Bush's bizarre "Docs loving women" rant could indicate Profound Psychosis
Edited on Tue Sep-07-04 02:15 PM by Sensitivity
George Bush's recent campaign rant " . .We got an issue in America. Too many good docs are gettin' out of business. Too many O-B-G-Y-N's aren't able to practice their...their love with women all across this country" may really indicate serious psychological problems in the White House.


The prominent George Washington University psychiatrist Dr. Justin Frank in his book Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President, has diagnosed the President as a “paranoid megalomaniac” and “untreated alcoholic” whose “lifelong streak of sadism, ranging from childhood pranks (using firecrackers to explode frogs) to insulting journalists, gloating over state executions and pumping his hand gleefully before the bombing of Baghdad” showcase Bush’s instabilities.



Capitol Hill Blue reports:
"Bush’s mental stability has become the topic of Washington whispers in recent months. Capitol Hill Blue first reported on June 4 about increasing concern among White House aides over the President’s wide mood swings and obscene outbursts"

1. I agree with the diagnosis.
But I would also add Schizophrenia and God complex.

3. This topic is pretty important
I'm not really into doctors trying to make diagnoses on a public figure, but I can easily believe that Bush is on anti-depressants.

He is a person who has had no particular stress in his life, nothing to harden him to reality, because he's always been cushioned from it, either by alcohol or getting bailed out of his mistakes. He's afraid to read newspapers, because they'll say things he doesn't want to hear.

Now his mistakes are right out for the world to see. He's getting Americans killed. He's still insulated by the RW cult-machine, that no doubt feeds him a prettied-up view of things, but a person can only sustain that kind of cognitive dissonance at a severe price.

I'm pretty sure he's on something to keep him from freaking out. And it's one thing for staffers to hide Reagan's deterioration when he was in his second term. We are being asked to give Bush 4 more years.

If he's cracking, and has to have drugs to keep himself together, I sure have the right to know.

I have taken Prozac myself, and have nothing against SSRI's and other anti-depressants, but I want to know if the leader of the free world is taking them so he can sustain his self-image.

26. I doubt if he's on an anti-depressant
because the effects are not consistent with someone on an anti-depressant. Perhaps they have him on something to calm him down, perhaps something also anti-psychotic, but not an anti-depressant. Then again, if he's an alcoholic, there is too great of an opportunity for someone with a substance abuse problem to also abuse drugs, and while he might be cracking up, giving him prescription medicines might exacerbate the symptoms of delusion and narcissism instead of helping.

18. Also, check out this info about serial bullies
Edited on Tue Sep-07-04 03:42 PM by rocknation
Subject: Also, check out this info about serial bullies

The Socialised Psychopath or Sociopath

Motivation: power, gratification, personal gain, survival
Mindset: manipulation, deception, evil
Malice: high to very high; when held accountable, off the scale

* is a convincing, practised liar and when called to account, will make up anything spontaneously to fit their needs at that moment

* relies on mimicry, repetition and regurgitation to convince others that he or she is both a "normal" human being and a tough dynamic manager, as in extolling the virtues of the latest management fads and pouring forth the accompanying jargon

* exhibits unusual and inappropriate attitudes to sexual matters, sexual behaviour and bodily functions; underneath the charming exterior there are often suspicions or hints of sex discrimination and sexual harassment, perhaps also sexual dysfunction, sexual inadequacy, sexual violence or sexual abuse...

Sound familiar?

7. He has some issues with his father, too.
I think he's been in a life-long situation of failing to meet Poppy's expectations (school, TANG, Business, etc). I really believe, at some psychological level, this Iraqi war was Dimson's way to show his father that he could defeat Saddam and drive him from office, one-upping Dad on his CIC capabilities. This was also the action that would get him re-elected....so he thought.

28. He desperately needs a second term
to show up Poppy, who couldn't get one. Imagine the interaction between * and his daddy back in his "young and irresponsible" days. This is all about payback.

8. Baah. Psychosis? Nah. Lack of sleep, definitely.
Let's be fair here a second...I'm gonna give the guy the benefit of the doubt and assume he didn't mean exactly that. The guy's working on 2 hours a sleep a night no doubt. I mean if I knew what I was up against this November, I'd be working 22 hours a day too. However, that still doesn't mean he's gonna escape this one. I'd like to see how they handle this.

9. Fair? The Chimperor still goes to bed by 10:00 PM every night.
He did have to stay up late at the Nuremburg rally last week, but that's the only time. He get's at least 7 hours sleep per night.

There is something seriously wrong with Bush* but it ain't sleep deprevation.

19. Oh good Christ that's funny!
Two hours of sleep/night? Please.

Be fair? I'll give that clown absolutely ZERO in the benefit-of- the-doubt department.

Question is, why would you give him any?

32. Two hours of sleep? Not a chance.
On the night of September 11, 2001 he was in bed by 10:30pm, sleeping like a baby.

35. So how do you explain all the other idiotic things he says
when he's getting plenty of sleep?

Which is not to say that I think you are remotely correct about the Chimperor letting a little thing like a campaign interfere with his naptimes.

But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt--surely you have an equally reasonable explanation for his complete inability to articulate a coherent sentence on every other occasion.

22. When he loses the election, will Bush launch a nuclear attack?
Given his serious psychological problems, would Bush be able to throw a tantrum by starting a nuclear war? Would he bomb Iran and North Korea, the other members of his "Axis of Evil"? If he were to attempt to launch such a war, are there safeguards in place to prevent such a deranged president from doing this?

More to the point of this post, I suspect that Bush's latest gaffe will cost him the votes of thousands of women, and will likely cost him any chance of winning this election.

25. Couldn't this just be Dub remembering his favorite porn film?
Or maybe he's just fascinated with the image of defensless women in humiliating positions. Quick, someone throw a stirrup at him and see if he salivates!

33. also....
.....on Friday he made another gaffe. He said something about the supplemental money paying for "body parts." This is a grisly slip of the tongue.

Plus he fell flat on his face today.

Something's drastically wrong.
