he's a hothead sure.... no big deal there... most presidents have been foul mouthed and fiery.
The ability to rattle him easily is what worries me. I'd like a president with the mental skills and cool head to pwn the shit out of a reporter with the audacity to pick at an old wound like that just for politics' sake. The question was out of bounds, brought up merely to remind us of Mccain's flirting with kerry in 04. Mccain should have called out the reporter, maybe ask him who he has in the 1998 World Series, then waved for the cameras as that reporter was left at the next bus stop they drove by.
That's what Arnold would have done.
