Jordanian prince requests Bush brain viewing
Saturday, October 2, 2004

A prominent member of Jordan's ruling royal family has used a trip to France to take issue with the official US attitude to his country and to question US President George W Bush's mental capacities.

"We need respect, intellectual tolerance, Mr President of the United States, of a meeting of minds... and if you actually have one, I'd like to see it," Prince Hassan bin Talal said.

The prince, an uncle to Jordan's King Abdullah II and an active member of intercultural committees, spoke at an international geography festival in eastern France.

...

Prince Hassan accuses the Bush administration of "wanting to treat us like they own us".

2. It's about time someone said it as emphactically as this Prince did.

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. This is embarassing

If this man doesn't get defeated, how can we hold our heads up as Americans? I shudder to think where we will be 4 years from now with another Bush term.

[0007]

8. Nothing about embarrassing about the truth. Kerry called junior

a liar just the other day.

[clydefrand]

14. I'm getting me a huge sign that says

I didn't vote for Brainless Bush!

Tell it like it is! We aren't all in favor of the asshole; therefore, we aren't all stupid!

[JoFerret]

5. In France...therefore does not count.

[MatrixEscape]

11. Bump that quote!

"We need respect, intellectual tolerance, Mr President of the United States, of a meeting of minds... and if you actually have one, I'd like to see it,"

I love to see International support for the obvious.

If he just had no clothes, it would be merely embarrassing.

13. This is a serious issue.

George Bush Medical Bombshell: Brain Damage Drama
by CONSPIRACY PLANET

Reports by a White House insider, published on TBRNews.org reveal that George W. Bush is suffering from unspecified medical problems, characterized by "seizures" or "ministrokes," possibly due to so-called cocaine stroke.

A former cocaine addict, Bush has exhibited increasingly bizarre behavior in recent years, indicative of brain damage (See: http://www.drugabuse.gov/NIDA_Notes/NNVol13N3/Cocaine.html)

Bush's mental impairment is held in check by his handler Karl Rove and Dick Cheney has become the defacto president of the United States, according to the insider's report.

Bush's performance at his latest press conference was questioned due to his anomie, characteristic of his being under heavy medication.

Also Bush's unexplained "pretzel" dive and the resulting bruise on his face several years ago are indicative of brain damage.

Medical experts suggest that mental impairment may also be a sign of HIV infection, measurable even from the earliest stages of the disease. Usually referred to as 'AIDS Dementia' it is recognized as fogetfulness and confusion.

*Bush has refused a physical until after the election. I believe he has some sort of brain malfunction.

[despairing optimist]

22. Falls off Segways and mountain bikes too . . .

The country(and the world) takes a licking and he keeps ticking.

I wonder why they consented to any debates if this is the case. Why take the risk of outing a sick president while 62 million watch?

The guys propping him up must be even more desperate than I thought. They must be sicker than he is.

[JPace]

30. I remember seeing a newspaper picture of AWOL

dropping his dog onto concrete. He almost pulled
his daughters dress off when dancing with her...
he lacks coordination which can be a sign of
brain damage.

27. what do you mean "bush has refused a physical until after the election"?

where did you read that?

bascially, HE IS REFUSING A PHYSICAL AGAIN? THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF?

[kayell]

28. Here's the link - it's buried in a CNN transcript, and no one is following

the story up. Our "liberal" media at work.

http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0409/29/lol.02.html

lots of snip

n an exclusive CNN/Gallup poll, 96 percent say the health of the president is important or very important to his ability to be a good president. Americans also think the president should have an annual physical examination. Eighty-four percent say this is a good idea. And 79 percent say the president should undergo an annual mental exam for conditions such as depression or Alzheimer's. But there is no requirement.

A White House spokesman says President Bush remains in great shape. But his busy schedule and the presidential campaign means his annual physical, usually conducted in August, will have to wait until after the election.

more but not much else except on presidential health in general

[despairing optimist]

32. Such big majorities, and yet when asked about presidential privacy rights,

61 percent of those asked agreed that he should be able to keep his medical records private--even though he's the most powerful man on the planet and his health can affect the fates of billions of people. Another disconnect, like the one in which voters state over and over that B* is doing badly in Iraq and yet they feel "more secure" or that he's doing a better job in the war on terror.

When did the world turn upside down?

[Iceburg]

20. Too funny minstrel!!!

[tanyev]

15. KKKarl...

Somebody wants to see you.

[dqueue]

16. So what...

<sarcasm>
Who cares about Jordan. Prince Hassan is not a Patriot. Besides, what about Poland?

</sarcasm>

[Gregorian]

17. Hahahahahaha. Hahahaha.

Kerry needs to get Prince Hassan bin Talal on his campaign team right away.

[Pharlo]

18. Kerry said

months ago that there were foreign leaders who supported him. He also refused to name them out of respect for their positions. As the election grows nearer, it is nice to see some of these leaders indicate their support for John Kerry in such a subtle and clandestine fashion. They should all follow the example set by Prince Hassan bin Talal.

[VegasWolf]

19. He got his request, the debate should answer all questions n/t

[Iceburg]

21. He'll want a PET scan to show function, MRI only shows anatomy

[Carla in Ca]

23. Shortly before King Hussein of Jordan died

he was part of group holding a press conference at the WH with President Clinton and other Middle Eastern heads of state. He only spoke for a few minutes, but what he said was awesome.
Paraphrasing...In all my years, of all world leaders I have met, I have the most respect for President Clinton.
I will never forget those words.
Now look at our standing in the world...I could just cry.

[Judi Lynn]

24. Thanks for posting that event. Never heard it.

He was a courageous man who faced his approaching death with enormous dignity.

Who remembers watching the procession as the plane returned him to Jordan from the U.S. and his convoy took him home to die after he had sought unsuccessfully to find help here for his illness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Prince EL- Hassan bin Talal may be separated by great distances and cultures from the U.S. but he sure as hell has _Bush's number, doesn't he? Bless his heart!



Very interesting biographical material here:

25. That was sad, indeed

As we lose the great leaders, and watch them being replaced with the likes of * et al, I cringe. Kerry can bring it back.

[Toucano]

29. Kick

31. Personally, I suspect

...that his cochlear implant could be causing trouble with his balance. Just an unfounded suspicion of mine, but I sure that the technology exists, and it would explain SO much...

[Kimber Scott]

33. ROFLMAO! Bush: Oh, Mr. Kerry. Why would the world leaders talk to

you and not me? I KNOW how the world works.
