Bumiller got off lightly. Others have been told, to their faces, that they are "shitheads", "fucking jerks" and "assholes". And they were Republicans. Cliff Schecter, a political blogger and erstwhile McCain admirer, relates in his book The Real McCain an incident from 1992 that he sourced from three journalists from the senator's home state of Arizona. McCain's wife Cindy was playfully twiddling with his hair one day.
"You're getting a little thin up there," she said.
McCain grew red in the face and replied: "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt."
Yeah, I have heard this sort of thing even from his supporters.
They were saying that if you disagree with anything he says or thinks, he wont ever accept that there might be two viewpoints, or possibly rethink he own position.
He will lock even harder to his position, become even more dogmatic about things, and personally take offense with the anyone putting forward the other position.
And he is a very very angry man.
