McCain's Angry Interview With Des Moines Editorial Board; Unbelievable

[EV_Ares]

Earlier today, John McCain met with the Des Moines Editorial Board in Iowa-- and the rest will be history.

His angry interview--- one of the worst I've ever seen--- highlights one of the scariest aspects of a McCain presidency.

We have seen what happens when a president views the world through black and white lenses. What is going to happen when we get that same president, but with a hair trigger temper?

1. He's throwing in the towel. If he keeps that up, he won't win 150EVs.

What a fucking asshole. Why did he even go to Iowa if he was going to buckle under pressure and let his true self come out.

HE IS GONNA BLOW!!!!!

[Demit]

2. I've watched that & yes, he's sarcastic & biting, and you can infer he's angry, but

he is not exactly exploding. He is hostile, and his tone drips with contempt, but he's contained. I would characterize it as seething.

[tekisui]

3. That was about the most un-presidential behavior I've ever seen.

For a candidate that was bad. I am sure he's been angrier, and he seems to be heading that way, but that was very, very bad for a candidate who is sinking in the polls.

14. Seething sums it up- slow boil - wonder what it would take to blow his top? n/t

[Demit]

20. When it comes time for him to make his concession speech?

I'd love to be a fly on the wall then.

[FatDave]

26. He'll probably just refuse to make one.

Maybe he'll lead a great republican secession.

[SuperTrouper]

28. Excellent choice of words! McSeething!!

LOL!!

[Glimmer of Hope]

4. He reminds me of someone else who see the world through black and white lenses.

It must be a real joy to live and work with him.

5. Chilling...

If you haven't volunteered or donated to the Obama campaign yet, this video should be ample movtivation. We have to do EVERYTHING we can to ensure that this man never sets foot in the Oval Office.

[tekisui]

6. I Second that!

What a dangerous person. So vile, so hot headed and reactionary.

With a dipshit on deck.

7. what a jerk!!!

:argh: angry old man seems to be his way of living these days :nuke:

[Kaylee]

8. I didn't see a temper, just complete assholery....

What a jerk.:thumbsdown:

[polichick]

9. He hasn't detected that some conservatives think Palin is unqualified...

He stands by the sex ed ad ~ this guy is just another Republican sociopath.

[LibraLiz1973]

10. WOW. Wow wow wow. Not very statesman like.

[kikiek]

11. There is the John McCain we hear about from the Hill. That is the one he is trying to restrain.

[mod mom]

12. I'll gladly rec'd every thread on this so this video gets out.

[polichick]

13. Wonder what the paper will write about him.

[riona]

15. He has mastered the art of NOT answering questions.

I don't like the way he talked down to the reporter. It was undeserved. Anyone who crosses this guy better have thick skin or risk losing any self respect or confidence.

[sammytko]

16. did you notice - it was an all female panel -

dream on about getting the female vote dude!

[secondwind]

17. what we are seeing is a person barely able to control himself..........

because he isn't President.

Yet.

What will President McCain be like, I wonder............. :scared:

[workinclasszero]

18. McCain is mentally unstable

and unfit to be the president of the United States.

If he gets in it will be even worse than the Bush years!

[progressive_realist]

19. Wow... just wow. n/t

[BeyondGeography]

21. "And, by the way, I'll stop there."

You go Gramps! :thumbsup:

[2008]

22. ("He's an angry elf")

"Look at YOU!"

[maseman]

23. Here was one of the posts on the YOUtube site

Poor cranky old bitch - give him some warm milk and tuck him into bed.

:rofl:

[maseman]

24. I don't think this will sink his campaign

But little things like this certainly add up when people are making their decisions. KO or Stewart need to show this clip.

[CitizenLeft]

27. even though I'm on the pc in another room, I just heard part of this...

...on MSNBC. Don't know what Mitchell's commentary was, I missed that, but I did hear the last bit of it. So they did show it.

[eshfemme]

25. Have you guys noticed that the voices asking him questions are female?

Is he getting extra pissy that he has to answer to women, whom he obviously has no respect for at all? I feel that this is why he's extra bitchy and snarky and frankly, condescending. Because the people asking him seem to be overwhelmingly, female editors.

[catgirl]

29. I guess he just wasted some precious time in Iowa

Too bad for the miserable rotten turd.
