RuMills isn't the only one who has suggested that he is clinically insane.
It is because of my background in psychology that I am troubled by much of
what I see with Clinton.

I too think he is evaluating his impact over the past 7 years, where he
will go from now, what he will do...It's a normal step in the process and I
think he is having difficulty with this process. Everyone has a bad day.
People lose their tempers. I don't put too much stock into driving golf
balls alone and being in a foul mood. All of us have "off" days. Most of
us (fortunately) don't have a press core documenting our every step.
The key to understanding Clinton (and I'm not claiming any expertise here)
is watching his behavioral patterns, where they change. A BIG clue is what
seems to anger him. I found one of the biggest insights into his
personality was the his "apology" to the country. There was no remorse
(Big clue) and he was angry that he had to do this (Another big clue).
