Bob Corker and the McCain Effect:

“It’s not an urban myth. It’s just a fact.” That’s how Bob Corker describes the volcanic temper of U.S. Senate colleague John McCain — a fact of life that Corker says he had to deal with “very early on” in his own Senate career. So far Tennessee’s junior senator has held on to his own mild-mannered ways, but an appearance in Memphis this week revealed some other traits and beliefs Corker has come to share with the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
