GOP delegates to get help (therapy for "psychological scarring")

[Khephra]

NEW YORK -- What would a visit to New York be without a little therapy?

The Republican National Convention will offer stress counseling to any delegate freaked out by terror warnings, protesters, or perhaps just trying to catch a cab across town.

St. Vincent Catholic Medical Centers, which counseled New Yorkers who fled the World Trade Center, will have experts standing by at Madison Square Garden to treat psychological scarring as well as cuts and scrapes.

Anyone feeling rattled can find a little quiet space there before jumping back into the hurly-burly of the convention floor, said Dr. Spencer Eth, the centers' medical director of behavioral health.

1. Sounds like Dr. Happy and his Magic Medicine Bag will be there

But I thought he was on the road with the Stones this year?

:shrug:

2. it'll take more than a "little quiet space" to cure the ills bush has

inflicted on the rethugs. i think they need a 12-year "quiet time."

3. This makes sense

Since all of those poor, poor GOPers are going to be forced into reality about what the rest of us think of their gawd chimpy.

4. Better lay in large supplies of sacramental wine...

5. is Tory Blair gonna give them counseling on those protestors?

"Remember, those unwashed Screamers will grow up eventually; we can ignore those spoiled, immoral fools."

[JDPriestly]

6. This is disgusting.

Thousands and thousands of low or no income mentally ill Americans cannot afford adequate mental health care. Bush has done nothing to help them. But he makes sure that "counseling" is available to his elitist rich bum friends at the Republican Convention. Typically Republican, "I've got mine! You get yours!"

8. And notice how so many stories link terrorists to protestors

ever so subtly. :eyes:

There's obviously some serious pathology going on with anybody who supports the Chimp...

"and justice for all"

[Generic Other]

12. I'd like to psychologically scar a few of those idiots...

Hey, GOP guy, you have a small penis and your toupee is slipping.

Yoohoo, GOP gal, you're old, your boob job is uneven, and your man is screwing a hooker.

13. .what a bunch of weenies......

If this is the amount of thought they gave to coming to NYC, they DESERVE the whim whams...big time.

14. Don't they think that sh*t is for "liberals?"

Isn't that "wimpy" to get "help?"

Seriously, they whine all the time about that sort of thing. Losers.

[Rose Siding]

21. I guess Rove complained about the headline

and called in to have them change it. :shrug:

Mods, the headline I posted the thread under was what it was originally. Please don't lock it as it's not my fault that AP changed it on me.
