Reply #37: I've seen his behavior in others. [View All]

Bush is basically hostile, given to projecting his own sins onto other people (e.g., meeting Tom Daschle and telling him, "Never lie to me!") and trying to control them. Newsweek picked up on this when it did the cover story on Bush in the bubble -- i.e., that his "humor" is less calculated to draw laughter and more given to drawing attention to the butt of it. I find his little nicknames indicative less of a happy, sociable guy and more of a controlling, defensive type.
