Somewhere a village is missing their idiot... I'm sorry I meant psychopath... someone is missing their deranged psychopath.

George Bush"s mental health must be a consideration in the November elections
08/02/2004 19:20

Mr. Bush has been acting very erratic lately, and his profanity laced outbursts are becoming almost a daily occurrence, according to White House insiders.
When Bush was questioned about his relationship with Kenneth Lay, the scandal ridden ex-CEO of Enron, Bush stormed off the podium and screamed to his aides: "Keep those motherf***ers away from me," and then "If you can"t, I"ll find someone who can."

Other aides report "In meetings with top aides and administration officials, the President goes from quoting the Bible in one breath to obscene tantrums against the media, Democrats and others that he classifies as "enemies of the state."

In interviews with several White House staff, they paint a picture of an administration under siege has emerged, led by a man who declares his decisions to be "God's will" and then tells aides to "fuck over" anyone they consider to be an opponent of the administration.

When Bush was first running for president, he was very adamant about telling the public he was a born again Christian, but his behavior is quite the opposite. The first sign that something wasn"t quite right was when Bush said he enjoyed the Austin Powers movies series.  The Austin Power movies are heavily laced with sexual connotations, innuendos and overt sexual humor.  A born again Christian would find these movies abhorrent.

There is more reason to be concerned because Bush has a history of chemical dependency. Bush is an admitted alcoholic, and he never sought treatment. Then there are the stories about his cocaine use when he was younger.

George Washington University psychiatrist Dr. Justin Frank in his book Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President. Dr. Frank diagnosed the President as a "paranoid megalomaniac" and "untreated alcoholic" whose "lifelong streak of sadism, ranging from childhood pranks (using firecrackers to explode frogs) to insulting journalists, gloating over state executions and pumping his hand gleefully before the bombing of Baghdad" showcase Bush"s instabilities.

It is rumored that Bush is now being treated with anti-depressants, however, angry outbursts, stating they are doing God"s work, and systematic attacks on perceived enemies are not symptoms of clinical depression.  Bush is displaying symptoms of schizophrenia and paranoid delusions. 

Bush"s Doctor expressed concerns about prescribing anti-depressants to a person who has a history of alcohol addiction - this is a mystery because anti-depressants are not addicting and are frequently used to treat people with alcohol addictions.  This should eliminate the concern that Bush is in a depressive state. It could be Bush is being treated with narcotic based tranquilizers - which would validate the physicians concerns.  

Depression is characterized by withdrawal from society, sullen, sudden outbursts of crying, sadness, suicidal idealizations, and in severe cases, the person is immobilized to the point where even getting out of bed is a task too difficult to take on.  Bush is showing none of these symptoms.  A person with depression does not have angry outbursts or paranoid delusions.

We are also starting to hear that Aides who raise questions quickly find themselves shut out of access to the President or other top advisors. Among top officials, Bush's inner circle is shrinking. Secretary of State Colin Powell has fallen out of favor because of his growing doubts about the administration's war against Iraq.

But the President who says he rules at the behest of God can also tongue-lash those he perceives as disloyal, calling them "fucking assholes" in front of other staff, berating one cabinet official in front of others and labeling anyone who disagrees with him "unpatriotic" or "anti-American."

Attorney General John Ashcroft appears to be the only tefloned member of the shrinking Bush close inner circle. Ashcroft and Bush have close bonds with this "we are doing God"s will" mentality and delusion.  

Ashcroft is also under heavy fire for his approach and actions that threatens the very freedoms granted by the Constitution. 

One long-time GOP political consultant who - for obvious reasons - asked not to be identified said, "We have to face the very real possibility that the President of the United States is loony tunes," he says sadly. "That"s not good for my candidates, it"s not good for the party and it"s certainly not good for the country."

I am reminded of the last days of Hitler.  He too saw enemies everywhere, honestly believed he was doing God"s will, summarily expelled those who were critical of his decisions, and held close those who shared his psychosis.

Mr. Bush, it might be best for the country if you step down and not run for reelection.  You need to get a handle on what is going on inside you - the American people would support that decision and we"d be behind you if you stepped down.  If you win the election and stay in the White House, you"d be putting this country in even more peril.  When Nixon resigned, yes, we did breathe a sigh of relief, but if you noticed, he also won the hearts, and respect,  of America for doing the right thing.

This is a load of garbage. The president is known for using profanity on occasion in a "good old boy" kind of way, but is not known for profane outbursts. He is also quick on his feet at press conferences and has no problem with tough questions. Being a Republican and a conservative, that's pretty much all he gets. He doesn't have to answer press questions at all (like Clinton didn't for about six months during the height of his scandals). Why not have an honest debate instead of all this bilge? What policies does Kerry have to offer that are better? I watched the convention and heard few specifics.

Oh a load of garbage is it, well then I’d better pack my bags and be on my way. No, on second thought I have to shit all over your head (in a good old girl sort of way, so don’t be offended by my choice of wording.) Come on now, is there really a ‘good old boy’ way for the president of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA to use profanity in public-- and I argue that when the president decides to curse out the media (the same media he is trying to supress with his ‘patriot act’) who have every right (and god willing will keep that right) to question him, he is acting at best like a spoiled child and at worst a silly ass. The man is quaking in his boots and we both know it. Oh and I would love a few examples of when this man was quick on his feet and was simultaneously not dodging a question-- making stupid cowboy jokes is not ‘quick on your feet’ it is sad and it is wrong for this country. If as a republican and a conservative all he gets is tough questions, maybe he needs to look deep inside and ask him self why. Maybe all you republican, rightwing-ers need to do just that. Also, Bringing up Clinton is sad and funny and really, really old, all at the same time. Other than his ‘sexual relations’ episode of fear factor, what kind of president was he... oh and please note: Bush is running against Kerry, not Clinton, so get over him already it has been almost 4 years. I would love to see a debate, seeing good ol boy Georgie thinking for himself, it would be hilarious. (I’m sure we all remember how he wouldnt debate Gore without knowing the questions in advance first.) You want specifics? So do I, why war on Iraq? Where is Osama? Can you say ‘Future Lame Duck of Amirika’.

My comment about "good old boy" profanity was not sufficiently clear. What I meant was, he might curse in private with close friends, but never in public. In fact, the only mainstream press report of Bush profanity was a private conversation inadvertantly picked up by a mike in which the President told Cheney that he thought that a reporter was a major league asshole, to which Cheney replied "Yes, big time." This was during the first campaign. You and I both know that any instances like what you described would be all over the press, as has Cheney's recent use of the f-word to Senator Leahy. I have a feeling that this story of screaming at reporters is an urban legend.

As for calling your opinion "garbage", that was probably a bit harsh and I apologize.

We will probably never agree on the quick on your feet thing, as we could probably sit together and watch the same press conference and come away with totally different impressions. As for my Clinton comment, I wasn't talking about the scandals or their merit, just the fact that Clinton didn't talk to reporters for a long time. Believe me, I know he's not running this time and don't dedicate much thought to him.

I do have a question about the patriot act. Can you list five specific instances of it being abused (meaning a specific person or group)? My understanding is that there hasn't been a single offical complaint, even from the ACLU.
