Cadaveresque maverick, straight talking John McStain is going to clean up the nation's political discourse because....well you know, he has been quite a model of civility in the past.
– In a “heated dispute over immigration-law overhaul” last year, McCain screamed at Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), “F— you!” He added, “This is chickens- - - stuff. … You’ve always been against this bill, and you’re just trying to derail it.” [5/19/07]Obviously the Alzheimer's is getting worse.
-In a discussion over the “fate of Vietnam MIAs,” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) asked McCain, “Are you calling me stupid?” “No,” replied McCain, “I’m calling you a f—ing jerk!” [Newsweek, 2/21/00]
-At a GOP meeting in fall 1999, McCain “erupted” at Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) and shouted, “Only an asshole would put together a budget like this.” When Domenici expressed his outrage, McCain responded, “I wouldn’t call you an asshole unless you really were an asshole.” [Newsweek, 2/21/00]

I don't mind that, actually. At least he means it!
I love it that you dug this crap up, Maru. Thanks.
I'm trying now to figure out just what sound bytes and images and factoids and unflattering pix to put together with a McPain in the Ass little ditty for YouTube to spread the Rethuglican TAKEDOWN of 2008.
Oddly he saves his vitriol for his own party!
