IMO, termperament demonstrates a quality of leadership. I'll take an even-tempered person who is open to criticism and/or listening to a diversity of views on an issue w/o taking it as a personal offense over a hothead anytime.
Unless you have some sort of "in" with the Senate, I'm still betting that what isn't shown on tv, shouldn't be.
I never said it was a positive trait, but it's not totally an exception either.
Just like the rhetoric we hear every day, what's put out for our eyes and ears regarding one's "decorum" or lack thereof, has been and always will be bent depending on who's doing the putting.
