Why do we keep hearing stories about John McCain's temper unless there's at least a modicum of truth to them?

A Republican colleague has told a story about John McCain grabbing a Nicaraguan politico by the shirt collar and jerking him up from his seat....back in the '80's.

McCain, of course, denies this.

I don't know if this story is relevant except that it was told by a Republican who saw it first hand.

Grinding of axes may be involved, but the story seems congruent with other anecdotes about the Senator's temper.

A temper isn't always a bad thing, but it does highlight the crotchety old fart image McCain tries to dispel.
