McCain Bristles at Accusation He Has a Bad Temper
AZCONSERVATIVE ^ | 13 May 2008 | John Semmens

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Senator John McCain (Ariz.) told a campaign audience that charges he has a bad temper make him angry. “In fact, I had to deck one of my senate colleagues for calling me ‘Senator Hothead,’” McCain announced. “For me, fighting for this country and my beliefs isn’t just a figure-of-speech.”

McCain argued that he is “the perfect candidate for those bitter Americans who cling to guns and religion and have antipathy toward those who hate our country.”

Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) called McCain’s remarks “a vindication of my plan to rejuvenate America by sweeping aside the angry oldsters Senator McCain represents.” Obama denied he was insensitive to the needs of the elderly. “Under my administration there will be death with dignity for these people,” he promised.

In related news, Obama boasted that he’s “campaigned in 57 states—more than any of my competitors. I think when it comes to showing that I want to represent all the people, I’ve walked the walk.” Obama said he regretted not being able to campaign in Hawaii, where he was born, but was advised against it “because Hawaii is not yet a state.”

This reads like a satire or comic sketch.

Yes, irony would occur if he actually got mad when you accused him of a bad temper. I think he would. Someone should try it.
