Yeah, Palpatine's actually coolheaded overall. He didn't fly into a rage and destroy everything around him when Amidala unexpectedly thwarted the event, or even when Nute Gunray failed to stop her from fleeing the system. If he actually were hotheaded and prone to anger... Well, let's just say that his immediate reaction to Luke refusing to join him would have been a LOT closer to, say, how Voldemort acted to the Gringotts staff when learning his horcrux was destroyed (basically slaughter everyone in the area in unbridled fury, even those who were merely bystanders, maybe also destroy some equipment, if not end up detonating the Emperor's Tower while still in it.). Kylo Ren came far closer to actually being angry and hotheaded than Palpatine did especially with his constant tantrums.
