Pardon me, but if that’s an example of someone “losing their cool” then I must live in another culture. He seemed a bit irritated and what one would call “testy” but it’s nothing close to losing one’s cool or as the young reporter asked of him “why are you so angry?”
Just another case of the media and the American journalism industry (along with the thousands of bloggers) making a story where there is no story.

Is Sen. Clinton hedging her bets?
It is interesting to note that today Sen. McCain got testy over questions regarding a conversation he had with Sen. Kerry as a potential bi-partisan running mate in the 2004 elections, at a time when Sen. Clinton has been lauding praise on Sen. McCain while disparaging Sen. Obama and his experience, stating in effect: that either Sen. McCain and Sen. Clinton are prepared to lead the country while Sen. Obama is not. This is interesting because it raises the possibility that Sen’s. McCain and Clinton have had a similar conversation. After all, Fmr. President Clinton was quoted earlier in the primary season as saying if the general election were between his wife and Sen. McCain it would invariably be “…fought with kid gloves.” In looking at both Sen. McCain’s record, and Sen. Clinton’s, and their close relationship, a so-called dream ticket is not Obama-Clinton, but rather, McCain-Clinton. Does anyone really believe that if Sen. Clinton loses her fight for the Democratic nomination that she would not feel betrayed by her party – regardless of the popular vote, delegate count and majority of states won by Sen. Obama? Does anyone believe that the enmity with which she has run this primary campaign and the open distain she has for Sen. Obama would stop her from running on a bipartisan ticket with Sen. McCain in an effort to finally vanquish Sen. Obama in a general election? Consider this, Sen. McCain is at best a moderate and rogue within the Republican Party, and with Sen. Clinton’s supporters he has a far better chance of winning than without her supporters. Besides, as a renegade McCain would force Republicans to either sit out the election or vote for him…they’re certainly not likely to vote for Sen. Obama and it could make for an interesting contest in November. After all, it has been widely acknowledged that Sen. Clinton will do anything to win the nomination…concerns that in recent days have the Democratic Party worried.
I wonder if Sen. Obama’s “premature” comment regarding a joint ticket with Sen. Clinton has further led to these recent, vitriolic attacks. Personally, I don’t see Sen. Clinton remaining loyal to the Democratic Party should she feel she’s got a chance to continue the fight with McCain.

Senator McCain is probably tired of the NY Times rpeated attempts to diminish his credibility; he may have been short with Ms. Bumiller, but he was to-the-point, which she wasn’t willing to initally accept; then she became flustered. ABC News can spin it anyway they want…this won’tb a discussion point on the [good] Sunday talk shows.

PTSD? Questions incite Mr. McCain to anger…short fuse, maybe his combat experiece isn’t such a plus when it comes to handling the press.

At least three of the respondents got it right, and this time you got it completely wrong Jake, the only one that lost credibility in that exchange was the incompetent reporter and unfortunately for you guys the press in general once again.
The press may just end up being the biggest losers in this campaign yet.
I remember reading a report years ago that if Richard Nixon walked on water the USA press the next day would have headlines saying “Nixon cant swim!
Is this beat up a preview of the bias the world can expect from the USA press once the Democrats finally get themselves sorted out?
Cant run a primary and you guys are asking us to believe they can run the world! All candidates should be under a lot more scrutiny than they currently are.
