John McCain's Wife Not Saved From His Temper

Many people know that McCain has a history of being crabby. His temper isn't often heard on the campaign trail these days but here and there it can come out. Rest assured, his handlers must do a lot of work to keep it hammered down in the basement, but sometimes you just can't hide some pretty atrocious stuff. Now you never know what goes on between a husband and wife, but some behavior can be looked at and one might wonder, do we want a guy like that with his finger on the nuclear trigger?

From RawStory:

The Real McCain by Cliff Schecter, which will arrive in bookstores next month, reports an angry exchange between McCain and his wife that happened in full view of aides and reporters during a 1992 campaign stop. An advance copy of the book was obtained by RAW STORY.

Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain�s intemperateness. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain�s hair and said, �You�re getting a little thin up there.� McCain�s face reddened, and he responded, �At least I don�t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt.� McCain�s excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.

The man who was known as "McNasty" in high school has erupted in foul-languaged tirades at political foes and congressional colleagues more-or-less throughout his career, and his quickness to anger has been an issue on the presidential campaign trail as evidence of his fury has surfaced.

Schecter goes on to explain that in 1992, reporters had no idea how to cover such an incident, so they simply didn't. Nowadays in the 24 hour news cycle things are much different and something like this would have been all over YouTube. Yet this got buried many years ago, except for the anonymous accounts by several who were there. His temper is well known, but now......we are learning to what extent that fire can reach.
