McCAIN: ‘I apologize, but you’re still a shithead.’

Who’s afraid of John McCain?
Looks like Edward Albee might have been channeling Sentor John McCain and his wife Cindy when he wrote his famed play. After finding no fewer than 48 pages of hits about McCain’s infamous temper, I was finally compelled to stop at this little clip, which seems to simmer for itself.
From “Wonkette”:
Hey look, John McCain had an acid flashback to his days in the Mexican Hanoi Hilton and yelled at poor human condition-chronicler Elisabeth Bumiller of the NYT. Why? Because she asked about his conversation with John Kerry in 2004 to become his running mate. About halfway through the video, you can hear Cindy McCain throw a gin tumbler at the plane’s wall, just before McCain’s aides were able to feed her her Xanax/Oxycontin cocktail coated in strawberry cream cheese.

I’m so naive, I’d still like to believe that we might try to avoid a Whitehouse that more resembles a crack house.
Apparently both the man and his “Trollop” wife (his words, not mine) routinely pull the psycho act – whether the provocations be clinical or chemical. You do have to wonder how else this poor woman could manage to live with the man outlined in just these first few links:
[Calling his wife the C-Word just makes him gross. Calling her a "Trollop" means he doesn't know which century he's living in.]

I don’t mean to be disrespectful of people with mental handicaps, but please let’s get real. A McCain presidency should not even be under consideration, even if he is only a straw man. Sooner or later, someone’s bound to light a match around him.
GOP’s $120,000,000 Sow’s Ear
April 17, 2006
Looks like the Bushies are up to their old tricks. They’re spending a small fortune on an ambitious campaign to spin Straw Man John McCain into their very own golden boy:
“Governor Dean wrote to you this week about the $120 million fund to remake John McCain and destroy Senator Clinton and Senator Obama.
As part of their plan, John McCain will start a “Compassion Tour” next week designed to position him as a different kind of Republican.
He’ll be going into inner city neighborhoods and economically depressed towns, trying to reach out to voters his party traditionally ignores.
Sound familiar? Know any other Republican politicians who have claimed to be a “compassionate conservative”?
We’ve seen this campaign before: a Republican candidate who holds a dangerous and wrong opinion on Iraq, supported by piles of lobbyist and special interest money, who works non-stop to look folksy and compassionate; a Republican candidate who knows nothing about jobs and the economy, fixing health care or a rational foreign policy.
We’ve also seen how it turns out. They’re able to use their money to get the White House — and Americans are left with four years of a dangerous Republican president.”
Will America’s couch potatoes finally put down their corn dogs long enough to see how they’ve been manipulated? Or will we soon be seeing John McCain on “America’s Most Extreme Makeovers”?
