Why Bush Didn't Make the List (Froomkin on the lack of inclusion of Bush on Times 100)

[Aviation Pro]

Why was Bush dropped from Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world?

AFP reports: "'I think Bush by this point in his presidency probably has less influence than the position should grant him automatically,' Time's Deputy Managing Editor Adi Ignatius told AFP, explaining the decision to ditch Bush.

"'He's a lame duck . . . but his influence is below that of a normal lame duck figure. We just thought Bush was at a low ebb in terms of his influence.'"

Nonsense, it's because they couldn't find anyone to write anything nice about the post-pubescent adolescent psychopath.

1. Okay, first to be fair... Bush is not a psychopath.

Please. He's a sociopath and an addictive personality with delusions of grandeur. Hell, he's even got delusions of compentence. But psychopathy? I think not.

2. Read "Bush on the Couch"....

...you'll change your mind.

3. Remote diagnosis is crap when Frist does it. I feel no different when a Dem does it.

My hunch is that the conclusions from Bush on the Couch are very close to right. But it's still an ignorant way to diagnos.
