The Terrible-Tempered Mr. Bang of Indecision 2008?

(as posted by iludiumphosdex @ 22:52 UTC on 7.3.08)

THOSE READERS OF A CERTAIN AGE MAY RECALL A COMIC STRIP CALLED "TOONERVILLE FOLKS," which had among its staple of characters The Terrible-Tempered Mr. Bang among the denizens of that particular comminity serviced by "The Toonerville Trolley That Meets All the Trains," key element to the long-running feature.

Judging by what's going down in the blogosphere, Republican Presidential wannabe John McCain could best be considered Indecision 2008's version of The Terrible-Tempered Mr. Bang.

Witness the following video of the exchange in question (thanks to YouTube, ultimately via The Carpetbagger Report):

And if you'd like to follow along, here's a transcript of that infamous exchange (again, hat tip to The Carpetbagger Report):

Elisabeth Bumiller of The New York Times: Senator, can I ask you about Senator Kerry. I just went back and looked at our story, the Times story, and you told Sheryl Stolberg that you had never had a conversation with Kerry about being about vice president…

McCain: Everybody knows that I had a private conversation. Everybody knows that. That I had a conversation. There's no living American in Washington—that knows that, there's no one.

Bumiller: Okay.

McCain: And you know it, too. You know it. So, I don't even know why you ask.

Bumiller: Well, I ask because I just read…

McCain: You do know it. You do know it.

Bumiller: Because I just read in the Times in May of '04 you said….

McCain: I don't know what you may have read or heard of, I don't know the circumstances. Maybe in May of '04 I hadn't had the conversation…

Bumiller: But do you recall the conversation?

McCain: I don't know, but it's well known that I had the conversation. It is absolutely well known by everyone. So do you have a question on another issue?

Bumiller: Well can I ask you when the conversation was?

McCain: No. nope, because the issue is closed as far as I'm concerned. Everybody knows it. Everybody knows it in America.

Bumiller: Can you describe the conversation?

McCain: No, of course not. I don't describe private conversations.

Bumiller: Okay. Can I ask you…

McCain: Why should I? Then there's no such thing as a private conversation. Is there (inaudible) if you have a private conversation with someone, and then they come and tell you. I don't know that that's a private conversation. I think that's a public conversation.

Bumiller: Okay. Can I ask you about your (pause) Why you're so angry?

McCain: Pardon me?

Bumiller: Never mind, never mind.

McCain: I mean, it's well known. Everybody knows. It's been well chronicled a thousand times. John Kerry asked if I would consider being his running mate.

Bumiller: Okay.

McCain: And I said categorically no, under no circumstances. That's very well known.

No doubt guaranteed to generate plenty of "Macaca moments" as will no doubt wind up haste posthaste on YouTube ... and, in their turn, sure to undermine McCain's campaign for all it's worth.

AND ANOTHER THING, HOWBEIT UNRELATED: With His Fraudulency finally acknowledging that the economic situation is in a serious state of decline, what exactly prevents his acknowledging that it was his mad rush to ur-RAHOWA Against International Terrorism and his hard-wired belief that tax cuts=jobs=socioeconomic stability (already well discredited) that have aggravated same all the more?
