[NOLADEM]

4. Seeing things that aren't there doesn't make you a visionary, it makes you crazy

[whistle]

5. Right, like someone on LSD or hallucinogenic mushrooms

[China_cat]

6. Or schizophrenic.

[whistle]

13. The entire Bush administration is psychopathic and Rumsfeld

...certainly displays schizophrenic behaviors. Great leader my ass!

By the way, look at this list of behaviors by a person who is schizophrenic and see if you can identify others in the Bush administration where this psycological profile fits.

A Schizophrenic's View of the World

Distorted Perceptions of Reality
Living in a world distorted by hallucinations and delusions, individuals with schizophrenia may feel frightened, anxious, and confused.

Hallucinations and Illusions
Hallucinations and illusions are disturbances of perception that are common in people suffering from schizophrenia. Voices may describe the patient’s activities, carry on a conversation, warn of impending dangers, or even issue orders to the individual.

Delusions
Delusions may take on different themes. For example, patients suffering from paranoid-type symptoms – roughly one-third of people with schizophrenia – often have delusions of persecution, or false and irrational beliefs that they are being cheated, harassed, poisoned, or conspired against. These patients may believe that they, or a member of the family or someone close to them, are the focus of this persecution. In addition, delusions of grandeur, in which a person may believe he or she is a famous or important figure, may occur in schizophrenia.

Disordered Thinking
People with schizophrenia may find it difficult to think and reason clearly. In conversation, they may jump from one topic to another without making much sense. They also may make up their own words or sounds.

A person's speech can become incoherent because of the disjointed way in which thoughts are processed. Some people will connect words because of similarity of sound rather than by meaning (known as "clang" association).

Lack Of Emotional Expression
People with schizophrenia may not show the signs of normal emotion. This can include speaking in a monotonous voice, having diminished facial expressions, and appearing to be extremely apathetic.

Inappropriate Reactions
People with schizophrenia may react with inappropriate behavior to certain circumstances. For example, they may laugh hysterically over a sad event.

7. Launching an invasion with too few troops, too lightly equipped, assuming...

...assuming all plans will work perfectly and all variables will turn in your favor, being so sure of all those things that you don't even bother with a backup plan, and then plan to turn everything over to corrupt cronies.

I suppose "visionary leadership" is one way to describe it.

But us "reality based" people prefer the term "classic recipe for disaster" for such Custer-esque "leadership".

[jimshoes]

8. So was Vlad the Impaler

or so I've heard. If lying caused ulcers, Tony would have no stomach left.

[Bassic]

9. It is becoming clearer and clearer every day that,

Tony Snow takes a lot of LSD.

[donheld]

10. Visionary leader

What ever Rummies visions are mean death to 'merika.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

11. Oh, he has a vision all right.

[tanyev]

12. So was Rasputin.

[indepat]

14. Rummy has led by ramming his PNAC vision down the throats of our military

with disastrous, if not catastrophic, results.

[spanone]

15. Snow said without equivocation...We're winning in Iraq. no hesitation.

He's so full of shit he doesn't even think before he speaks. It's insulting.
But, hey, it's Tony Snow so we can't take him seriously.

[necso]

16. He's a

strange-voices-in-his-head-ary "leader" too.

[sutz12]

17. Too many visions...no grasp on reality. nt

[bryant69]

18. I had a vision once

But it was mostly of English Toffee. I don't think it made me a better leader.

I love english toffee though.
