What a difference a couple months make.
I was looking for more research on McCain's anger problem, and stumbled upon this Reuters piece from May 7, 2008:
McCain Jokes About Legendary Temper
Read McCain's response:
ROCHESTER, Mich. - John McCain answered a question about his legendary temper on Wednesday with a good-natured growl.
"How dare you ask that question!" McCain said to laughter from the audience at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan.temper.jpg
McCain proceeded to use the question as a way to focus on his own concerns, ranging from disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff’s past influence in the U.S. Congress to what he considers out-of-control government spending.
"I will confess to you my friend that I do get angry. I get angry when I saw a guy named Abramoff that ripped off Native Americans for millions and millions and millions of dollars," McCain said.
"I get angry when I see $233 million of your tax dollars going to ... a bridge to an island with 50 people on it," referring to an Alaskan lawmaker’s bid to get money for a bridge McCain opposed.
"I get angry when I see corruption to the point when we have former members of Congress in federal prison."
"And you know something? The American people are angry too ... They’re mad and they’ve lost their temper," the Arizona senator added.
If these things truly made him angry, then he logically must hate Sarah Palin.
To respond to your three anger-inducing examples....
- What about close Abramoff associate Steven Silver, who Sarah Palin used to get more than $8,000,000 in earmarks for her tiny little Alaskan town?
- What about the well-published fact that Sarah Palin actively and vocally supported the "bridge to nowhere" project for many months until it became politically unwise to do so, and kept the money anyway?
- Oh, you mean someone like...
???
I'm guessing that, today, you'd pick three different examples that make you "angry", right Senator? Or didn't you know that Sarah Palin was the absolute poster child for the kind of corruption you claimed to be against?
Oops.
