Bush's response to the Lyme disease issue ...

[Lisa]

I haven't mentioned this before on DU, but a friend-of-a-friend in D.C. sometimes passes along my notes, direct to The Decider -- and occasionally I get a response. Here's today's.

What's this I hear about you having limey disease? Is this something you
caught from Tony Blair after using his Pepsodent toothpaste? I always knew that guy was
no good!

Yer pal,

Lisa

p.s. The people on the internets says that the disease has a bunch of symptoms that should be easy to spot. I did ask a doctor I know about this, but when I told him it was you I thinking of, he muttered something like "impossible to find a pre-onset baseline", whatever that means.
--panic attacks, anxiety
--depression
--short-term memory loss
--sleep disturbance
--hallucinations
--depersonalization
--neurocognitive impairment (brain fog)
--psychosis (rare) including diagnosis of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder

Ha! You's obvious confusicatin' this with LIME disease, which is what you
are getting' when you eat too many lime 'r lemons--kinda the reverse a'
rickets.

But anyhoo, I ain' showin' none a' the Simpsons you mention. Although, I was
so worried when you mentioned 'em, that I started hyperventin' a bit and got
a little short a' breath. I mean it really brought me down a little

--wait a moment, what was I jus' sayin'? Oh, yeah, how I worry more since I
ain' been getting the sleep I needs to face all them strange things I been
seein' a' late. Oh well, it don' much matter, on account a, truth be known,
I ain' really all that much to worry 'bout no how--at leas', that's what I
think I meant to say--I forgets now. What's that? Huh? Say again?

Sorry, somebody tryn'a talkin' to me on the brain-phone. Gotta go.

GWB
