Wow. The guys from Time must have interviewed Senator McCranky before his nap.
I think that former prisoner of war John McCain has always been a handgrenade ready to go off. It looks like the strain of the campaign has pulled his pin and when the handle flies off (and he flies off the handle), it's going to be pretty ugly for his side. McShrapnel everywhere.
If I were one of his handlers I'd be very concerned. If I were Cindy McCain, I'd keep my distance...

Jeebus. What a pissed off brat. I think churlishness is a symptom of dementia, isn’t it senator? Senator?
The Tantruminator!
‘Wow’ is right! Future interviewers apparently can now consider themselves on notice that they better take a spin down the Kevlar apparel aisle before a sit-down with the ol’ Maverick. Hazard pay may be appropriate, too.
Read my books. READ my BOOKS. I TOLD YOU YOUNGUN’S TO READ
MY $*&^%$@#$ BOOKS, YOU STUPID MOTHER %$#@$$@*’S. MAKE ME PRESIDENT YOU
C$^’s!
He’s faking it. He wants low-information voters (i.e., people who’ve been in a coma since early 2000) to think the “liberal media” hates him so he can go to the heartland and say what every Republican presidential candidate since Nixon has said: “The liberals hate me! The liberals hate you! I’m just like you! Vote for me!”
If only Katie Couric could get him this pissy. The impact woudl be greater on TV.
He’s just doing what his Rove-puppet Schmidt is telling him to do–As SteveM notes supra, he’s putting it on to show how he doesn’t toe the line for the evil liberal media (Time Magazine?) You can also see this in the way he has been parroting the “no-home-no-kitchen-table-I’m-a hero” line over the past week.
I wonder if there is a decent man inside the current incarnation of McCain that is shamed by all of this ridiculous bullshit he spouts.
At last the curtain is being pulled back and the press are seeing and, more importantly, reporting the real McCain. An angry, bitter, mean, little man, who is unfit for any position of authority.
MNGus - I am not fond of Couric, but I don’t think I would like to see her get hit.
One wonders what McPOW will do once the campaign gets into the 24/7 20 hours a day mode? We might get a peek at some real ugly demons in that calcified skull.
Please? Just one little on-camera blowup?
Just give me that and I’ll never ask for anything ever again.
Oh, it’s coming. Unless his handlers have him on a Zanax drip, the guy will go postal by October.
That’s my thought as well. He’s heavily medicated.
Part of me thinks that this is all a plot to wage a seemingly-intense campaign to elect the Repugnican candidate while doing their best to prevent that, thereby letting the Democrat take the heat for what promises to be several years, at least, of hurt.
Another part of me thinks this is paranoid, but has no evidence to disprove that theory…
After that bizarre interview (he sounded like a robot at the beginning, till he got real pissy) and that picture of his ugly, mean puss, you now owe us some cute Bassett anecdote and a couple of nice pix of the boys.
You owe us. Understand?
Somebody didn’t get their Metamucil….
Time.Com (Dialog markers added):
John McCain: The Stepford Candidate?
.
You have to listen to the tape to truly understand how robotic he sounds. Jay Carney is clearly uncomfortable when he asks “Do I know you?” McCain spends more time talking about did you read my book than articulating what honor means to him and I found that amazing. The whole thing is frightening.
Oh yeah, Amurka wants this drugged-out, senile jackass with his finger on the nuclear button.
Btw, where did that picture come from? Was that a true meltdown, or was he clowning? Geebus.
Honor.
Honor sets him off.
Because he’s got none, and he thinks we know.
**jangles keys**
Mr. TBogg, it would do my heart much good if you would start employing these POW pictures in your McCain posts.
Or more likely, since a lot of men that age aren’t too big on psychiatric medicine, he should be.
Maybe somebody got too much Metamucil. He ate so much fiber he’s got rope burn out his ass.
You can’t imagine how comforted I am to learn that he won’t finalize his VP choice until he confers with that sage expert on American politics…
Cindy McCain.
“We don’t discuss our sons”?????? WTF????
He knows he’s gonna lose and he’s pissed.
Yeah, I realize he meant “we” as in “Cindy and I”, but since it was just him sitting there it sure sounded like a royal “we”, didn’t it?
Also, to DrDick: Although I can’t speak for MNGus, I think maybe “impact” was meant in the sense of “the impact on the public would be greater if he got all pissy on TV rather than in print.”
You just know that Carney went home and cried his little eyes out. He’s rubbed his lips raw on Sen. McMarley’s ass over the years and this is what he gets for it?
