Calling McCain an undisciplined spoiled brat as Tim Dickinson does here,while accurate and an important feature of his character and a matter of concern regarding his bid for the Presidency,misses the point.

They get in trouble, and anybody that gets the goods on them about that trouble has access to that power.
