Bush On The Couch...
I'm sure many of you have read this. I am in the middle of it and I cant put it down. It is a great look and analysis of Bush's brain, literally. It is also scary that this guy is President. Highly Recommended!

What do others think?

3. I loved it
Readable in one sitting, really. Justin Frank's got a brilliant reputation and CV, and it's a shame that book has been out there for several years without getting the publicity and reading it should have.

Tell everyone.

It's essential.

5. I read it and you'll find
that everything Franks says about megalomaniacs fits Bush-boy's personality and actions to a tee.What an ADHD,parentally-abused,alcoholic-deadened,bully-boy,insecure,name-calling bastard we have running this country.

8. I did. It was interesting
Edited on Wed May-10-06 10:05 AM by Strawman
I read it last year and doon't remember a whole lot about it now, but I liked it. The incident with his baby sibling that died and they never talked about it, the mano-a-mano incident after driving drunk with his little brother in the car. The not ever dealing with any of his issues by claiming to be born again with the slate wiped clean.

I suspect that alot of past preisdents have also had serious personality disorders though. Nixon and Wilson immediately come to mind.

10. Justin Frank nails *'s psyche in Bush On The Couch. The book is easy
to read but frightening to comprehend, as Frank analyzes the dysfunctional nutcase in our White House.

There are 104 comments about Bush On The Couch at Amazon.

Introduction: Curious About George is a chapter excerpt from the book.

11. Books been around for quite sometime
I read this book several years ago--when it was unpatriotic to read this kind of stuff and make comments about our illustrious leader----------Frank was right on the money years ago and the book has stood up to be proven right------he had Bush pegged from the beginning---

14. we all keep on saying this man is delusional
and needs to be stopped after reading that, how can we have this man take us down with him. This man is unaware of his own actions.

great interview though.

15. I believe that ALL prospective presidential candidates
should be given a thorough psychiatric analysis/ evaluation, and be ceritified 'mentally fit' before being allowed to run.

This nutjob NEVER would have made it through.

18. Thank you...
This is very interesting stuff. Bush is so "lovable" to every one he meets. But his humor is a mask that hides a vicious megalomaniac who wasnt loved by his mommy or his daddy enough...

Poor Him! and Poor US unfortunately...

16. "analysis of Bush's brain"
There is something about that phrase that cracks me up. It makes me think that the report would be pretty short, maybe something like "he's a dolt, end of report".
