Is Bush just an asshole...or is he really crazy?

[marmar]

I was listening to Justin Frank, author of "Bush on the Couch," Friday on the Randi Rhodes Show, and what he had to say made a lot of sense - and that's really disturbing. We often say that Bush is a madman, hyperbole intended, but I'm beginning to wonder if he really is psychotic. These two paragraphs from a Justin Frank post on HuffPost earlier this year make a lot of sense:

And how did we, the people whom he is sworn to protect, become his deepest fear? Bush took over the White House under questionable circumstances. While he got the go-ahead from the Supreme Court to become President, he got a secondary message that he could continue to live outside and above the law - that the court would protect him. But protect him from what? From the American majority that voted for Vice President Gore? After a while, his fears spread even to his own constituents. By the end of 2004, Bush proclaimed that he had plenty of political "capitol to spend." But underneath that jovial veneer lurked that same plaguing guilt.

Show me a man without guilt and my first reaction is to wonder what happened to it. This is because the unconscious can never be fully free of guilt, even if one has gotten away with murder - remember Lady MacBeth's "Out out damn spot." For Bush, that damned spot is us, the American people from whom he cannot escape. He feels both compelled and entitled to know what we are thinking and talking about. The American people have finally replaced his political opponents, Saddam Hussein, and even Osama bin Laden, to become his ultimate bogeyman. At the end of the day the question is bogeyman, bogeyman - who is the bogeyman? And in the meantime, while the President is guarding against imaginary enemies, who is going to lead America against the real enemies that face us?

12. Dubya- runt of the litter.....

I've always thought that there was something wrong with president stupid, simply because he seems to be the "runt of the litter....!!" Haven't you ever wondered why he is so short, compared to his dad and brother...?? Dumb ass probably has some sort of birth defect, which has been hushed by his family and the republican party.... That would explain his inability to speak like an adult, to formulate a sensible thought, and to generally function like a normal person...!!! I've always also wondered why he walks around like he has a broomstick shoved up his ass...!!! What a sorry excuse for a government official, let alone the president...!!! But.......... he was re-elected, much to my dismay and astonishment, which doesn't say much about the U.S. electorate....!!! Pitiful, ain't it..???
