John McCain’s “tight smile” greeting for Barack Obama on the Senate floor Wednesday, his harsh demeanor toward Obama at the debate and attitude with the Des Moines Register all show he lacks control of his emotions, writes Josh Marshall. Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) told CBS’s Katie Couric that she believes in a constitutional right to privacy, which shows that the GOP vice presidential nominee has probably never heard that the right is the legal underpinning for the Roe v. Wade ruling, writes Marshall.
