How Will George Bush Satisfy His Psychopathic Urges After He Leaves Office?
Edited on Mon Oct-15-07 08:18 PM by David Zephyr
I think that it's a fair question.

I know that I am not alone when I say that George W. Bush is a psychopath. Would I be nuts to suggest that possibly he enjoys murdering and torturing people? He certainly does it a lot. More than American that I can think of both now or in our nation's past.

Consider:

George W. Bush presided over the executions of 152 men and women, many retarded, during his term as Governor of Texas... more than any other governor in any state during his time there. Even Republican apologist Tucker Carlson was horrified after interviewing Governor Bush about the number of executions that had taken place while he was Governor.

******

Tucker Carlson's own words:

"In the weeks before the execution, Bush says, a number of protesters came to Austin to demand clemency for Karla Faye Tucker. 'Did you meet with any of them?' I asked.

"Bush whips around and stares at me. 'No, I didn't meet with any of them', he snaps, as though I've just asked the dumbest, most offensive question ever posed. 'I didn't meet with Larry King either when he came down for it. I watched his interview with (Karla Faye)Tucker, though. He asked her real difficult questions like, 'What would you say to Governor Bush?'

"'What was her answer?' I wondered.

"'Please,' Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, 'don't kill me.'

"I must have looked shocked — (Bush was) ridiculing the pleas of a condemned prisoner who has since been executed seems odd and cruel — because he immediately stops smirking."

*****

In his capacities as President of the United States, George W. Bush ordered the invasion of Iraq and the dropping of bombs indiscriminately over civilian sites killing and permanently wounding thousands of helpless children. As of today, nearly 1 million Iraqi deaths can be directly put at the feet of George W. Bush. Could it be that he enjoys it? I wonder.

And, it is an established fact that George W. Bush personally approved the inhumane torture of men and women violating every international treaty and standard of humanity. It is even reported that he had seen all of the photographs from Abu Graib (even the ones still "sealed") where torture, sexual humiliations and even murder were all committed. What was his real reaction to those photographs? I wonder.

So an honest question is: When George W. Bush leaves office, how will he satisfy what appears to be an insatiable appetite to torture and murder people?

I don't think there are re-hab clinics for psychopathic murderers. But then, he didn't go to rehab for his cocaine abuse or his alcohol abuse either, did he?

6. "The Trials of Henry Kissinger"
Edited on Mon Oct-15-07 08:21 PM by David Zephyr
Oops. Thanks for giving Henry his due mention here: I think that Kissinger and Bush probably are about on the same level for their murderous activities.

Everyone should see the documentary "The Trials of Henry Kissinger" to get an idea of how depraved that man is.

Thanks, ribofunk.

3. Maybe he'll go back to blowing up frogs
«`We were terrible to animals,' recalled Throckmorton, laughing. A dip behind the Bush borne turned into a small lake after a good rain, and thousands of frogs would come out. `Everybody would get BB guns and shoot them,' Throckmorton said. `Or we'd put firecrackers in the frogs and throw them and blow them up.'»

14. Or shooting his brothers >>>



http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A13603-2004Nov25.html

When George W. Bush was 16 or so, the frogs in the pond outside his boyhood home in Midland, Tex., weren't the only targets the future president shot at with his trusty BB gun.

"He said, 'I'm going to count to 10, and you run all the way down the hall,' " the president's little brother, Neil Bush, recalled at a Utah Republican Party dinner in Provo two years ago, according to the Deseret News.

Big brother drawing a bead on the backsides of siblings Neil and Jeb must have left a mark because Neil also told the story to a class of Richmond second-graders. "I was running as fast as I can with my little lightweight summer pj's on, and then '7, 8, 9, 10!' Boom! I felt it on my right cheek," the Richmond.com news reported his recounting.




Remember when George was 16 Neil would have been around 7 years old.

30. Oh quite!
You remember he branded his frat brothers in college?

Cartoonist deals blow to Bush's brand image
Presidential hopeful's youthful follies return to haunt him
The US elections: special report

Martin Kettle in Washington
Friday September 24, 1999
The Guardian

As he nurses his strong opinion-poll lead in the presidential election more than 13 months away, Governor George W Bush of Texas has demonstrated an enviable ability to dodge his opponents' best political blows.

Neither Mr Bush's youthful drug and drink problems, nor the revelation earlier this week that a family friend helped him to dodge the Vietnam era draft by securing him a plum posting at home in the Texas national guard, seems to have hampered his apparently relentless march towards the Republican party's presidential nomination next year.

***

That man is the cartoonist Garry Trudeau, whose Doonesbury strip - published each day in the Guardian as well as in dozens of American newspapers - has exposed, well, not exactly the smoking gun from Mr Bush's past, but at least the smoking buttock.

It has been claimed for some months that when he was a Yale undergraduate in the 60s, Mr Bush joined, and later became president of, the college fraternity Delta Kappa Epsilon, whose initiation rites involved branding each newly enrolled member on the backside with a red-hot branding iron.

On Tuesday Doonesbury interrupted its normal cartoon format with a photograph, taken circa 67, of a flesh burn in the shape of the Greek letter Delta on an unidentified undergraduate Yale buttock. The photo, which shows the DKE brand, was taken by Martin Oppenheimer, now a Washington investment manager, who snapped it when he was working for the Yale Daily News and Mr Bush was president of the "Deke" fraternity.

"This week's strip isn't anything more than sustained silliness," Mr Trudeau, himself a Yale graduate, told the Washington Post diary yesterday. His strip, he said, merely offered "a perspective on George's youthful sadism".





http://www.yaledailynews.com/article.asp?AID=31064

Cartoonist Garry Trudeau '70 said he thinks a little-known fact about President George W. Bush '68's past -- that his first mention in The New York Times occurred in 1967 when, as former president of the Delta Kappa Epsilon chapter at Yale, Bush defended the fraternity's practice of branding its pledges with a red-hot coat hanger -- deserves more national attention. ...

In a News story the next day, Bush is quoted calling the branding "insignificant." He said he did not understand how the News "can assume Yale has to be so haughty not to allow this type of pledging to go on."



I'm looking for the comic strip if anyone has it.

4. Another fair question is how
did he satisfy it before he ever took office of any kind? Those urges don't just appear out of nowhere. They are usually developed over a long period of time getting increasingly intense.

12. Perhaps Laura will encourage him to resume drinking
frequently and publicly. Nothing slows a psychopath down like alcoholic mental disease combined with cirrhosis.

20. Dubya's ridicule of Karla Faye Tucker is one of the most egregious
transgressions I've ever seen by a public official.

The man's disregard for anything which is owed respect was capsulized in that moment for me.

You don't publicly humiliate a woman condemned to death and then turn around and ask for voters' trust.

This president sanctions torture. Frighteningly, roughly 33% of the electorate still support him.
