criticism and becomes very angry if anyone questions her authority. She sounds like the chimp. I wonder if the two of them have been going after one another. I'd like to be a fly on the wall.

TaliPalin - You told me you had $#*!&^ control of this situation! You dragged me and my family into this @#^%*& and your $%*&^ staff doesn't know $#&%*&. What the #@$% are you going to do about it???!!

McPants - You didn't #$%&*^ tell me that your $%#&% daughter was $%&*^% up!! What the #$%@#??!! And what the *&^%$(*! is going on with your %$#@^&*% son???!! Now I hear that he &*%$# up and flunked out of school and vandalized some $#@%& school bus???!! What the $%#@$??!!

[Whisp]

26. lol, that's funny shit, yardwork. can I rec a post?

:)

[Growler]

11. Hey McCain!

Does it bug you when I do this? <poke>

How about this? <poke>

How about this? <poke>

How about this? <poke>

...

:rofl:

[afredus]

12. Won't be too long now. And it'll keep getting better as the weeks go by.

[Borgnine]

14. They painted Howard Dean as an angry loon in 2004...

...based on nothing. It shouldn't be hard to do the same to McCain, especially if he keeps pissing off and threatening members of the media.

[AndyTiedye]

23. The Key Word is "They"

"They" is the Mighty Slime Machine. The MSM WILL NOT do the same to McCain, because they are working to put him in the White House.

[hedgehog]

15. Not that I wish that anything bad happen to the man, but

is the theory of the Type A personality still valid - that angry people are more likely to have a heart attack?

If the McCain/Palin ticket gets nominated and if John MccIn has a stroke or hear attack, what then? Does Palin take the top of the ticket?

[Minimus]

17. I was wondering the same thing.

[hedgehog]

18. The notion of Palin at the top of the ticket really focuses your attention

on the possibility of her as VP, doesn't it?

[BrklynLiberal]

21. That is EXACTLY what the fundies are praying for....

Fundies praying for McCain's "speedy death."

[cyndensco]

30. Wow. They are so f*cked up!

[BeyondGeography]

16. In DC, they call him The White Tornado when he throws a fit

[npincus]

19. he can't handle that his stunt is backfiring.

I'll bet he's verbally abusive to Cindy, since apparantly she had advised him to take Palin.

[jhain]

20. What was that about 'temperment' again?

PUH

[codjh9]

22. Yeah, amongst all this other shit, I almost forgot that - his anger problem.

Do we really want a guy who can press The Button to have an anger problem???

[progressivebydesign]

33. and Palin is a vindictive control-freak. Soulmates indeed!! N/t

[windoe]

24. McCain needs his own anger alert code chart

Code Red- normal operations
Code Magenta- call the handlers
Code Orange- cancel all appointments
Code Radioactive- protective gear required!

[woo me with science]

25. He may go over the edge, seriously,

I don't think he really wanted her in the first place. Several GOP insiders have dropped hints that McCain really wanted Lieberman and allowed himself to be talked into Palin because of the right wingers' arguments about the base.

I think he is now seething with rage at the people who pushed her to him and at himself for giving in to it all. Look for serious division and upheaval within his whole camp now.

[AtomicKitten]

27. I'm hoping he implodes before a TV camera.

[stolivodka]

29. enjoy while we can

We need to enjoy this while we can, because, in a few days, the MSM will remember who pays for their McMansions and limo rides and will spend 3 weeks shamelessly flacking for McCain and Failin in order to "balance the scales".

[cali]

31. lol. look. the horses are out of the barn and stampeding

they can shut the barn door but that won't change anything. The ticket is a a bad soap opera. A twenty car pile up. they. are. fucked.

[progressivebydesign]

32. THAT is why the GOP has always avoided having him on a ticket...

He is the angriest man in politics! And it's NOT because of his POW experience, because there are people from his high school that say his nickname was "McNasty", because of his temper, and how he could rip someone to shreds verbally -- while others laughed.

This is what they've been afraid of.. first he had that outburst during the Time magazine interview, now he's taking on the journalists, AND he's got the church ladies at the convention calling out the journalists. The media attacks from the republican convention are the purple bandaids of 2004.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

34. Didn't he throw a fit and pull out of a scheduled interview on Larry King

because a CNN reporter asked one of his surrogates a reasonable question he didn't like? (I think it was a question asking the surrogate to name just one example of her use of the Alaska National Guard).

[jazzjunkysue]

35. I'm glad someone else is angry for a change, and he sure picked the perfect people: The press.

Bill Clinton: "Should we tell the people the real truth? That the media run the country?"

He just pissed off the wrong people. They will derail him. And they already love Obama.
