McCain's history of hot temper raises concerns

McClatchy reports McCain's history of hot temper raises concerns

"McCain called [John Cornyn (R-TX)]'s claim 'chicken-s---,' according to people familiar with the meeting, and charged that the Texan was looking for an excuse to scuttle the bill. Cornyn grimly told McCain he had a lot of nerve to suddenly show up and inject himself into the sensitive negotiations. 'F--- you,' McCain told Cornyn, in front of about 40 witnesses.

There's a lengthy list of similar outbursts through the years: McCain pushing a woman in a wheelchair, trying to get an Arizona Republican aide fired from three different jobs, berating a young GOP activist on the night of his own 1986 Senate election and many more."
