‘Senator Hothead’ Works to Bury Hatchet With Colleagues
Will this be a problem for McCain?
FOX-Temper, temper.
Republican John McCain is known for his.
He’s been dubbed “Senator Hothead” by more than one publication, but he’s also had some success extracting his hatchet from several foreheads.
Even his Republican Senate colleagues are not spared his sharp tongue.
“F— you,” he shouted at Texas Sen. John Cornyn last year.
“Only an a—— would put together a budget like this,” he told the former Budget Committee chairman, Sen. Pete Domenici, in 1999.
“I’m calling you a f—— jerk!” he once retorted to Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley.
With Cornyn, he smoothed things over quickly. The two argued during a meeting on immigration legislation; Cornyn complained that McCain seemed to parachute in during the final stages of negotiations. “F— you. I know more about this than anyone else in the room,” McCain reportedly shouted.

OK, I’ll admit it: Sen. McCain isn’t all wrong.
I bet he is f’n pissed about the f’n NY Times story describing his f’n hypocrisy when it comes to f’n favors from f’n lobbyist who reside on f’n K Street!
