Oh Shit. Bush may really be crazy. |
|
I've been reading posts about whether Capitol Hill Blue was right about Shrub throwing tantrums and using obscenities...then the Washington Post and a buncha other articles about how his aids are afraid to speak to him.
Isn't this the kind of shit Nero was pulling? Hitler, too, was known to get furious and throw tantrums whenever he got bad news. Nixon threw out obscenities constantly...
Bush had that damn tape microphone strapped to his back during the debates, feeding him lines; then he had that incident in Canada where he was being fed his lines, too.
Then we've got 8 minutes of reading "My Pet Goat" to kids after he learned the US was under attack...
The guy might seriously be incompetent. There's also the whole issue of medications/alcoholism/etc.
Could the Rovian hail Mary be Bush resigning for health reasons, and Dick (no term limits) Cheney takes over until he gets his feet under him for 2008?
Seriously, no tin foil hat here, but is our President mentally ill?

My friend Alicia begged me back in 1999 not to vote for Nader cause she saw Bush on Trinity Broadcasting Network. She was like "Melody, you have no idea how crazy these fucks are! You should vote for Gore, just so you don't have to deal with Bush."
I was completely brainwashed at that point, there was no difference between Gore and Bush, that was what the corporate media told me at least.
Gore kicks so much ass now, I wish I could go back in history and change my MS vote for Nader into a vote for Gore, I feel robbed.
My friend Alicia says "I told you so", and ever since 9/11 we have both been Cassandra's screaming against Bush.

15. Nope, been here a long time. |
|
And I know he's dumbasaboxarocks. I just never really considered that he might be genuinely mentally ill. Like padded cell, take your thorazine mentally ill.
The potential consequences of this are really something. Say he resigns for mental health reasons. Cheney has two years to establish himself for a presidential bid. We have a new Veep behind Cheney (Gerald Ford ring a bell?)
I'm talking about him actually being declared unfit due to MH reasons. That's serious shit with serious consequences.

18. Not rhetorical. And I don't mean crazy like "why the fuck would he ... |
|
...do that stupid thing?" I mean crazy like Dick Cheney becomes president within the next year crazy.
If that ain't a "Oh shit" moment for you, then I don't know what is.

16. I'm not at all surprised |

to hear about this aspect of his behavior. It goes with the whole cowboy image.
A bigger worry to me is Cheney resigning for ill health, giving a leg up to his replacement.

He won't go until they have all their duckies in a row and are ready for a full frontal coup d'etat, as opposed to the back door one they initiated in 2000 and consolidated in 2004.

Flat out. He's broken. Sociopaths can appear to be outwardly charming. They are known to fool a lot of people who are close to them. Bundy had a long-term girlfriend throughout the years of murdering, and she never suspected a thing.
People a litte further removed, however, can usually see that things don't add up. A guy who claims he's some big religious conversion job doesn't call others major league asshole or turdblossom or say FUCK SADDAM, we're taking him out. Nothing Smirk does hints even slightly at a sane, normal person.

I'm going to repeat this once more. I'm not talking about incompetent like the fucker can't do anything right. We all know that is true. I'm talking about incompetent like he needs a guardian to protect his assets because he's fucking insane.
I understand that a malevolent, evil, selfish bastard of a man occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. What I'm wondering is if he's also crazy. mentally ill. off the reservation. crackers.
get it?

Remember his run-in with Al Hunt, journalist, who wrote an article about the idiot being drunk when he had announced he had stopped drinking? He went ballistic on Hunt, his wife, Judy Woodruff and their son who was 4 years old at the time.:scared: He's nuts and has access to THE button. :scared:
