Talk About Unhinged

Well, now...

Book: McCain temper boiled over in '92 tirade, called wife a 'cunt'

John McCain's temper is well documented. He's called opponents and colleagues* "shitheads," "assholes" and in at least one case "a fucking jerk."
But a new book on the presumptive Republican nominee will air perhaps the most shocking angry exchange to date.
The Real McCain by Cliff Schecter, which will arrive in bookstores next month, reports an angry exchange between McCain and his wife that happened in full view of aides and reporters during a 1992 campaign stop. An advance copy of the book was obtained by RAW STORY....

*"McCain used the f-word," an anonymous shithead former senator said. "McCain called the guy a ‘shithead.' The senator demanded an apology. McCain stood up and said, ‘I apologize, but you're still a shithead.' That was in front of 40 to 50 Republican senators. That sort of thing happened frequently."
"Fuck you," he shouted at Texas Sen. John Cornyn last year.
"Only an asshole would put together a budget like this," he told the former Budget Committee chairman, Sen. Pete Domenici, in 1999.
"I'm calling you a fucking jerk!" he once retorted to Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley.


In fairness to McCain, Cornyn and Grassley are both fucking jerks, and Domenici is a HYoooooooooOOOOGE @SSH@LE.

He sounds like someone I would like to have a beer with.

If this was all they could pin on me for abusing people since 1992, I'd be pretty happy!

Perhaps the news hasn't filtered down deres to Tasmania yet, but there's this war in Iraq that McCrazzzy has been cheerleading that has led to the deaths of thousands (or hundreds of thousands...) of Iraqis, while completely destablizing the region, AND when in it's all said and done (when we win, whatever that means), like in a jillion years, it will have cost THREE TRILLION DOLLARS.

And in addition to that, he called his wife a cunt.

Does that make it clearer?

Wait! What about his wife? That sounds important.

For da record: McCain is a hot-tempered nutjob (see: unhinged). Everybody who will be singed to a crispy crackly crust over the 2009-2017 s#i+-blowing-up season, remember, you were warned: you knew da risks.
