Katie Couric on the Today Show just interviewed a man who

[Auntie Bush]

described in detail all the traits of a Psychopath.

Every one of them applied to bush*. Ladies and Gentlemen...
We have a winner! George Bush is a PSYCHOPATH. :bounce:
So are the people that surround him. Birds of a feather flock together!

He said if your boss is a psychopath...you should QUIT.

I have a feeling that is just what Katie was hinting! :bounce:

2. "Many of the characteristics displayed by psychopaths...

-- especially their egocentricity, lack of remorese, shallow emotions, and deceitfulness -- are closely associated with a profound lack of empathy (an ability to construct a mental and emotional 'facsimile' of another person). They seem unable to 'get into the skin' or to 'walk in the shoes' of others, except in a purely intellectual sense. The feelings of other people are of no concerns to psychopaths." -- "Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us"; Dr. Robert Hare; Pocket Books; 1993; page 44

3. Fake charm, lackof empathy, everything about "me" ....

I guess we were all thinking the same thing.

4. although perhaps ot as noticeable ... doesn't this description also apply

to poppy bush, momma bush, and jebbie bush sr?

they might be a little more varnished, but thye ar all "unable to get into the skin" or to "walk in the shoes" of others ... except for their crocodile tears which they know how to turn on when it is politically convenient for them!

5. He's definitely a psychopath or sociopath

My husband works for psychopaths. Constant yelling and pressure and long hours and crazy deadlines. I can't remember the last two-day weekend he's had, and now they've told him he can't take any vacation this year. He's about to crack up.

Unfortunately, telling him to quit is easier said than done, because he's in the IT field and his job could be filled by 2 or 3 low-wage people on H1B visas from India in a minute. It wouldn't be easy finding another decent-paying job. With 2 kids in college and a mortgage, he's stuck.

[Totally Committed]

6. Mama Bush is DEFINITELY in that category...

To repeat her now-famous quote about all those pesky dead American soldiers coming back from Iraq:

"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths," Barbara Bush said on ABC's "Good Morning America" on March 18, 2003. "Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

Yes, it could be familial sociopathy we're looking at, but one of them is running the country right now, and he's running it into the ground.

7. Psychopaths and Sociopaths are also in charge of the MEDIA...

That's why it is now the "politically correct" thing to be in the United States, thanks to the careful marketing of these psychological profiles. Hollywood is helping to make it popular, too, to be mentally deranged.

It's pretty damned scary.
