Sen. Reid notes McCain's temper issues in an interview w/ Norah O'Donnell.
Thought it was interesting that he did so since people like to pretend it doesn't exist and this man wants to make decision about war.

1. They should push hard on this! Do you want this man's finger on the button?
What exactly did he say? Did he cite examples?

3. I don't remember (and I can't watch youtube on my computer)
Would someone be so kind as to summarize it :)

His temper blow ups at the press actually piss me off more than his temper flare ups with other politicians. It's unprofessional that he freaks the fuck out so much on his colleagues, but it really pisses me off whenever I see him going off on a reporter, and the reporter is usually asking a pretty inoffensive question and doing their job.

4. She Was Covering The Primary For NBC (I Think) After He Lost A Primary...
She asked him a question (How do you feel...)as he was walking and he blew up, saying stuff like "How the ___ do you think I feel" & "What a stupid ____ question" and gave her just an ugly sneer and stormed off. I think he even went through a door and slammed it. She looked visibly shocked as it happened and it was replayed a lot.

5. I hope Obama can push his buttons in the debate and cause him to go off
That would be awesome. Then they would repeat it over and over again like they did the Dean scream (which was wrong by the way)and destroy his chances. I don't mind if they do it to a Republican though. LOL People need to know if he is truly a loose cannon.

8. No doubt he will.
In fact, I bet that will be Obama's strategy.

10. Hehe, I liked that reference
We need to get more Obama surrogates to hint at McCain's temper.
