McCain's Out-of-Control Anger: Does He Have the Temperament to Be President?

WASHINGTON -- Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is considered a front-runner for the 2008 race, but does McCain have the temperament to be president?

As portrayed by the mainstream media, McCain is an engaging war hero, a man of political moderation positioned between the left and the right.

But to insiders who know him, McCain has an irrational, explosive side that make many of them question whether he is fit to serve as president and be commander in chief.

Nowhere is that sentiment stronger than in the Senate, where McCain has few friends or supporters. In fact, when McCain ran for the Republican nomination for president in 2000, only four Republican senators endorsed him...

Couldn't have said it better myself. This can come as no surprise to anyone who's followed the news on McCain, but it's lovely to see the right wing doing our work for us.

I know how you feel about NewsMax, but there are some great details in the story. Worth a complete read to get the full effect.

Oh, and Charlie Pierce agrees.
