WASHINGTON - Temper, temper. Republican John McCain is known for his. He's been dubbed "Senator Hothead" by more than one publication, but he's also had some success extracting his hatchet from several foreheads.

Even his Republican Senate colleagues are not spared his sharp tongue.

"F--- you," he shouted at Texas Sen. John Cornyn last year.

"Only an a------ would put together a budget like this," he told the former Budget Committee chairman, Sen. Pete Domenici, in 1999.

"I'm calling you a f------ jerk!" he once retorted to Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley.

With Cornyn, he smoothed things over quickly. The two argued during a meeting on immigration legislation; Cornyn complained that McCain seemed to parachute in during the final stages of negotiations. "F--- you. I know more about this than anyone else in the room," McCain reportedly shouted.

If McCain weren't so stupid, he would've known better than to cater to the Liberal, drive by media.

Anyone could've seen this coming.

Maybe, just maybe his sharp tongue is what we need for a change. Frankly, I think most conservatives would enjoy the Prez calling that little weasel harry reid a “f-—ing crook” and then call the pelosi critter and “ignorant c-—”. Both instances which of course he would be correct. ...and then inform them if you “f-— with the bull, you get the horn”

That should sufficiently shake up the snotty PC crowd on the east coast for a while....

It's the Republicans in a McCain presidency that he'll be calling a fk'n crook, c.... (read without the elipses); etc.

This Rino should not be President.

Hopefully, an Obama presidency with its high taxes, runious inflation, and home based terrorist attacks (some quite spectacular)- will teach the populous and the Republican elite not to push for people out of fear of the drive by media or because they think someone with terrible policies is new and fresh.

It's like George Orwell's 1984 with McCain and the drive by media. "Eurasia is no longer the enemy. Eastasia is the enemy. Eastasia has always been the enemy."

Isn’t HRC famous for having a ‘sharp tongue’ and insulting her aides?

Wow! Do people talk like this in the real world?

Looks like some sanctimonious FReepers live in a make-believe world because they’ve never heard these words before or told someone to go frack themselves.

McCain provides plenty of ammo for the MSM in this regard:

Watch McCain show his utter disdain for people from home state when they ask about illegals.

Watch his handler threaten a woman asking about illegals raping children.

Ahh, I didn’t see that in his post and your main line of reasoning seems to be insults so I’ll just chalk up your belligerence to hitting the bottle too late or not getting your morning coffee yet.

Now that I think about it maybe he’s not as disagreeable as I thought. We need more cussing less spending. As a matter of fact didn’t the Republicans spend themselves out of office in 2006?

You only get two choices, McPain and Hillobama. Two not three.
