Explosive McCain Temper

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1961200/posts

Defending His Amnesty Bill, Sen. McCain Lost His Temper And “Screamed, ‘F*ck You!’ At Texas Sen. John Cornyn” (R-TX). “Presidential hopeful John McCain - who has been dogged for years by questions about his volcanic temper - erupted in an angry, profanity-laced tirade at a fellow Republican senator, sources told The Post yesterday. In a heated dispute over immigration-law overhaul, McCain screamed, ‘F— you!’ at Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who had been raising concerns about the legislation. ‘This is chickens—stuff,’ McCain snapped at Cornyn, according to several people in the room off the Senate floor Thursday. ‘You’ve always been against this bill, and you’re just trying to derail it.’” (Charles Hurt, “Raising McCain,” New York Post, 5/19/07)

You mention McCain’s tirade against Senator Cornyn....

I think the worst part of that whole episode wasn’t even the cursing: it was the “I know know more than anyone in this room about immigration” bit. That kind of arrogance is unfitting of a man of power. It’s not only disrespectful, but it’s unhumble and small-minded.

And just as an aside, Senator Cornyn actually wrong an immigration bill most Freepers could have lived with, I think. It’s little wonder McCain dogged him.
