Cliff Schecter has a new book out, "The Real McCain", in which he documents McAncient's barely contained rage. He's been known to call other politicians "assholes" and "shitheads", but when he called his wife Cindy a "cunt" while campaigning for the Senate in 1992 he may have set a new standard for misogyny and lack of class.
McAncient, who owes his financial (and therefore, his political) status to Cindy, his wealthy, trophy second wife, has a legendary temper, which may prove to be a fatal flaw in the election. One Rethug (!) Senate colleague, Thad Cochran from Mississippi, said not long ago:
"The thought of him being President sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper, and he worries me."
Worries us too, but for the mainstream media, he's just Straight Talking John.
