Sorry, but if this is your version of really pissed, I’d hate to see your version of calm and matter of fact – it would probably look more like comatose. He hardly even shows any energy here let alone getting pissed off or nasty.
Yeah. I watched this over at TPM and didn’t see an out-of-control anger attack either. I get that he’s grinding his back teeth and squinting his eyes. It’s not Jack Nicholson in “The Shining” or “A Few Good Men” even. I’m sure you had to be there to feel the tension in the room.
This often happens to me with video links. For example, this morning I watched a link which supposedly showed what a great debater Sarah Palin was when she was running for gov. of Alaska. Dang! The reflection in her glasses could not hide the fact that she was constantly glancing down AT HER NOTES! She was simply READING her prepared responses. That is NOT my definition of a great debater. After the preliminary position statement, a debater should know enough to shoot from the hip, not shuffle index cards.
Have you seen the Des Moines Register videos of McCain’s interview? Jesus, he really gets pissed when they call him on his lies.
Here is a compilation of some of the greatest hits, but you should really go watch the videos in full:
yeah, I just looked at it. I think I know who the Des Moines Register will be endorsing, and it ain’t more of McSame.

there are definitely worse incidents of McCain’s legendary temper out there, but as long as the media runs with it, no complaints here!
Notice how he kept cutting the interviewer off? He really is a nasty human being plus I don’t think he respects women at all. What a creep!
He doesn’t respect women? Ya think? What was the first clue? When he called his own wife a c*** – in PUBLIC?!
Frankly, I think the biggest clue is his pick for VP.
