What is the cause of Bush's deteriorating mental state?

[GreenPartyVoter]

[calico1]

1. I'd say a combination of drug and alcohol abuse

combined with the stress of running against Kerry and perhaps some mad cow, since I understant he is a big beef eater.

2. Congenital defects. nt

8. No Way

His father was able to put a coalition together that contained Muslim countries. He set a goal to drive Iraq out of Kuwait.

He then had the brains to listen to the Generals and Colin Powell to use the maximum number of troops to do the job, and then get out of Iraq.

This F**king Idiot did the opposite, listen to the wrong people.

W is drug damaged, no doubt about it.

22. Inbreeding brings out recessive defects. nt

[punpirate]

3. Too much massage of his frontal lobes to...

... keep them going after years of alcohol and drug abuse....

[billybob537]

4. Touching himself way too much.

[Doctor_J]

20. No,

that doesn't cause such problems ;-)

[indigobusiness]

24. Or maybe not touching himself enough.

5. Underlying personality disorder

Probably Antisocial Personality Disorder, made even worse by all the drugs and booze and lack of treatment. That's my guess.

6. That damned dog pulled the curtain away and he realized that

he was a mere moran and that has caused him stress that has caused him to drink and pop pills to make himself feel better and to make it easier for his handlers to handle him. (imho)

7. I voted breakdown....

Truth is, when Shrub stole office he was on top of the world, "the world was his oyster", as they say. He got away with stealing the election, and the country was more or less united in fear after 9/11, and united in their will to bring Osama to justice. But things deteriorated rapidly, when it became clear that Bush and the Repukes had their own agenda, that he was determined to create an unnecessary crises in Iraq, and that his main goal was to take care of his corporate cronies at the expense of the well being of our country, and our reputation in the outside world. In short, he's washed up, the game's over, and he knows it.

9. He is a sociopath.

That became crystalline while I watched F911 and it played the "I am The War President" clip. I know sociopaths, Malignant Narcissists especially. One destroyed me financially when I worked for him. I know how they walk the walk and talk the talk. The impression and realisation that I seen just that posture, that delivery, those vocal inflections, that tone of voice...It made me dizzy. Really.

He's being found out. Every day. More each day. That is completely and utterly unacceptable to a sociopath. THEY will define their reality and the realities of all around them. No one else. There is no objective reality save the one they define by their force of will. Anyone who does not accept it is without worth. No one may dare question them.

But when it all begins to unravel, as it it inexhorably does, they flail. They lie and return to the steaming pile of shit that is their lie again and again, because they must. It is their reality. All they know.

The climax and denouement is never ever a fit sight for decent eyes. Far too ugly.

I have seen it. I enjoyed it immensely. But then, I never said I have decent eyes. ;-)

11. ditto that..definitely a sociopath

[Doctor_J]

23. Justin Frank lays out a good case for this

his book is fascinating - * is a textbook sociopath, with paranoid tendencies as well. His first impulse when asked any question is to lie. His entire life at this point is a fantasy, created by Rove and all the other yes-men. In his mind he isn't lying, because whatever he says, his minions will pretend that it's true.

It's pretty sad and if he's still in the WH in February the US is going to pay a heavy price.

10. The drugs/alcohol, whether past or current damaged

the frontal lobes (the screening area of the brain, which helps with inhibiting antisocial behavior). His inclination is behave in an uninhibited way (i.e. throwing tantrums, telling people to cheney themselves, etc.). However, he has to go against those strong instincts every time he's in public...It's hard work, and beating him up. Which is all good. MKJ

how about another drinkie-poo, georgie:beer:

[amber dog democrat]

14. sociopath- no question.

He kind of reminds me of Stalin, only he is not at intelligent.
Howevever he IS evil.
Here's hoping his deteroiration will accellerate. It is fascinating watching him come apart at the seams.

Care for another pretzel ?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

12. He's a ManChimpian Candidate

programmed years ago by the Saudis and subjected to strong psychotropic drugs to infiltrate the US Presidency and destroy western civilization.

[Toronto Ron]

13. Deteriorating???

That would imply his mental state was once higher than it is now. Do you have any evidence of that? Huh??

[GreenPartyVoter]

16. Looking back at speeches he made as governor, he did sound a

bit more with it, I think. I mean really, lately he seems like he's struggling more than ever just to read his teleprompter and listen to his earpiece.

15. Darwin's Theory of Evolution explains it

stupid species are self-immolating.
Really stupid species self immolate faster.

[laruemtt]

17. refried DNA.

[MrSlayer]

18. I'd say it isn't deteriorating it's just that the armor is falling off

He's always been protected by the media but as time goes by it's impossible to keep up the illusion. We're simply seeing what he's always been.

[billbuckhead]

19. Fear, Bush is a coward through and through.

W fears the whirlwind. W fears the blowback from decades of Bush family evildoing could end in a very, very unfortunate end for him and his crime family.

[dweller]

21. Self importance

he's the smallest of the tiniest of the minusculist petty tyrants.

he plays the part so well.

25. syphilis

I saw him down on the corner of 14th and Constitution selling himself for crack. Kept repeating "You want to cheney?"

27. What causes a mental defect mass-murderer to go nuts?

He was always nuts?

[DarbyUSMC]

28. He is shaking in his shoes because Daddy is hollering at him for every

mistake he's made since being selected president. In other words Bush 41 is livid. * fears his disapproval more than anything and Dad is the one person who can tell when Sonny's lying just by how many times he blinks and stammers. * is afraid that Jeb will become the favorite and says over and over "Dad always liked you best." One day he will lose it and blurt out at a press conference that the 2000 election was rigged by his brother and father. He will claim not to have known anything about it until some secret papers turned up in Al Franken's mail and next thing he knew he was a Word puzzle in the New York Times.
