Is Bush still using Cocaine?
The erratic behavior, the malapropisms, the way he talks about other world leaders as if they were beneath him?

And most telling: No matter what the hell happens, regardless of how disastrous, he goes beyond saying everything's okay and insists it's great news.

:shrug:

1. I think he has the same relationship to himself that the main
character in "Bright Lights, Big City" did.

That pic is funny, he's snorting Bolivian Marching Powder with a Pixie Stick.

But it also might just mean that he's still an asshole.

14. Things Go Better With Coke!
Some time ago Bill Cosby quipped that a person told him that using cocaine enhances your personality. Cosby replied, "oh yea, but what if your an asshole"?!
Now that explains the Bu$h*t charisma!

4. He is an addict - doesn't matter what he is on
he still believes that the US is THE SUPER-POWER. He seems to be unaware that we are in serious debt to a couple of nations that could bring us to our knees in a day or two. How does our dollar compare to the Euro?

He can't ATTACK anyone or DEFEND us anymore - we are stretched to thin. Yet, I watch his arrogant ass on TV - and that of his mouthpiece Condaleeeeza - threatening everyone. GET REAL!!!!

5. No, that's just Brain damage from all the Drinkin'
The guy who wrote "Bush on the Couch" went into all that, and Fidel Castro, spoke at length an but it (referring to the book). :evilgrin:

<http://english.pravda.ru/world/20/91/368/13573_Castro.html>

"...Former drinkers who abstain without the benefit of the AA program are often referred to as "dry drunks"...But even without labelling Bush as such, it's hard to ignore the many troubling elements of his character among the traits that the recovery literature associates with the condition, including grandiosity, judgmentalism, intolerance, detachment, denial of responsibility, a tendency toward over-reaction and an aversion to introspection." (p. 41)...

"...The pattern of blame and denial, which recovering alcoholics work so hard to break, seems to be ingrained in the alcoholic personality; it's rarely limited to his or her drinking. The habit of placing blame and denying responsibility is so prevalent in George W. Bush's personal history that it is apparently triggered by even the mildest threat..."

"...Along with rigid routines go rigid thought processes -another hallmark of the Bush presidency. We see it in the stubborn, almost obsessive way in which he holds on to ideas and plans after they have been discredited, from his image of himself as a "uniter, not a divider" to his conviction that Iraq held weapons of mass destruction (or, in absence of such weapons, that somehow "America did the right thing in Iraq" nevertheless)..."

Much more at link, it was an hour long speech.:evilgrin:

24. No and.....Castro?
I have always thought it was problems from his past drinking. This absurd notion of quoting Fidel Castro to explain Bush is crazy. You quoted Fidel as saying, about Bush, "...including grandiosity, judgmentalism, intolerance, detachment, denial of responsibility, a tendency toward over-reaction and an aversion to introspection." God, how long have you been watching Castro? Did he not just nail himself in that description? Castro is a mental case that personifies all of the above. We can do better that that - and find better critics of our president.

27. Do you always criticize what you don't understand?
In my post, I said Castro was referring and READING from the book "Bush on the Couch." He was referring to to the book to explain GWB's puzzling behavior to his people.

I quoted only small parts of the Hour long speech, then put the link to the article for folks to read these quotes in context, as I'm sure, MOST did. :grr:

And, as far as Castro goes, it is understandable your feelings about him, but I suggest you learn more about Cuba and how he came to power. Then ask yourself, why would Republicans, and Big Corporate Capitalist be so critical of his Socialist Government. What you've been taught about Castro over the years by the Corporate Media and the U.S. Government, are almost all lies.:think: They want their Casinos and Sugar Plantations back.

By now you are probably saying, "What good did he do for Cuba?" Let's see, how about Free Health Care for ALL of Cuba's Children v. 11 Million Children in the U.S., living in Poverty and unable to afford basic health_care, or a 90+% literacy rate in Cuba vs. something like 65%-70% in the U.S.

Look it up, read something other than the Wall Street Journal and wake up, the sooner you learn that you've been (and are being) lied to, all these years by the MSM, the longer you'll last here before you get banned for causing trouble. :grr:

28. YOU are the one who has been hoodwinked
The far left in this country seems to believe that free health care and good schools make a wonderful country. What about Castro's brutal repression of dissidents? What about Castro's outlawing all political opposition? You ask ME to learn about Castro? One question: Why can an individual not leave Cuba whenever he or she wants to? I don't care how wonderful the health care is, the public education is, when you are not free to leave a country - you are enslaved. Don't buy the propaganda? I return that phrase to you.

6. that's classic alcoholism in my view
I don't doubt that he is also supplied with the finest medical grade drugs of his and his doctor's choosing but a lot of what you describe is caused by drink.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

9. Alcoholism
In my family, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting an alcoholic. I know one when I see one, and no one can convince me that he is no longer active. I think the reason that he was unable to give a statement for three days when the tsunami hit was because he was on a bender down there on the pig farm.

21. I'm pretty sure that's what all these constant vacations are all about
I think his handlers tell him if he can just hold it together for a couple of weeks, he can have his next "long weekend". Unfortunately for him, shit often happens in the midst of these weekends, as shit is won't to do.

I think this also explains the injuries and fall-down accidents he seems to chronically have while on "vacation".

Edited on Sat Feb-12-05 08:08 PM by shadowknows69
as someone who has done significant <ahem> scientific experimentation with both alcohol and happy dancing foot powder I'd have to say the man shows sign of definite pollution.

22. Cocaine causes permanent damage to the brain. Even though he
may not be using now, his mind is fucked up.


http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/3503931.stm


Cocaine damages the brain - there is no doubt about it.

"I would not recommend anyone takes cocaine if they were doing a lot of study or holding down a high level job that requires a lot of thinking."

Prof Grant gave a stark warning to anyone contemplating taking the drug.

"We do not know how possible it is to reverse the damage of cocaine use but abuse seems to have long term effects," he said.

30. You've posed an interesting theory....
The only problem is it would be way too difficult to pull off.

There is one thing that is infinitely more available and irresistable to this jerk off.

BOOZE
