Senator's Surprising Soft Side

I highly recommend this fascinating look at John McCain's other side. The tough, temperamental war hero/senator can demonstrate "extraordinary kindness". Why doesn't this get more attention? Well, in part, it's because he doesn't seem to want it to.

J-Mac's prisoner-of-war heroism was great, but that was a long time ago. So was his ditching of his first wife. I'm more concerned with how someone lives now. McCain's temper isn't that big of a deal--Harry Truman supposedly was a hothead. And as far as I've seen, McCain keeps his anger in check while in public (unlike the spouses of the Democrat candidates for President). If McCain has as much compassion, as much capacity to forgive as the Bloomberg article illustrates, he seems that much more like presidential timber to me.
