This is a concerted effort by the GOP to lead to impeachment hearings. McCain is the guy to whom they gave the ball to lead the effort. Probably polling and focus groups led to that decision. This isn't anger, it's politics as usual. Hopefully it leads to a fillibuster-proof Senate and a Dem majority in the House in 2014.
