Arlen Specter's New Book...and Hypertension?

Jonathon M. Seidl throws kerosene on the flames of Arlen Specter's indignation, reporting the former senator's show of anger when an interviewer didn't discuss his book:

Although I don't think Specter properly appreciates the Tea Party, I have enough residual respect for the former Senator, left over from the Clinton Administration, to mention that his new book is called Life among the Cannibals and is about the dangers of political extremism. (Specter was known for being so independent and non-partisan that he changed party affiliations, and so on Amazon the "customer reviews" bash his books from both sides.)

But it's always a bit alarming when older men go into a "meltdown," or even a rant. Hypertension is so common and so deadly...
