Clinton loses his cool (newsmax)

[Liberty Ship]

Wasn't there an incident where a reporter asked Clinton a simple question, and Clinton became unglued and almost hit the guy?

Clinton actually physically attacked Dick Morris:

Morris wrote the letter to challenge Mrs. Clinton's contention in her book "Living History" that he was reluctant to assist the Clintons in the congressional election of 1994 because of difficulties working with their staff.

The real reason for his reluctance, Morris says, is "that Bill Clinton had tried to beat me up in May of 1990 as he, you, [campaign staffer] Gloria Cabe, and I were together in the Arkansas governor's mansion."

Morris tells Mrs. Clinton, "At the time, Bill was worried that he was falling behind his Democratic primary opponent and verbally assaulted me for not giving his campaign the time he felt it deserved. Offended by his harsh tone, I turned and stalked out of the room."

That's when the governor tackled him from behind and prepared to punch him, Morris says.

"You grabbed his arm," he writes to Mrs. Clinton, "and, yelling at him to stop and get control of himself, pulled him off me. Then you walked me around the grounds of the mansion in the minutes after, with your arm around me, saying, 'He only does that to people he loves.'"

In the Jennings interview, Clinton showed an edge of violence that he normally conceals behind a public mack of good ole' boy congeneality. Kind of like Andy Griffin in "A Face in the Crowd." I think that it takes a great deal of energy for Clinton to front the public image and repress the real Clinton. My guess is that the recent heart surgery left him with a lower energy level and that he did not have what it takes to shine Jennings on, which would have been his pre-operation response.
