McCain ranked 2nd HOTTEST TEMPER, 2nd BIGGEST SHOW HORSE in Senate
Edited on Tue Feb-05-08 09:45 AM by PA Democrat
Is this the guy to whom Americans want to give the nuclear football?


I had to dig for this article from the Washingtonian, because I was pretty sure that McCain had a reputation for having an explosive temper. This ranking is done by surveying Capitol Hill staffers. I've also heard that McCain is generally disliked by many of his fellow Senators.

More info on the survey done by the Washingtonian here:

I don't want that guy anywhere near nuclear launch codes.

5. I know. But no one in the MSM seems to be discussing this.
I think it is something people need to know.

7. He'll have a moment sooner or later - count on it
There will be a time when he'll lose his temper, and the media will be there to capture it. He can only contain himself for so long.

2. Brainiest--Hillary Clinton. Show Horse--Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden.
Yep, I can see that.

3. What's the 'show horse' part?
I hadn't heard that one before.

6. SHUMER as "Showhorse" and "Biggest windbag?!1
and "most dangerous place: Between him and a camera." He's about the only Dem to stand up consistently against Shrub, particularly on Miguel ESTRADA and other judicial appointments.

Lindsay GRAHAM as "Straightest Shooter" is unintended comedic.
