I watched it a little while ago. Clinton lost it! He was really angry about the Somalia charge, and said right wingers were yelling for him to leave.

That is partially right. Everyone was screaming for him to leave, because he didn't have any idea what he was doing. I did a short search of some background stuff on it.
