Everywhere I look these days. What could soothe his nerves?
The Nation:
When Guy Saperstein, a retired lawyer from Oakland, asked Clinton if Democrats who supported the war should apologize, the former President "went f------ ballistic," according to Saperstein. Forget Hillary, Clinton said angrily during a ten-minute rant; if I was in Congress I would've voted for the war. "It was an extraordinary display of anger and imperiousness," Saperstein says.
The New Yorker:
Clinton and his entourage all had to ride in "one white van." Outside the weather was "hot and steamy." The van was cramped and stuffy and the windows were all closed... Then, "unaccountably," Clinton absently reached up and, with a flick, shut off the air-conditioning. Very soon the air inside the van was stale and overheated. [Clinton aide Eric] Nonacs didn't realize who had shut off the air and said, "Hey, isn't there any air in here? What's the air-conditioning situ--" He was in mid-syllable when [Clintonite Ira] Magaziner and [former Clinton chief of staff John] Podesta turned to him, their eyes wide. Nonacs, thankfully, was quick to understand. We rode another half hour until finally someone intuited that Clinton's mood had passed and a brave soul turned on the A.C.
