George W Bush = narcissistic personality disorder

[Botany]

I sent the picture of W drinking to a friend who runs a treatment
center in Cleveland and asked what was his diagnosis of George ....

And this was his professional opinion:

The technical term is called narcissistic personality disorder with
anti-social features. Google it. The generic term is called evil.

From Wiki on narcissistic personality disorder

1. Narcissistic personality disorder...at the very least!

Of course, he could also be just a huge piece of shit pathetic excuse for a human being, too.

:rofl:

Whatever his myriad of problems are, I'm glad he'll be gone in a matter of weeks. May he disappear completely from public, except for his appearances once he's charged with abuse of authority, war crimes, etc.

2. He can tell all that from a picture? Wow! Does the

medical profession know this?

4. I would imagine that the picture was a very small part of his

diagnosis .... the man has been in charge of an alcohol and drug treatment center
for years and has very extensive professional background .... his thoughts
are also based from watching bush for years.

He told me the day after it happened that the pretzel story* was pure b.s. and
any client that told him the same story would get a pee test ASAP.


* You have a gag reflex

7. I'm sorry it just struck me as a little over the top.

I'll be so glad when Bush is gone.

3. Sounds like Cheney too.

5. And Sarah Palin.

6. Hmm, photo's not there anymore

Missing from that list is that nothing is ever their fault, it's always someone else's.

And that they feel no remorse for any of their behavior, however wrong or cruel.
