Presidential Demeanor

I don't know if it bothers you, but it bothers me when the President of the United States or other offical in high political office partakes in behavior that is unbecoming of such a position. If I'd wanted a foul mouthed trucker or ranting street person to be elected, I would have voted for him.
Joining Darth Cheney in his rant against Senator Patrick Leahy when he told the Senator to go fuck himself on the Seante floor, presidential candidate Senator John McCain said "Fuck you" to Republican Texas Senator John Cornyn. Apparently this was in response to Cornyn accusing McCain of being too busy with his campaign to work on immigration legislation.

McCain's political handlers have plenty of experience in explaining McCain's salty language and strident attacks. His temper has ranged far and wide, directed at other members of the Senate, congressional staffers, government agency chiefs, corporate chieftains, high-ranking military officers and even teenage campaign volunteers.

Good job, Maverick. Presidential material indeed.

Here's the more detailed Washington Post article.
