Thread: Is Bush Nuts ?

Is The President Nuts?

"Is The 'President' Nuts?" asks Carol Wolman, M.D. "Many people, inside and especially outside this country, believe that the American president is nuts, and is taking the world on a suicidal path."

A board-certified psychiatrist in practice for 30 years, Dr. Wolman feels compelled to understand the "psychopathology" of man "under tremendous pressure from both his family/junta, and from the world at large." Dr. Wolman wonders if GW is suffering from Antisocial Personality Disorder, as described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Fourth Edition:
"There is a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others:
1) failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest;
2) deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure;
3) reckless disregard for safety of self or others;
4) lack of remorse by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated or stolen from others."

Dry Drunk
GW Bush is highly regarded for "kicking" the twin demons of cocaine and alcohol addiction. If he is still off both wagons and there is no proof that isn't – such a triumph, encouraged and aided by his wife, is commendable. When probing the mysteries of GW's brain chemistry, a key point to ponder is that damage done to brain cells from drug abuse is permanent and irreversible.

Quaker and university professor Katherine van Wormer co-authored the definitive, 2002, Addiction Treatment. This expert writes that "George W. Bush manifests all the classic patterns of what alcoholics in recovery call 'the dry drunk'. His behavior is consistent with being brought on by years of heavy drinking and possible cocaine use."

"Dry drunk," explains the professor, "is a slang term used by members and supporters of Alcoholics Anonymous and substance abuse counselors to describe the recovering alcoholic who is no longer drinking - one who is dry, but whose thinking is clouded."

Such an individual is 'dry' but not truly sober. Such individuals tend to go to overboard. A good example of Bush' "polarized thinking" is his call for "crusades" based on "infinite justice" for "evil-doers" comprising an "axis of evil".

Bush's "obsessive repetition" also remind this professor, "of many of the recovering alcoholics/addicts I had treated." Van Wormer worriers, "His power, in fact, is such that if he collapses into paranoia, a large part of the world will collapse with him."

Paranoia? Impatience? Rigid judgmental outlook? Grandiose behavior? Childish behavior? Irresponsible behavior? Irrational rationalization? Projection? Overreaction? these are all "dry drunk" traits.

Brain Damage
According to Van Wormer, "scientists can now observe changes that occur in the brain as a result of heavy alcohol and other drug abuse. Some of these changes may be permanent."

Van Wormer characterizes this damage as "barely noticeable but meaningful." Researchers have found that brain chemistry irregularities caused by long bouts of drinking or drug abuse cause "messages in one part of the brain to become stuck there. This leads to maddening repetition of thoughts."

One of these powerful "stuck" thoughts, says van Wormer, is that "President Bush seems unduly focused upon getting revenge on Saddam Hussein ('He tried to kill my Dad'), leading the country and the world into war, accordingly."

So should someone with brain damage and a low IQ be in charge of the world's biggest war machine ?

Rhetorical question obviously.

Booze and drugs don't cause any permanent damage.
This is all wrong.
It must be an inherited malfunction or something he's suffering from.

In reality, is Bush actually in charge ?

IMO Just wait for the next one. Then you will think GWB was a nice man.

And she is on her way!

oprha For President

...which ranks alongside the "hate-Michael-Moore", "Kerry-is-a-commie" and "Chomsky-is-a-hypocrite" syndromes.

Wrong. They do actually. Bush being a dry drunk or still a drunk is hardly news. He is back on the bottle anyway. Can't blame him. He is weak.

In Bill Clinton's case it's unforntunate that a two term President can't run again. He left the US in good shape with a budget surplus and a lot of goodwill around the world. America needs someone of Clinton's caliber to sort out the present mess.

Maybe he will be back in 2008 !!!

In contrast we are prevented from having the current monkey run again, so, maybe all is not lost.

^Makes we wonder if mad queers complain when they are forced to wear 'straight jackets'?

Difference being that one can proove those people are hypocrites.

All three of those people have invested in the Military Industrial Complex ... Raytheon, Boeing, HALLIBURTON and others ... they bitch about tax credits on the rich and then stash their money away in off shore accounts and trusts to avoid paying taxes ... they two faced liars and what you see isn't what you get.

Michael Moore fails to tell you about his Halliburton stock or that he avoids paying union wages by filming in Canada ... or that he doesn't hire minorities to work for him. Remember when he made that guy look bad cause he closed down the Payday candy bar company and moved the factory to Mexico ... Moore does the same things. How about environmental issues ? Moore's public persona indicates he's big on the environment but his private affairs show otherwise. Just ggole all the environmental violations he's had levied against him over the years with his property in Michigan.

Chomsky has made MILLIONS off the Military Industrial Complex ... but it's OK for him to accept checks from the Pentagon ... but don't you do it stroller ! Bad ... bad ... bad. Chomsky's idea don't work and he knows it ... he's nothing but a closet capitalists EXPLOITING the fools who absorb the garbage he writes in his books.

Were you in that movie "Once Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest ? Something about your avatar reminded me of that movie.

It's just some random bloke I found on the internet. Thought it was a bit disturbing and funny when I animated it.

You should make up a TEFLER resume and post it on ajarn with that photo

I saw what looked like tartan and figured you were attending one of those Tacoma festivals where they toss the telephone poll.
