The most obvious and OFF LIMITS topic of all.

1. yikes

What's the basis for the info below the photos?

2. Interesting, but where is this from?

We live in an age where we have to cite everything...but that's healthy.

4. Some sources are coming forward...

But they are stuck between two fears, losing thier jobs and losing thier country.

3. The speaking in tongues syndrome...

is called "Taylor's Aphasia" if I recall correctly.

I get it sometimes when I have a bad migraine.

[donhakman]

5. This is different

Forgetting names due to vasular migraine abnormalities is much different than being totally incoherent.

TIA's add up to some severe episodes far beyond saying "putting food on your family" by mistake.

Republicans have had much practice keeping a senile president in office and running wars in latin America and the middle east at the same time.

6. Oh, I get totally incoherent!

The words I intend to say and what comes out of my mouth bear no relationship to each other when I get that symptom.

[donhakman]

7. Well then

although you do not have classic TIA's, would you say you should be disqualified to be President?

[benburch]

9. Me?

Oh, I am disqualified to be President in so many different ways!

8. This is why Cheny cites Bush as perfect

For the job. He is so easily manipulated via Cheney.

I know this is obscure, but I have learned to trust my gut instincts. When I refused to listen to them, I was always wrong.
And, I must say, whenever I hear Cheney speak, the hair on the back of my neck stands straight up. I dislike him. I do not trust him. He frightens me. There is something about him, that my gut instinct screams out at me - that man is bad, very very bad. And he pulls the strings. He controls the president, and by proxy, the most powerful nation on the planet.

10. If he has seizures, maybe he does hear God talking to him

I just did a little Googling on Bush and seizures. I found a source for the quote in the original post at http://tbrnews.org/Archives/a876.htm

Something like this would certainly explain why they can't let Bush testify before the commission without Cheney.

Google also turned up some interesting information on seizures in general -- including the suggestion that people who have visions or who experience God talking to them have generally been affected by epilectic or other seizures. So when Bush says he gets advice from his heavenly father, he just may be describing the literal truth.

Scary, no?

11. Without power Cheney wouldn't last a year

but he has lasted Bushco's travesties better than I thought. The man who is heartbeat away from being a heartbeat away from the Presidency is the Speaker of the House. That could happen in an hour.

The untalked about story is that these two right from the start were UNFIT for high office- in so many ways. This is just the most tangible.

12. Mini-strokes?

I don't know....I sure don't like the sound of it, and they've publicized several of Bush's physicals. He managed to give a well scripted speech to the UN when we were moving toward war...I'm not sure he could have done that if he were experiencing "mini-strokes".

TBR and the Prison Planet may not be the best sources for this. I saw it on Rense, also. I think we should wait until this is out in at least Talking Points Memo.....

If it's true, I don't think he can be considered fit for the Presidency from a medical standpoint. If it's not true, it's a little bit sickening that people would use such a serious illness for politics. I hope it's not true. I want him out, but I don't want him dead or incapacitated.

13. First I've heard of this

We've got to get this out.
