Don't Make McCain Angry

You won't like him when he's angry. They make John McCain sound like The Incredible Hulk. Today I saw yet another news story that examined Senator and Republican Presidential hopeful John McCain's infamous temper. So I did a little research and to the best of my knowledge McCain never turned green and grew so much that his clothes ripped off. Senator McCain has earned a well deserved reputation as someone who pumps his fist and shouts in heated arguments. Depending on which side of the aisle you are on, that either makes him a hot head or passionate about what he believes in. The worst example of McCain's temper that I could find was in a 1992 meeting where he and another senator got into a shouting match and perhaps there was some pushing. The meeting was concerning whether any American servicemen were still being held by the Vietnamese. Given what McCain had been through in Vietnam, it's not all that surprising. Of all of the "non-issues" being raised about the Candidates, this is the most trivial. Exactly what is everybody so worried about? Do people think that as President, McCain would get some foreign dignitary in a head-lock? And why is it that the Hulk's shorts never ripped? I suppose even the Hulk had some sense of decency.
