A re-visit to McCain's "angry" letter to Obama...

[kentuck]

This is relevant because McCain may be the next nominee of the Republican Party. For him to sit down and write such an angry letter may or may not say something about the man? However, it does say that the Republican Party should be very careful about who it tries to label as "angry". They may have their thumb on the trigger and the gun may be turned in the wrong direction? Just saying...Democrats can use this "angry" label also. There are numerous examples within the Republican Party. I also recall Ted Stevens standing up on the Senate floor and screaming like a two-year old that if he didn't get his bridge, he was going to leave the Senate...

1. Shrub used it against him too

In the 2000 campaign there were a lot of "rumors" being spread about how unstable McCain was, how quick to anger. Frankly it was a bunch of bull, but it was repeated endlessly by the MSM. McCain, IMHO, won't be anywhere near the puke nomination unless the washington scandals really blow up and they need a "clean" candidate that they can sell as a reformer. Otherwise he is just a useful fool for the neocons.

2. I'm not sure it was bull

I know Senate staffers and all of them say McCain is a major hothead. He strikes me as awfully quick to anger, and his classless letter to Obama doesn't do much to dissuade me. The fact that McCain was running against someone who was a bigger dick than he was (hard as that is to imagine) doesn't take away from the fact that the "quick to anger" thing looks like one of the few things the MSM may have gotten right about the 2000 race.
