He does seem to lose it at times....

Back in '92, he was running against Tom Harkin for the Dem nomination. Jesse Jackson basically told him to fork over more goodies, or he'd support Harkin.

Clintard went ballistic then and called Jesse several things that I feel describe the Reverand accurately, but are not the basic staples of polite conversation.

I live in the Washington, DC area and returned from a tour in Hawaii in May 1993. This was before FNC, the Internet - as it is today, and FreeRepublic. On the local news channel - must have been NBC 4 because that is what we watched prior to getting FNC - the local newsreader shows a clip of Clinton being shown something in Washington, DC w/Eleanor Holmes Norton, then Mayor of DC. Well, something went wrong or it was not set up right, whatever. What I do remember is Clinton - as President - taking aside some low-level staffer and basically verbally laying into this person. Cursing like a drunken sailor. The cameraman had it all on tape. I think it ran for that newscast and then down the memory hole. I would bet a dollar to a donut the tape does not even exist anymore.

Point is - as everyone here knows - this clown was a sociopath back then and has only gotten worst over the years, being coddled by the media.

That's close but not quite correct. Clinton was seated at a local television station seated and miked for a campaign interview. Before it formally commenced somebody off camera informed Clinton that Jesse had endorsed the opponent. The report was incorrect but Clinton then went on a rage similar to what was shown with Chris Wallace. I don't recall any obscenities but it was loud, angry, and utterly insulting and demeaning to Jesee. Mainly by being largely accurate.

The network, I believe ABC ran it one time on the weekend evening news. From that day to this the tape seems never to have run again though one would have expected it at least when Jesse began his "counseling " of Bill Clinton in '98.
