John McCain, Senator Hothead Want to fight? John McCain is good at it.

John McCain bursts out of the cloakroom and onto the Senate floor. His face red, he rips off his glasses and gets ready to pound a table. Senator Hothead is mad. Again.

"He just comes out and blows up every once in a while," says a congressional correspondent, who didn't want to be named. "You can almost see the steam coming out of his ears."

It wasn't long before he found himself accused as a member of the Keating Five of trying to block an investigation of savings-and-loan mogul Charles Keating. The accusation was loaded with politics, and to this day he still gets red-faced over what he considers the taint on his honor. But rather than lick his wounds, McCain has fired back at some of the Senate's most treasured domains — campaign cash and pork-barrel spending — and damn the party affiliation.

Bit it is relevant today, considering the butt licking Democrats are giving his corpse.

Some say anger and discontent may lead to disease

...and some say it is a result of it. He had not been well for a very, very, very long time.

eats you up from the inside out

It doesn’t include the story of Sen. Grassley privately calling out McCain for his abandonment of American POWs in the POW Committee. McCain lost his temper and got physical. Sen. Bob Kerrey broke them up.

sounds very plausible to me especially if you have harbored it all your life

Aint gonah happen they can use it to bash Trump so they will ride it as long as possible.

MSNBC/CNN since McCain at room temp nothing but Trumps disrespect for an American Hero.

Those in the know say BS

McCain was no statesman, he was just a senator, for too long at that.

President Trump calls them as he see’s them. McLame was a traitor...pure and simple.

My opinion is : GUILT shuts down your normal systems of protection and you get sick.

"He just comes out and blows up every once in a while," says a congressional correspondent, who didn't want to be named. "You can almost see the steam coming out of his ears."

The steam is now but a cool breeze compared to the hot gases swirling around him in his current location.

Also from the same article is this:

“ROSS PEROT MIA/POW groups denounced McCain when he backed President Clinton’s efforts to normalize relations with Vietnam. When Ross Perot, who had financed the POW cause, joined the attack, McCain told a reporter that Perot is “nuttier than a fruitcake, and you can quote me.” When Perot phoned to complain, McCain called him “nutty” again.”

To show you what an ungrateful bastard McCain was, he attacked Perot forgetting the fact that Perot had helped pay for his first wife’s medical expenses after her crippling car accident in 1969.

I’m sure some of it comes from dumping the 1st wife too.
