This disgraceful performance should be his Nixon At the Debate "moment."
Watch Youtube: "John McCain Losing His Cool."
As the pressure increases is it possible McCain may come completely unhinged?
thanks but no thanks.
He is unpleasant, and obnoxious. What a dick.
They strike me as having a parasitic relationship. Cindy provides the cash, John provides the "prestige" of being a senator.
"Georgetown cocktail-party person"? Who, like him?
"Me thinks thou dost protest too much John......"

An estate belonging to presidential hopeful John McCain is up for auction.
The 13-bedroom home was the childhood home of McCain’s wife, Cindy, according to a press release from The Larsen Co., which is handling the sale.
(Click here for an aerial view of the home.)
“Her (Cindy’s) parents built the home in 1951,” said Stewart Larsen, president of Larsen Co. “When she and John got married, they moved in and raised the kids there for 20 years until two years ago.”
Some of the more lavish amenities at the 2.7-acre estate include a full bar and playhouse, theater room, 4-bedroom guest casita, wine-tasting room, and 7-car garage. The house has 14.5 bathrooms, a pool, three ramadas and “resort style grounds.”
The 15,000-square-foot home, which will be auctioned at 1 p.m. on Oct. 25, is at 7110 N. Central Avenue, which is just north of Glendale Avenue in north Phoenix.
Larsen said there’s no minimum bid, but the house is appraised at $12 million and it’s up to the McCains whether or not to accept the highest bid.

Enjoy!
That made my morning.
But, to put it better in perspective, he was relying HEAVILY on attacking Obama for lack of experience, where Obama clearly had a command of his subject matter, and it was quite a bit of difference of opinion.
Then he sits next to Palin, while she blathers on completely ignorant, using buzzwords only, and tries to look the part of the patient man, while she makes a fool of herself and shows incredible ignorance.
This is the grizzled navy guy? It's hard to put into words, but the connection needs to be made even more, if VP she COULD be president. She can't hold a candle to Obama, that has to be clear to ANYONE that can objectively stand to listen to her for more than ten minutes.
It's ridiculous.
It continues to amaze me that he is a "hero" simply because he was an ineffective combat pilot who spent the war as a POW. . .and a career in which he continually sucked at the teat of the taxpayers while confessing he never loved his country until he was 31. This man is a Republican welfare queen of the highest magnitude - is there anything provided by taxpayers that he has ever turned away?
Good god, stick a mic in front of my face and I could spin those questions into positive outcomes in a second.
A. Beer money
B. Gambling
He is such a sleaze.

I rest my case.
My dad was a mean man....but he never was that kind of a sarcastic mean old man.
You can tell it's not the gravy ride he once got from the media. You can tell he's pissed that he's being "questioned" like that.
Wanna bet they didn't have donuts for him....and that's what really ticked him off to begin with?
And what the hell was he talking about astronauts for when he was asked about healthcare?
Finally, he must not read George Will, watch CNN (David Frum) or read the National Review since he says he hasn't heard of any conservatives having problems w/ Palin.
We need more interviews like this shown to a national audience...more I tell you!

I just can't fathom that the R ticket is so thoroughly decompressing; it feels like a matter of days until either he attacks a bystander or she just melts into total glossolalia. It's almost too good to believe.
You know, we have 2 more Presidential debates and I have this observation. I've seen alot of interviews with him over the campaign and it seems that when he's sitting at a table, he lets his guard down and more of the angry side comes out. Almost like he's ready to start hitting the table with his fists. At a podium he's a bit stiff and not as aggressive. All I can say is one of the next two Presidential debates is a round table. He's liable to lose it sitting that close to Obama. Maybe he'll take his shoe off and start pounding it on the table.
Wouldn't it be awesome if the Secret Service had to rush in and take Obama off stage! LOL!

He retired from the Navy in 1981 as a full bird Captain having served since his first year at Annapolis in 1954 -- 27 years. Therefore he was entitled to FULL military as well as veterans administration healthcare -- he could take his pick from either or.
Last time I checked those were taxpayer funded even in 1981 so that means that he was covered by taxpayer healthcare his entire life -- as dependent children are covered when their parents serve. In his case his daddy the admiral.
He was a real jerk in his reply to the question.
