Dolores Alfond is my new hero. While having to contend with a very hostile John McCain during a senate hearing on POW/MIA affairs, she never loses her cool.
About this incident Alfond says, “I wouldn’t think that he should be president. He’s very hot tempered,”
said Dolores Alfond, chairperson for the National Alliance of Families
for the Return of America’s Missing Servicemen and Women.
Alfond, the sister of an Air Force Academy graduate missing in Vietnam
since 1967, recalls the rough treatment she received from McCain in
1992 during her appearance at a hearing of the Senate Select Committee
on POW-MIA Affairs. My favorite part is when he gets up and stomps off like a petulant child. You can watch the entire exchange here.
H/T: my beloved brother who sent me this video with a note that read, "Look what a tough woman she is!" Indeed.

Unfortunately, this is all too common behavior. I remember a hearing in which Bill Thomas called the Capitol Police on Charlie Rangel during a Ways and Means hearing in 2003. No, seriously, read about it here: http://www.wsws.org/articles/2003/jul2003/cong-j23.shtml

Doesn't seem bad at all. I thought he respectfully disagreed with a ridiculous assertion. The headlines don't make the story.

John McCain is just petty. (And he was actually born outside the United States.)
