she was on some committe or panel and said something (i cant remember what it was)

Baghdad while wearing a flak jacket, helmet, surrounded by soldiers, with snipers on nearby roofs and helicopters flying overhead.
She came down on him about how silly it was and his hypocrisy about the whole thing.. something like that.
He's never forgiven her for it.

The guy has needed to be in therapy his entire life, but especially since Vietnam.

BTW Romney frozen in that expression looks like he has been embalmed.

After Bush beat him in the 2000 primaries (using some dirty tricks I wouldn't blame McCain for being POd about) and later "won" the election, McCain did what he could to push back against legislation W wanted. He became a "maverick" who was willing to work with Democrats because he saw that as a way of getting even with Bush, not so much because he believed in bipartisanship.

And ever since Obama cleaned his clock in '08, he's been angry and eager to get even. He holds grudges forever. Now it's worse because he no longer has any chance of getting out of the Senate and being appointed to an important Cabinet position. So he'll do what he can to fuck that up for Susan Rice and try to embarrass Obama in the process. He's a bitter, vindictive old asshole.

was crushed by not only Obama, but the rove/cheney/bush cabal in 2000-- didn't they come out with some sort of nonsense regarding mcCain having a "secret black love child" somewhere?

McCain actually had momentum in that race; IMHO he was told by the cabal to "step aside and wait his turn". that didn't work out very well-- however, he has nobody but himself to blame for going along with the scam.

wasn't Mc Cain, Feingold a Clinton era reform? your observation about his vindictive personality is spot on.. I am hoping that Az. can dump him next time around.. demographics might seal that whole bunch of assholes fate..

to be an attempt at revenge. For example, a couple of years ago Steve Kornacki wrote:

he ended up on the right side of some issues out of spite... then had to run to the fight in 08.. serves him right..

thanks for the info while i was struggling making a living and didn't pay much attention

he is one of the 'entitled class' because he won the sperm lottery

After he lost to Senator Obama, McCain had to watch as President Obama pursued a successful and peaceful Presidency.

President Obama easily managed to end the war in Iraq after six years of hard Republican work turning that place into what was to be a permanently occupied (and permanently profitable to a select few) fortress.

He easily killed Osama bin Laden--apparently by following the money trail that the Bush Administration so assiduously obscured.

He forced Republicans to flense half a trillion dollars from the defense budget over ten years.

He snookered Congressional Republicans into voting against a middle class tax cut in an election year, and to agree to the expiration of tax cuts for the rich--which was the one thing Republicans were put in Washington to protect.

President Obama did all of that by masterfully manipulating Republicans in Congress, always holding the carrot of greed in front of their noses while carefully walking them into a new cage.

President Obama didn't just beat John McCain's ass, he beat his ass and then made McCain into a better and more effective Democratic Senator than he ever was as a Republican.

So all of us watching McCain's squirming this week should smile and recall that he's doing it while firmly planted atop his own petard. All he had to do to avoid virtually all of this was do an honest job as Senator. President Obama bet everything on the fact that Republicans couldn't act honestly, even for one week, and he won big for it.

That is what upsets John McCain.

Secretary of State...so now he's pissed...Obama "took" the Presidency away form him and now he's "taking" this job from him too.


Oh, yeah on edit: He's also a small enough man to be complaining that he can't believe he lost to a black man.

Once upon a time he was somewhat reasonable. Now he is just an angry bitter old fool. Time to hang up the hat, gramps.
