He once nearly came to blows with a staff member after reportedly informing him that "some son of a bitch on the staff has been saying bad stuff about my staff in the press, and I'm tired of it." Livingston's temper surfaced notoriously in a floor speech during the 1995 budget battle. "We will stay here until doomsday," he bellowed, arms flailing.
