This frightening exchange reveals how poorly McCain has actually "controlled" his temper. It shows a petty and juvenile streak that would be frightening in a president. It's too intellectual for an attack ad, but pass it around on college campuses.

My goodness, what a tongue lashing Senator McCain gave to Senator Obama. I thought the letter Senator Obama wrote to John McCain encouraged partinsanship and coming together to eliminate K street politics. I do not entirely understand the reply by John McCain, other than to try and drive a wedge between the two senators. How could anything Senator Obama stated be disingenuous, for John McCain it is the same old, same old.

For Obama supporters, the candidate's web site is is a good place to go for the source documents on this issue but it certainly does not qualify as journalism. From a legitimate news point of view, this is reminiscent of the recent YouTube video depicting an angry wife airing her husband's sins to a global audience with no hint of the other side of the story . Obviously Obama would not even post this correspondence if he felt that it reflected in a negative way on him. Obama presents a scenario in which McCain appears to be backing off of ethics reform and, in fact, insinuates that McCain does not have a burning desire for honesty in government. Glaringly absent from this depiction is McCain's input.

This story is not journalism at all; it's essentially a press release directly from a politician. It contains their side of the story only, with no balance, editing, context or anything else that would make it credible.
