I'm sure Bush is crying crocodile tears over the moronic statments he's made in the past.
Posted by chris65203 at January 13, 2005 09:15 PMSincerely, do you all believe that this man is damaged, either severely emotionally damaged or slightly mentally damaged? Or both? He really shows a lot of signs. I wonder how much partying he did back in the day. He really seems like a burn-out. I'm not kidding.
Posted by Brian Bell at January 13, 2005 09:16 PMHis use of "crusade" wasn't such a great idea either.
Posted by Brian Boru at January 13, 2005 09:24 PMWell, Bush says this and Bush says that. We could argue about it for days.
Instead, why not get the 2005 George Bush Inauguration ballcap?
Now, the link I gave you above is for the khaki colored cap. For some reason, I think the readers here might prefer the blue cap.
What a way to kick off the next 4 years!
It's only $19.95. You know that collector items like these are HOT HOT HOT on Ebay on down the road!
Impress your family!
Impress your friends!
Show off to your coworkers!
Impress that "special someone!"
Get the cap!
Posted by muckdog at January 13, 2005 09:40 PMI saw a clip from the Walter's interview on my local news when they did a story on the fact that there were NO WMD's. Toward the end of the segment the anchor finishes with, "And here's what the President had to say "...cut to clip of Walter's asking Junior in her somber/serious look and voice, "So now that we haven't found any wmd's was it worth it?" Junior without a moments hesitation and that sh*t eating smirk of his proudly says something to the effect, "Of course it was!"....(almost thought he was going to answer Hell yeah)!
The man possesses not one reflective or introspective cell in his body. All his reflecting is done in a mirror and all his introspection is done at the gut instinct of fear, hate and anger level such as teaching those who weren't loyal to him a lesson...hello O'Neill, DiIullio, Wilson, Clarke.
The only thing I can think in order for him to partly admit a "something" which is very out of character for him, is the man is afraid of something very bad coming out or happening that will be very damaging (purely my speculation and based on nothing I know and also not very likely). Or perhaps more likely, Rove told him to wear his "compassionate conservative" image in order to be a better spokesman for selling us his snake oil social security cure-all elixir.
Or maybe not likely but still possible, he realizes Iraq is truly a lost WAr as Powell has stated and might need to be serving and eating some major crow very shortly when the carnage and civil war persist in Iraq and Junior pulls the troops out trying to act like we won.
Posted by emal at January 13, 2005 10:01 PMHow much money did you sink into this losing "cap" venture muck. And I assume you will donate the procedes to either the tsunami,Sudan, or Dafur victims? For all the bs you spread here you should give Steve and the gang here them for free. But if you want I am sure after the inauguration there will be plenty left over and they'll be a dime a dozen and you won't be able to give them away fast enough. I'll help you get rid of all those pesky unsold ones with a cap burning bonfire on the beach near my house..deal.
Fwiw....cap isn't a very "macho" or manly type of word that Junior would like to be associated with in those red states. Plus, I hear them macho cowboy hats and boots are going like hotcakes...Junior is having a special hat made with a gold W on his. Get some knockoffs of this hat and boots and I bet you they would sell a lot better than a "cap" with his base of redstate voters.

OFF TOPIC: I had a strange thing happen. I went to sign on AOL and was told that my account had been interrupted due to a violation by me. It turns out that AOL interrupted my account because I sent a comment on "The Haute Dresses the Twins Will Wear" that said "who gives a fuck what the twins will wear". For that, AOL discontinued my account briefly. Has anyone else had this happen? Has the long arm of Bush finally reached into comments left online?
Posted by Judith at January 13, 2005 10:55 PMRemember, these are the same people who say, and quite confidently I might add, that they will create our reality. Could this be the beginning of creating a reality that GWB has become a introspective, mature and responsible adult? LOL
And while GWB is transforming himself, Karl Rove is telling those at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University to judge leaders on the basis of character. "America needs people who have the moral clarity and courage to do what's right, regardless of consequence, fashion or fad. You either have values ingrained in your heart and soul that will not change with the wind, or you don't." Yeah Rove, you guys sure have "moral clarity". BARF!

Function: noun
1 : an emotionally and behaviorally disordered state characterized by clear perception of reality except for the individual's social and moral obligations and often by the pursuit of immediate personal gratification in criminal acts,.................... ~~~~~~~~Hmmmmmmmm, criminal acts?? Preemptive war justified by deliberate fabrications? Genocide inflicted on a captive population? Torture of detainees in custody? Contamination of enviroment and infrastructure for generations to come through use of depleted uranium munitions? I say hang the bastard and televise the entire proceeding. Then give all the money from the sale of commercials to Iraqi orphans.
What Steve Duncan said. Oh yea, and hang these other war criminals while you're at it: Rice, Powell, Feith, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Cheney.

You violated TOS (Terms of Service) agreement and AOL took corrective action on your lewd behavior. Use the F word two more times and you will lose your AOL account permanately. BTW someone had to C&P what you wrote and send it in to TOS. Guess you've made some enemies. I'm thinking it was your New Years eve date.
Posted by Chevy at January 14, 2005 06:20 AMBush has never been held accountable in his life. Not accountable for what he says or does. Why would it stop now. He is unaccountable.

Posted by Judith at January 14, 2005 06:43 AMJudith, remember, Chevy's racist sister-in-law is his source and Said so, isn't that proof enough.
Posted by emal at January 14, 2005 07:12 AMI fail to detect any growth in Bush's maturity. His bash at Social Securtiy in front of a hand-picked audience, recapped on the Daily Show a couple of nights ago, was incredibly stupid. As Jon Stewart remarked afterward, it's often difficult to watch him.
One would have thought that by this time, Bush would have developed an ear for how senseless he
sounds.
Hey Chevy, still waiting to hear how blacks use fraud in the Social Security System. Got caught in that lie didn't you?Posted by Judith
Judy I answerd your question in the thread it was posted in. I will give you the same answer here. I cannot answer your accusation for the simple reason i never said Blacks were committing fraud with SS. It is not me that's lying it is you by accusing me of something i never wrote. You seem to have an obsession with the "Lets get Chevy Crowd" and prove i'm a liar and destroy my credibility. Never gonna happen, sorry to burst your bubble toots. I really don't understand this mentality. I'm not your enemy. Here's what i did say. My sis inlaw told me a certain segment of the population "ABUSE"(Keyword) the system. They come into the office with a hotplate and know exactly what to say and that qualify's them for SS benefits. Over this you and MuckCat go berserk and go on the attack calling me a racist, a liar, etc. etc. Shame on the both of you.
Chevy

Ummmm, Chevy, I hate to break it to you, but you ummm, You don't have any credibility! Trust me, no need to worry about others here destroying it for you. You've managed to do that all just fine on your own and posts like the one in which you made that very comment and many others here (such as linking to opinion polls from 1999 that back your statements) are proof positive.
Posted by emal at January 14, 2005 08:33 AMOh yeah, Chevy "Let's get Chevy crowd" Paranoia will destroy ya!

Do they have one with the idiot sons picture and REPUBLI-CON as the caption?
Steve, psychopath is a global layman's term. A more psychodynamic analysis is provided here.
In "Bush on the Couch," Justin Frank indicates Bush suffers from several mental disorders. As he says in his introduction, If one of my patients frequently said one thing and did another, I would want to know why. If I found that he often used words that hid their true meaning and affected a persona that obscured the nature of his actions, I would grow more concerned. If he presented an inflexible worldview characterized by an oversimplified distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, allies and enemies, I would question his ability to grasp reality. And if his actions revealed an unacknowledged -- even sadistic -- indifference to human suffering, wrapped in pious claims of compassion, I would worry about the safety of the people whose lives he touched.
Some of the defining psychological features of Bush are:
Bush's false sense of omnipotence, instilled within him during childhood and emboldened by his deep investment in fundamentalist religion
The president's history of untreated alcohol abuse, and the questions it raises about denial, impairment, and the enabling streak in our culture
The growing anecdotal evidence that Bush may suffer from dyslexia, ADHD, and other thought disorders
His comfort living outside the law, defying international law in his presidency as boldly as he once defied DUI statutes and military reporting requirements
His love-hate relationship with his father, and how it triggered a complex and dangerous mix of feelings including yearning, rivalry, anger, and sadism
Bush's rigid and simplistic thought patterns, paranoia, and megalomania -- and how they have driven him to invent adversaries so that he can destroy them
So, Justin Frank indicates the idiot son is a megalomaniacal paranoid, has a false sense of omnipotence, is unable to manage his emotions, has a lifelong need to defy authority resulting in an unresolved love-hate relationship with his father, and, of course, suffers from a history of untreated drug and alcohol abuse. The idiot son has an "almost pathological aversion to owning up to his infractions" and feels "entitled to live outside the limitations that apply to ordinary people."
Projection (attributing one's own unacceptable impulses to others) appears to be his primary defense mechanism. He calls Kerry a flip-flopper, but he has a history of never making up his mind. He claims there is an axis of evil waiting to kill Americans, but his own policies have killed more Americans. He claims others want to end the American dream, but his own policies are doing so. He claims others want to take our liberties, but he supports the Patriot Act. He claims others wish to hurt us, but he validates torture. He says others are not law abiding, but he ignores the Geneva Conventions.
Awwwwww!
Poor Chevy.
Ever the victim.

Chevy, the persecution complex fits in nicely with the paranoia.
Posted by emal at January 14, 2005 11:49 AMChevy's starting to sound like the stereo-typical whining, sniveling little liberal the right loikes to harp on about.
Definitely a big turn off for Ann Coulter.

Posted by emal at January 14, 2005 12:55 PMThere's evidence that addiction stops emotional growth. If that's true, and Bush drank starting in college, we have a 18 to 30 year old running the country, depending upon how much emotional growth Bush did before he started drinking heavily.
considering his difficult childhood with its marked lack of parental guidance, I'd think that he's emotionally younger rather than older.

Posted by clio at January 14, 2005 04:42 PMChevy, you amaze me. You and Geogie have a lot in common. You both lie and then deny the lie by lying again. It's very simple. I asked the question and you didn't answer it. End of story.
My point to you was that you cannot just throw out statistics, or comments without expecting someone to challenge you on them, especially if expressed as a fact. YOU FAILED THE TEST.
Posted by Judith at January 14, 2005 04:45 PMPhidipides, thanks for the analysis. My biggest fear is what this analysis shows. We have given power to a very mentally sick person, and as in most mentally ill people, it is sometimes difficult to predict their future actions. Bush is not just a man with a few hang-ups, as most of us have, but a man who need psychoanalysis over a period of many years. I am equally distrubed about the fact that he never had any alcohol/drug abuse treatment, which I did not realize. We have turned this great Country over to this sick man. May God keep us safe through the next four years.
Posted by Judith at January 14, 2005 05:17 PMA few years ago I worried that being an alcoholic stunts you emotionally, so in effect Bush was only about 15 years old. I think I overestimated him in that respect, but perhaps he has worked his way up to 17, now, although a not very swift 17.
Posted by Avedon at January 14, 2005 05:18 PMI think Bush was stunted for the first time when his little sister died. He didn't even know she was sick. Kids take on responsibility for something like that until they're eight according to the article I read a while ago (and can't find a link for now, sorry) and he wasn't that old yet. His folks were distant and didn't discuss stuff with him. That's why he became such a hard partier in my view.
