The Coil

Mccain Hangar

I’m convinced McCain believes he’s a moderate guy.  I don’t think he’s in touch at all with the way he fires himself up.

What really scares me is when he gets all coiled and hunched like that, taking on a self-righteous or vindictive tone.  When that side comes out, the stories he tells of a younger, brasher, indiscreet version of himself don’t feel, at all, partitioned by time.  Instead, in that vein of defiance he demonstrates himself quite capable of going off the rails.
