Temper, temper

Listen to Dave Ross Commentary: Temper, temper

It’s a national scandal:

“People who witnessed the Arizona showdown won’t soon forget Governor Jan Brewer pointing her finger at a stern looking President Obama,” said one report.

Brewer explained to Fox’s Greta van Susteren that the president had lipped off to her about the way she described their last White House meeting in her Book “Scorpions for Breakfast” — where she characterized him as lecturing her about Arizona’s immigration law:

“I don’t know why he was surprised, but he evidently is and he’s very thinned skin,” said Brewer.

And then — listen to that! — she criticizes the president for the thinness of his skin! Can’t we agree not to judge a man by the thinness of his skin, but the content of character?

By the way, I checked. And Jan Brewer has a history of public confrontation — in fact, it happened to Greta van Susteren herself at the Arizona State Fair:

Greta van Susteren: Governor, nice to see you, love your state fair.

Brewer: I would be real remiss if I didn’t offer you one of our very best little treats here. I want to give you a little scorpion there so you can indulge.

van Susteren: What do you do with a scorpion.

Brewer: You eat it! We eat scorpions for breakfast.

It sure is. Scorpions for Breakfast.

Jan Brewer had better watch her step.

Because as this campaign intensifies, it’s clear that Barack Obama is a restless volcano of anger just waiting to pop.

You be careful governor, or next time he might just sing you upside the head.
