A self-described Republican asked McCain about his well-documented temper, prompting the AZ senator to quip: “How dare you ask that question? Get that microphone away from him.” But McCain said more seriously that he’s often angry about governmental failures. “I will confess to you, my friend, that I get angry,” McCain began. “I get angry when I saw a guy named Abramoff that ripped off Native Americans for millions and millions and millions of dollars, and people ended up – including him – in federal prison. I get angry when I see 233 million of your tax dollars going to an island, to a bridge to an island with 50 people on it. And that’s your dollars. “I get angry when I see corruption to the point where we have former members of Congress residing in federal prison, and you know something? The American people are angry, too, and they’re not going to take it anymore, and that’s why they want change. And they’re mad, and they’ve lost their temper.”
