New Orleans (AP) --
Republican Sen. John McCain, showing a flash of the temper he is known for, repeatedly cut off a reporter Friday when asked whether he had spoken to Democratic Sen. John Kerry about being his vice president in 2004.
"Everybody knows that I had a private conversation. Everybody knows that, that I had a conversation," McCain told the reporter. "And you know it, too. No. You know it, too. No. You do know. You do know."
The reporter, Elisabeth Bumiller of The New York Times, was following up on a question McCain had answered at a campaign event Friday morning in Atlanta. Asked if he might consider Kerry as a running mate, since Kerry asked him in 2004, McCain said no.
Afterward, on a campaign flight, Bumiller said she looked in the Times' archives and that McCain had denied talking with Kerry in a May 2004 story.

Showing anger to a New York Times reporter?
McCain must be trying to win over conservatives.
So the answer to the question was?....
Temper - most unnatural human emotion. Can’t wait till Liberals take over the country and possess every soul, so all Males who display this vile emotion can either be locked up or neutered.
Then he should have called him a Major League Clymer.
Corner the RAT and it will bite!
John McCain, acting like the Democrat he is.
Oh I forgot. McCain can’t get angry, and he can’t get “testy”, or even “irritated” by reporters from the NYTimes. Otherwise the Manchurian Candidates posts start appearing.
As for answering the question, he did. He said he doesn’t have to answer the question because it was private. He should have asked the reporter what did her lesbian lover whisper in her ear last night.
It’s kinda irrelevant at this point, isn’t it? He’s the nominee. The reporters had their chance to make this a big issue, but decided not to. Too late now.
46 seconds.
He was questioned about his conversation with John F’in Kerry where Kerry asked him if he’d consider being his running mate.
I think he was irritated because he doesn’t want that story being brought up whilst trying to win over the conservative vote! At least that’s my take on it....
Big deal. I wish everyone would get angry at these self-righteous liberals.
I think the answer to the question is pretty clear.
