I thought he liked women? (see here, here, and here). The headline is a bit inflammatory, I'll admit, and there's no way to substantiate these charges, but this is by far my favorite account of McCain's temper that I have ever read. It reads like a "Curb Your Enthusiasm" episode. According to the Huffington Post, McClatchy Newspapers published this account of a McCain explosion in 1996:
Six people present have written statements describing what they saw. According to the accounts, McCain waved his hand to shoo away Jeannette Jenkins, whose cousin was last seen in South Vietnam in 1970, causing her to hit a wall.As McCain continued walking, Jane Duke Gaylor, the mother of another missing serviceman, approached the senator. Gaylor, in a wheelchair equipped with portable oxygen, stretched her arms toward McCain.
"McCain stopped, glared at her, raised his left arm ready to strike her, composed himself and pushed the wheelchair away from him," according to Eleanor Apodaca, the sister of an Air Force captain missing since 1967.
McCain's staff wouldn't respond to requests for comment about specific incidents.
This is great stuff. I can't wait to read about how McCain accidentally killed a girlfriend once when she licked the envelopes of the cheap wedding invitations he had bought her.
