It's happened to the best of them. Anyone remember Clinton's diatribe caught on tape as he swore and cursed an aide? Just like this it meant nothing. If there was a long term pattern of this stuff I might be tempted to say there's a problem but once in a while people lose their cool. He wasn't making an official statement (where I would agree that it's wholly inappropriate) but he was having a private conversation (albeit with an audience).
No one can say what caused him to lose it so assuming "the pressure" is getting to him is a bit of a reach IMO.

And how long did Limbaugh bash Clinton for that?
It's not the being human that bothers me. It's the double standard that the GOP and the Religious Right and so on throw tizzies and complain and make big deals out of these things when Dems do it, but totally ignore and make up reasons for it being ok for a GOP to do the exact same thing. Or hound the Dems when they turn the tables, saying what cheapshot artists we are.
