"John McCain is a scary thought as a potential president. While he generally manages to look halfway sane, I have seen occasions where his eyes exposed an insanity that is eerie to behold. The man did a great service and suffered greatly as a POW, but he does not belong in government, much less as President.."

An excellent assessment and I am in total agreement.
This is outburst is a perfect example of why McCain (A) Ran his 2000 primary campaign into the ground. (B) Will run his 2008 primary campaign into the ground.
The guy is just not stable. That said, I wouldn't mind having him be POTUS the day after the next 9-11. He might really go bonkers and let it rip at the Islamo-Nazis. Maybe the GOP can just lock him in a glass case in the bottom of the Pentagon and break him out when they need a Dr. Strangelove moment.
