Take the Senator HotHead McCain quiz on the New Yorker
Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 12:16 PM by Ichingcarpenter
The quiz has a lot of the history of quotes and opinions of John McCain

I got 10 out of 15

One that I missed;


1. What did Richard Kimball, John McCain’s opponent in his 1986 Senate race, do during a debate that got McCain so upset that, according to his aide Jay Smith, he “wanted to kill” Kimball?

(a) He pointed out that McCain had referred to the retirement community Leisure World as “Seizure World.”

(b) He revealed that McCain was standing on a riser behind his podium.

(c) He said, “I’m not the one who left his disabled first wife so he could marry a rich young beer heiress.”

Insane McCain than I every wanted to know. And if I know this stuff why doesn't the MSM? The New Yorker is the best.

6. I guessed on the 'shut up' or f*ck you questions
It is a good questionnaire on the voter's knowledge of McCain's hotheadedness
