John McCain: I Have Anger Issues
Sen. John McCain admitted Tuesday morning that he has anger management issues, confessing that it's a problem he's had to work on for many years. "I constantly, throughout my career, have had to work on getting angry and frustrated and losing my temper," McCain told Fox News Channel's Brian Kilmeade, who was filling in on Tony Snow's radio show. "I'm happy to say that I've managed almost always not succumb to that problem," the top 2008 presidential contender explained. But McCain said his temper was particularly raw after he lost the GOP presidential nomination to President Bush five years ago.

"At first I was angry and thought I'd been unfairly treated and all that kind of stuff. I was feeling sorry for myself. You know, it's a lot of fun to feel sorry for yourself." "But after a couple weeks," said McCain, "I worked very hard not to look back in anger and not to hold a grudge." "By the way, Americans don't like sore losers anyway," he reminded. Trying to recall other instances where his temper had flared, McCain said: "There's many others that - I'm sure my children could tell you [about] a large number of them better than I can. So you just keep working and you keep trying to emulate people you admire." "I still have many failings," the Arizona maverick concluded.
