I do recall one occasion when someone asked him a question he didn't like and his face turned red and he stalked back into the White House. I don't remember the questioner or the circumstances, but this was the real Bill Clinton that we know and love.

I recall that press conference. Clinton was livid. An account from The Washington Post:

Clinton had just introduced Ruth Bader Ginsburg as his Supreme Court nominee, and Hume told the president that his consideration of other candidates and withdrawal of another nominee "may have created an impression, perhaps unfair, of a certain zigzag quality in the decision-making process here. I wonder, sir, if you could kind of walk us through it and perhaps disabuse us of any notion we might have along those lines. Thank you."

Clinton glared at Hume. "How you could ask a question like that after the statement she just made is beyond me," the president said, and abruptly ended the news conference.
