McCain's Violent History!!
John McCain's biographer Robert Timberg on McCain's temperment:
‘Skousen and many others have chronicled McCain's violent temper. Even as a young man, McCain was "a strikingly violent man." Timberg quotes McCain describing his propensity for violence, even as a youngster, saying, "At the smallest provocation I would go off into a mad frenzy, and then suddenly crash to the floor unconscious."

Wonder what caused his rages? I mean, isn't that a little unusual? I've never known anybody like that.

Maybe he was anticipating being a POW and practicing for when it would become his rationalization for any bizarre behavior or outburst.
All genuinely malicious snark* aside, what it told me is that he is barely able to control his well-publicized temper. I look forward to a televised meltdown at some point during a debate. I want to see his face go from red to purple as it contorts in anger and he begins to shout obscenities at Obama and the camera. At that point, it's over.
* At this point, my contempt for McCain can barely be contained.

My dear Old Grouch, no one at TMP would ask you to contain your contempt. In fact, I venture to say that there is no level of contempt for McCain that would be inappropriate given his history, his whole history and nothing but his history. And, yes, I am referring to Songbird McCain, the not so heroic POW.

I feel very sorry for John McCain.
Sorry he went and dropped bombs on people during the Vietnam War Crime; sorry he was shot down and taken prisoner; sorry he made it back to the states alive; sorry someone in the US actually voted for him; sorry he's been in the senate voting against the best interests of our country for so long; sorry he got nominated (Romney's magic mormon underwear was funnier than his senility).
And I'll feel very very very sorry for Mr and Mrs America, and all the ships at sea, if McSenile and Annie Oakley are elected.
