George the Schizophrenic
Our President has more personalities than Sybil.

1st Debate - Barney Fife showed up in all his glory.

2nd Debate - Clubber Lang (aka Mr. T) "You can run but you can't hide Balboa" angry black man.

3rd Debate - Kwai Chang Cain, the reluctant warrior who must fight because it's his only option left to ensure rightousness.


Psycho, psycho, Georgie Boy.

1. Ummm - - I have trouble with that term.
Edited on Wed Oct-13-04 11:04 PM by mac56
I worked for many years with people suffering from schizophrenia. The way the mainstream press uses the term has nothing to do with the illness itself. They use it as inaccurate shorthand for "multiple personality", which really has nothing to do with schizophrenia.

For what it's worth, most of the people I know with schizophrenia try to conduct their lives with integrity and responsibility, as much as their illness will let them. In that, they're a cut above where * will ever be.

2. Agree. Bush has a "Personality Disorder"
Nobody will argue with that after reading about Anti Social Personality
Disorder and Narcissistic Personality Disorder. People schizophrenia face a struggle daily and do their best to cope. Bush faces a 'cake-walk' and does his best to destroy.

4. I also think he's a sociopath / psychopath.
And I agree with your two personality disorders. I've known people with narcissistic personality disorder. One of them was a sociopath, as well. Narcissism and sociopathy tend to dovetail well, unfortunately. I'm so glad I've only met a few in my lifetime. It seems the Shrub Admin is full of them, however. Why is that????

5. Lack of conscience is definitely psychotic
As well as lack of empathy, i.e., innocent Iraqi's.

3. Yeah, and even "Multiple Personality Disorder" has been changed to...
...Dissociative Identity Disorder.
