I've never been an astronaut, but I think I know the challenges of space.

Oh man that just cracked me up.

In the closing days of 1992, President George H.W. Bush, ordinarily among the most decent, genteel fellows you'd ever meet, was running around calling Bill Clinton and Al Gore "bozos." He simply couldn't believe that he, a war hero, seasoned public servant, and recent winner of the Gulf War, was losing to a draft dodging, dope smoking hick from Arkansas.

It appears that John McCain has reached that point.

Of course, I always found the descriptions of Bill Clinton (made by the very same people) as "red faced and out of control" to be, when one saw the tape, pure BS too.

Does McCain look a bit irritated with questions he doesn't like and make it obvious he thinks the implications and accusations contained within those questions false? That is, does he disagree with the interviewer(s)? Is he terse at times and do his smiles look less than sincere? Yes. But candidates have a perfect right to disagree with and even dislike questions put to them by reporters. And to, within the bounds of polite conduct, show it. Good public behavior often may demand polite smiles, but there is no requirement that they be sincere.

This is faux outrage that insists that this candidate (but of course not my candidate) is obligated to respond to every question and conduct himself in general as if he is a Miss America contestant. Show some teeth, sweetie! Oh my, he didn't simper enough! As if this every four year exercise is just about charming the media judges and being pronounced the most pretty one.
