Media watchers have been wondering how long it will take press representatives to start attacking John McCain now that he's become almost the certain Republican nominee for president.
On February 16, the wait ended, as the Associated Press went on a literally vulgar tirade about the Arizona senator's temper that would make Madonna blush.
Almost.
As reported Saturday (emphasis added throughout, h/t NBer DaBird, readers are warned about voluminous edited vulgarity):
Temper, temper. Republican John McCain is known for his. He's been dubbed "Senator Hothead" by more than one publication, but he's also had some success extracting his hatchet from several foreheads.
Even his Republican Senate colleagues are not spared his sharp tongue.
"F--- you," he shouted at Texas Sen. John Cornyn last year.
"Only an a------ would put together a budget like this," he told the former Budget Committee chairman, Sen. Pete Domenici, in 1999.
"I'm calling you a f------ jerk!" he once retorted to Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley.
With Cornyn, he smoothed things over quickly. The two argued during a meeting on immigration legislation; Cornyn complained that McCain seemed to parachute in during the final stages of negotiations. "F--- you. I know more about this than anyone else in the room," McCain reportedly shouted.
Hmmm. Three edited f-words in the first six paragraphs. Could that be a wire service record?
Sadly, all that vulgarity was a set-up to dissuade voters from considering McCain:
The political landscape in Arizona, McCain's home state, is littered with those who have incurred his wrath. Former Gov. Jane Hull pretended to hold a telephone receiver away from her ear to demonstrate a typical outburst from McCain in a 1999 interview with The New York Times.
McCain has even blown up at volunteers and, on occasion, the average Joe.
He often pokes fun at his reputation: "Thanks for the question, you little jerk," he said last year to a New Hampshire high school student wondering if McCain, at 71, was too old to be president.
Other times, his ire is all too real. This has prompted questions about whether his temperament is suited to the office of commander-in-chief or whether it might handicap him in a presidential campaign against either Barack Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton, who are not known for such outbursts.
"I decided I didn't want this guy anywhere near a trigger," Domenici told Newsweek in 2000.
Hillary Clinton is not known for such outbursts? Really? That's not what George Stephanopoulos and Dee Dee Myers have said.
In fact, according to multiple former colleagues of the current junior senator from New York, she has a mouth that would make an AP writer blush.
Almost.

Although language like this should endear him to the hollyweird crowd and liberal elites. The "F" word is so vogue amongst the "in" crowd.

They watch our political process almost as closely as we do, and maybe a little more. They will know that McCain does not have the American people behind him, and they know that the support he's getting from party big wigs is all for show. He will be in a very weak position and they know it.

February 16, 2008 - 21:48 ET by R D HelmMcCain may very well know what is coming to a certain extent, but I do not think he realizes the zeal that will be fueling it.
The MSM has been giving him the kid-glove treatment for so long that I think he really believes that many in the MSM truly like him. What I think he fails to realize is that, at the end of the day, he is still a republican (even if a RINO) who at least somewhat supports our efforts in the GWOT.
They are going to savage the man beyond anything he has ever experienced.

The true Dogs of War, the MSM and the DNC, will rip him apart and stuff his innards down his throat. And it won't matter which Dem wins the nomination. I do have one prediction. Obama will call for civility when it comes to the race against McCain, but will be bolstered by the fact that the MSM will do all the dirty work for him.
And there is NO way McCain will be able to combat this.

CT, I agree.
February 16, 2008 - 22:23 ET by R D HelmMcCain no-longer has the mental sharpness to deal with what is coming. Having watched him carefully in the debates, he seems to quite easily lose his concentration.
The heavy stuff won't get cranked up until he has the nomination all sown up, and then it will be on. They are going to throw everything they have at him, including the kitchen sink, the tubs, the showers, the toilets and the two cars parked in the driveway. Then they are going to move nextdoor for some more stuff.
It is going to be brutal. And like you, I do not believe he will be able to handle it.
McCain may be a RINO, but, at the end of the day, he is still a republican that is perceived by most people to support our efforts in the GWOT. No way that the 96% +/- libs in the MSM will let up on him.
R D... Yes, it will be

Yes, it will be brutal. There is an awful lot out there on McCain already. The MSM and the left is holding back with this stuff temporarily, but they are just itching to let the floodgates open on him.
I have been doing a lot of research on some of the claims made against him and on the surface it looks bad for him, real bad. Everytime I ask people that defend McCain over these claims, they have not been able to answer pertinent questions. This worries me.
Set the GOP back on the right course. http://gopteaparty.com/
The MSM is holding back for now.
February 16, 2008 - 22:44 ET by R D HelmThey want to make darn sure that he is the republican nominee. Once that is etched in stone, all of their prior pretensions of liking this man will rapidly disappear.
It will be the MSM equivalent of the rectal exam from hell, and, with all due respect to bt, who I love dearly, I don't think McCain has a clue as to how deep it is going to go.
Ouch, is all I can say.

You are correct on two counts.
The MSM and the left will wait for the perfect timing. But, as you point out, their hand may be forced because so many on the internet won't want to wait.
There has already been quite few things that have been hyped on the net about his past, and almost all of it coming from our side of the aisle.

February 16, 2008 - 23:05 ET by R D HelmI failed to mention that they aren't going to all go after him overnight, as they do not want to be seen as piling on. However, the puff pieces they have been putting out there about McCain will cease as soon as he wins the nod. From then on, it will be all downhill. And I agree, the most damaging stuff probably won't hit until a month or so before the election.
However, even if they sink him early, I don't think the boneheads who are currently running the party will do anything, as they seem to be as clueless as can be.
BTW-You have to realize that I am still holding out hope, faint as it is, that McCain is going to somehow manage to self-torpedo before the convention. :-)

February 17, 2008 - 00:01 ET by R D HelmMy heart says Fred, of course, but he doesn't seem interested. Second choice would be Hunter, but he doesn't have the name recognition, as yet, that I believe would be required to prevail in a national election.
Given the current positions of the rest of the field, which, the party will be unable to ignore, my guess would be Romney and Huck. I think either of these guys could beat Obama if they run really
good campaigns, as I do not see Obama as being nearly as formidable as
many here do. The man is an empty suit.
Romney would be formidable in the debates against Obama, whereas McCain would get clobbered.
LOL-I could live with Huck as VP, simply due to his support for the Fair Tax.
If McCain had not been in the mix, I think Romney would be on top right now.
I could see myself voting for him against Obama or Hillary. Not so for McCain.

February 16, 2008 - 21:55 ET by shawn228This might be little off topic but stil related in the way. You said unless McCain picks a conservative running mate you will not vote for him. I actually do you see your point of view for not voting for him.
You also said however that you want to vote for our congress. To keep it even. You said you doubt that will happen. You have to defend well over 20 seats in the senate, I get that part. Why do not believe conservatives can take back the house? Every seat is open for re-election?

anything can happen between now and then, I am not ever going to make predictions again with an optimistic attitude when it comes to politics, especially this year...the House has lost about thirty seats on my side of the aisle by congressmen who are not going to run again, it is a big stretch to think we could retake Congress in either area...something major would have to happen in this country for that to happen IMHO.

An appreciation for John McCain
February 16, 2008 - 21:52 ET by Lame CherryRonald Reagan John McCain is not nor is he George or George Bush, but just because one leader acts one way does not mean the other leader is not acceptable.
Omar Bradley was a favorite of his men, because of his quiet attitude. George Patton was a favorite of his men, because he was flamboyant.
John McCain is an ass kicker. He has been one his entire life with a grudge in his craw and a chip on his shoulder. None of that makes Strangecain unfit for office. I know if John McCain had been President during the Carter years the Ayatollah Khomeini would not have had American hostages and the Soviets would not have marched into Afghanistan.
That is who John McCain is and he talks exactly in the gutter talk of how he operates. Putin and him both are thugs and as you can see Putin pulled Russia together quite well being a thug.
As much as I write about John McCain being unfit, it is about his globalist policies of amnesty and a united North America.......not about his starting a war. He will start a war as that is what is coming.
McCain would be an effective leader. The Soviets thinking Reagan was nuts did a pretty good job of keeping them in line. McCain is prone to being reactionary and it would be of benefit to American interests.
I would also add who among us has not looked at those worthless dolts in Congress of the GOP and uttered phrases similar to what McCain spews as we realize we have a bunch of RINO idiots there incapable of understanding a thing.
In all of that.........it only proves my point. Lynn Cheney needs to be on the ticket as Vice President. Give a rolling pin to knock John over the head the first time he spouts off and she will keep him in line 9 out of 10 times. That is all John McCain needs is a bigger stick in the room to kick his ass. Lynn Cheney can do it and would do it.
When one is stuck with the horse in a desert who bites chunks out of you, you don't shoot the thing as that is the only horse you got. You grab a stick and whack it over the head and ride on.
John McCain just needs to be whacked a little and the ranch will run pretty good. Teddy Roosevelt only had 2 good horses on his ranch of 50 mounts.........John McCain isn't a good mount, but you got to ride him. Get a stick and make him go where you want him to go.
Obama? He and Gore are going to lay down in the midstream and give up as they are not good rides.

AP is an embarrassment, but McCain is in big trouble.
February 17, 2008 - 00:31 ET by NBFYes, it will get worse for McCain, and the usual conservative foot soldiers won't be very motivated to defend him as they wait to see what third party candidate they can vote for in this sure-fire loss of an election year.
McCain IS in trouble
February 18, 2008 - 15:40 ET by deerjerkydavePrior to super Tuesday I told the McCainiacs over at townhall that this was going to happen. I've also heard rumors from Carl Cameron on foxnews that ethics charges may be hitting McCain in the coming months. This could be the final nail in McCain's coffin. McCain does not have the money to defend himself from these attacks for 9 months straight. His own bill, McCain Feingold gives the MSM more power over politics. And talk radio will hold its nose and meagerly defend him.
The only hope of the Republican party this election cycle is two things:
1. Hillary is the nominee and Barracka supporters don't show up to vote in November in protest.
2. McCain swings hard to the right on issues and promises to govern as a conservative. Then he can easily contrast himself from Hillary and give conservatives someone to support.
JFK
February 17, 2008 - 00:59 ET by KC MulvilleA fellow I used to work with, years ago, said that he knew a guy who worked in the White House while JFK was president. (Yeah, I know it makes this ancient hearsay, but so what?) This WH worker said that JFK could swear with anybody. When JFK was mad, his language was as vulgar as could be.
But, said the same guy, remember who we were talking about. JFK was Irish, and not only was JFK in the Navy, he saw plenty of action. That's a hell of a combination. Of course he swore like a sailor -- he was one!
McCain is Irish, and he was a flier in the Navy. What do you expect? That doesn't bother me in the slightest.

The MSM has had more
February 17, 2008 - 01:21 ET by jpm100The MSM has had more influence on elections recently since before Reagan's time. I think there are two reasons for this:
1) a public beat into submission by being told how bad they are for not supporting the liberal agenda and no one from the right with the same reach telling them otherwise.
2) a disconnect between those on the Right 'in the know' and the general public. Basically political minded righties get information from the internet and talk radio so they can sidestep the tradition MSM. The general public doesn't get their new from anything but the MSM including many conservatives.
Those of us who follow blogs and talk radio know when the MSM BS is flying. But the problem is we assume everyone else knows. So we dismiss it and are silent. Problem is that most still get their news only from the MSM and no one is telling them otherwise.

February 17, 2008 - 09:21 ET by USA4freedomI think there is one more big reason.

February 17, 2008 - 01:34 ET by MidAmericaWith the correct campaign McCain could win in a landslide against either obama or hillary. He doesn't need the msm. Nixon, Reagan and a couple of Bush's didn't have the 'scribes' on their side and they still won. It's totally up to McCain and his staff to see if they can put together a winning strategy.

John's Temper is Probably the only Good Reason to Vote FOR him
March 9, 2008 - 20:26 ET by ChrisNYCThere are many excellent reasons on which sane men and women can agree on to NOT vote for John McCain in the 2008 Presidential race (see McCain: The Myth of a Maverick), but being huffy and puffy and pissed off isn't one of them.
David Allyn, Ph.D., author of: I Can't Believe I Just Did That makes the case that hiding one's emotions in order to be "nice" or "accepted" does way more harm (to you and others) than good.
