Bush comment could set record for all-time irony
Bush nixes Denver visit, citing invite to Assange
" Sherzer said Bush doesn't want to be part of a forum that invited someone who has 'willfully and repeatedly done great harm to the interests of the United States.' "

1. That, therein, lies the problem
Bush doesn't believe that he did any harm.

Not to play Monday morning, backseat, diagnose from a videotape psychologist, but that man is DENSE.

5. actually there was some psychological speculation on Bush
Edited on Fri Feb-25-11 07:49 PM by FreakinDJ
and it wasn't too complementary

But McAdams hits the mark regardless. He sees things in the record that are new, and he does so by bringing to bear current, scientifically-validated research findings that shed a bright light on who Bush was and why he did what he did.

According to McAdams, for instance, Bush is an extravert. Extraverts (and that is how you spell it) are charming, sociable, energetic, but prone to impulsiveness and recklessness. Bush was also low on the cognitive side of openness to experience. He was incurious, the opposite of a thinker or deliberator. These two traits combined disastrously, depending on your political position, when it came to the invasion of Iraq. Bush moved impulsively to act, more or less thoughtlessly.

6. It seemed he had some regret later on...
Maybe it was just a sociopath's attempt to 'act as though' he was an integrated human being. I mean, an attempt to behave as though he had a conscience as the result of a heart, mind, and a soul.

But I figure he's just pissed that his puppet-masters made him look like a brainless halfwittted murderer.

7. Especially after Blitzer called him a "High Functioning Moron" on CNN
Notice all his puppet Masters are now trying to "Re-invent" their selves at Bush's expense.

Its like the Gift (Chimp) that keeps on giving

11. He learned to speak Faux Texan
and forgot how to speak the mother Tongue, or was it his Mother's tongue lashings that did it?
