bush's rapidly deteriorating mental state is worsening & it shows

yesterday i caught a clip of bush taking questions after visiting with wounded soldiers. he was first off extremely defensive and angry at the unpleasant questions about the war and it's popularity. he was unable to hide his monstrous rage and his face screwed up into a hateful grimace that i hadn't seen him make before, and it truly frightened me.

his face turned beet red, his brow furrowed up like the grinch, and he got this look of lunacy and madness and desperation that i've never seen on a sane person.

we are used to his bizarre facial tics and new ones come and go all the time, but yesterday i saw something in his face and demeanor that sent a real chill down my spine.

we are truly, truly fucked.

: (

He drives me nuts when he explain something. My sixth grade teacher used to give me a D when I did it that way. He always explains things by the thing it is. This is a tree because it is a tree. What does he mean?

He yizz what he yizz and that's all what he yizz! *toot toot!* :-)

state. Sovereign State -- understand?"

There he is boys and girls...the leader of the free world.

I saw some of that, but only a small snippet on CNN. And that's more than the nightly news will show. CSPAN seems to be the only place that will show the unvarnished king.

Maybe by not airing the mad ravings and the visible mental divergence,
they hope to hide his mental illness handicap.

That's what we need in a President.

I could hire any old actor for that. As long as he reads the memos,
then the wheelchair is working. New implants allow the president's
facial features to be controlled by a remote computer. This is part of
the problem, as the software's on the blink. And since the software is
proprietary, who KNOWS what kind of bugs, trap doors and nightmares are
programmed in to that ball of spaghetti.!

;-) Maybe he should use a wheelchair. Then we'd be comforted
to know his ailments were merely physical.

actually HIRE an actor for that... uh, B-Movie Ronald Reagan?

I think they did.

By the end, he was looking pretty "soviet", like how every
USSR leader looked like they were already dead encased in glass
even before death. Perhaps i should have not taken the TV
screen glass so seriously! ;-)

Some of those old dead soviet leaders i swear, they was rolling
andropov, or breshnev or one of em around on a trolly, like
prop up the dead guy for a photo op. Perhaps bush's decay will
be fast, and by the end, barney will have the upper hand.

orchestration. Or otherwise stated-- his splendid deception. Not being photographed in his wheelchair was a political move because he didn't think (probably correctly) that the public would trust a president who had to use a wheelchair. As I see people still use the word "handicap" and make light of the whole thing and compare it to Bush unraveling, that is still probably the case.
Bush is filled with rage. As a narcissist, he cannot tolerate criticism. Everytime there is a threat that his presidency will implode, he begins to do so himself. It will be interesting to see how he rides this out. This may be his undoing.

in the midst of his mania.

On the history channel, I saw a documentary on Hitler--they had footage of him at the Olympics where he was rocking back and forth, shaking and visually shaking in his seat. He was obviously quite mentally disturbed, but that side of him was rarely (if ever) shown.

I posted a comment about how he's got that same look on his face that had during the first week of Katrina. Like he knows another MIHOP is coming and he can hardly wait.

i'm no body language expert but insanity just shows on the man's face.

I see it all the time.

MIHOP = Made it happen on purpose

Originally referring to the events of 9/11 which, of course, changed everything (except the Constitution, but ole George hasn't quite got a handle on that little detail).

Someone already answered you.

What I see before me is a sloppily-dressed, badly-made-up, extremely hungover, confused little man who's regressed to the mental age of about seven who doesn't know who he is, where he is or why he's there. The scary part of it all is that he is SUPPOSED to be the leader of the free world.

Come on, people. At least make it LOOK like this man gets paid $400,000 a year.

I wonder why he went to a hospital, of all places. Look, there's something really wrong with him. I don't know if it's a mental condition, that he's an alcoholic, that he's just in over his head and can't take the stress, whatever. But he's really screwed up, and I don't just mean he's an asshole or a tyrant. There are people who work in hospitals who are trained to see shit like this, and one of them is bound to notice that Bush just ain't right. Why, unless his handlers really WANT to get rid of him, would they let him go anywhere near real clinicians? (I know his physicals keep coming back A-OK. You think they wouldn't?)

Oh yeah: DU medical people, look at the left side of his nose just a little below his eye. Does that weird little mark on it look like something's physically wrong with him, maybe some kind of skin cancer or precancer--he's had precancerous lesions removed while he's been in office--or did he just get slapped in the face by a piece of the brush he keeps flying back to Crawford on my dime to clear?

There was a photo op of him giving sound bites in front of hospital personel, and the looks on their faces seemed to indicate either extreme disaproval, the realization that he is not mentally well, or a combination of both.

Yeah, I noticed the mark on his nose yesterday. I thought perhaps it was another scratch to match the one on his forhead.

What do you see?

I see fresh marks on his forehead, the remants of the pretzel mark, white pale pasty skin, like someone who spends all their time out of the sun. A deer in the headlights look, confusion, doubt, not the look of someone who is confident in themselves.

I think we may be in big trouble if someone doesn't do something quick, if ever someone needed removed this is the poster for it.

he saw it on a deer's face once.

the faded vinyl off a sun soaked 55 Chevy.

that if GW has picked up again then he is a worse drunk today then he was when he was drinking. Alcoholics can not stop drinking, wait a few years then go back at it thinking they will start off where they left off is wrong. Alcoholism continues to progress even if your not drinking, so where shrub is now is where he would have been if he had drank during his dry spell. Another words he is showing signs of late stage alcoholism. Which explains his grandiose behaviors.

either.... I know several people who were severe coke heads in their younger years... I know they are all clean now, but they are the most paranoid unreasonable people you would ever want to meet. It's like it screws with the wiring of your brain or something, so even after they quit their "head" is still all messed up. Between the coke and the booze, I would bet * has a fried brain.

the thinking and the habits remain the same as they were when using.

And resign, dammit!!!

Someone get me a drink, fast !!!! <bg>

daily to crimes and malfeasance....they will go down in history as abject failures

Shrivelling red face, halting speech, guarded body
language. The man looks like he's imploding.

seriously, it's written all over his face, he leaned way forward and made the most terrible grin i've ever seen him make. it made me shudder.

and thought his face was animated by a dark force.

I saw it happen during the first "innaugural" just as he came out of the building looking weak and confused and scared. Then he paused for a moment, was apparently Overshadowed, and proceeded to the podium a very different entity.

The ugly rest is - alas - our history.

Don't want no stinkin occult Skull & Boner krypto ritualist as head of my nation.

without choking on the phrase... Looks to me like a sure sign he has fallen off of the wagon--or that he has an innate resistance to uttering that phrase.

What he did was outside the confines of the law.

I can't wait until he's interviewed about the spying and he curls his hands up into little fists and stomps his little cowboy-booted feet and says, "I'm trying to per-teck ya, dammit, dammit, dammit!" Then runs crying from the room, crashes into a gurney, and somersaults head over heels in the corridor.

:rofl:

I'm not questioning your analysis, * seems that way to me too. But I'm not a specialist in this area, and so I'm just wondering if we have any here who are professionals in evaluating mental states who would like to weigh in on *. I realize that that is not easy to do based on TV clips (remember Frist's misdiagnosis of Terri Schiavo?), but if any mental health professionals would like to comment on * I'd be interested to hear your opinions.

written by a psychiatrist, Justin Frank.

"Bush Administration policies are not only a "great catastrophe" but the products of a disturbed mind, according to this provocative blend of psychological case-study and partisan polemic. Psychoanalyst Frank sifts through family memoirs, the writings of critics like Al Franken and David Corn and the public record of Bush’s personal idiosyncrasies for clues to the President’s character, interpreting the evidence in the rigidly Freudian framework of child psychoanalyst Melanie Klein. He finds that Bush, psychically scarred by an absentee father and a cold, authoritarian mother, has developed a galloping case of megalomania, characterized by a Manichaean worldview, delusions of persecution and omnipotence and an "anal/sadistic" indifference to others’ pain, with removal from office the only "treatment option." The author’s exegesis of Bush’s personality traits-the drinking problem, the bellicose rhetoric, the verbal flailings and misstatements of fact, the religiosity and exercise routines, the hints of dyslexia and hyperactivity, the youthful cruelty to animals and schoolmates, the smirk-paints an intriguing, if exaggerated and contemptuous, portrait of a possibly troubled public figure. But Frank’s attempts to translate psychoanalysis into political analysis are unconvincing. Indeed, if Bush’s reneging on campaign promises is a form of clinical "sadism," and his budget deficits an "unconscious attack on his own parents," then Karl Rove, the Cabinet, and both houses of Congress belong in group therapy with him.

I do have a BS in Psycholgy, have studied psychiatry and work in the mental health field.

From what I saw of the video in post #32 Bush was highly defensive and appeared to be angry that his "right" to do what he had done had been questioned. There were also signs of paranoia. My unofficial diagnosis would be Megalomania.

meg·a·lo·ma·ni·a n.
1. A psychopathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of wealth, power, or omnipotence.
2. An obsession with grandiose or extravagant things or actions.

I really do avoid watching His Royal Evilness.. so I haven't been tracking his personal devolvement lately.

frightening as always

:rofl:



P.S. so sorry, the cynical load I am made me misread that one word as DEVELOPMENT :spray:

He looked AWFUL. Beady litle eyes, apelike weirdly furrowed brow, smirky/droopy mouth, silly inspid expression. Plus, of course, what he was saying (delivered as if addressing 6-year-olds, as usual) made no sense at all.

What a loser he is. President Cheney should get a new puppet - this one's all worn out.

at an awkward body angle, made him look like he was carrying a load in his Underoos. All the while talking down to us as if we believe his boogey man shit..."If Al Qaeda calls you I wanna know why".

I know it will never happen but this year's SOTU address should be the one where Dems walk out in defiance of Dear Leader. Maybe then the true monster inside would be revealed.

Did you notice he was leaning to his left a little and his right leg was shaking??

Aha! Ye Olde Wobble Foot.

Yesiree, my olde Pappy always used to say the Old Wobble Foot (in syncopation with the wig wag of a coke jaw) is a sure-fire indication of the olde DTs (Delirium Tremens).

A whole lotta shakin goin on.

I noticed it right when he started to defend the spying, he pauses, gets an odd facial expression stumbles over some words and then leans and taps his foot while speaking. It's weird.

Creepy, crawly, slimy, icky...I wonder what the medical staff is thinking. MKJ

Why he smiles when he refers to that day and what happend........it's like he baskes in the turmoil that he allowed to unfold. He thinks his whole first 4 years is funny, he just is letting it show more often now.

. . . "I got away with it, didn't I." or something to that effect.

trifecta".

Asshole.

booze and drugs long enough to have DT's. Or do you have DT's during the later stages of alcoholism regardless of whether you have alcohol in your system? I admit, I don't know all that much about this.

But he definitely doesn't look normal. He's does look to implode soon. Either that or his handlers will up the dosage of whatever it is they have him on.

to see a clip. Does anyone have a link to *'s latest performance?

I try to avoid looking most of the time since it makes me either

:grr: :nuke:

or

:puke: :puke:

:-)

...as I watched the tics and head movements of these inmates,and observed their speech patterns,I saw a lot of similarity.

Old footage shows Hitlers left hand trembling a lot toward the end(1945). started in 1930's and got progressively worse. After refering to Dr Morells Medical Log(Hitlers Personal Physician) it becomes clear Hitler was suffering from advanced syphilis and was addicted to Meth/Opiates/etc. The man was a junkie, and, as we all know, a madman.

With Bush...there seem to be signs of something terribly wrong. In due time we will learn of what the hell is bugging his brain as he clearly indicates with his absurd behavior...he is sick with something....or perhaps, damaged goods from substance abuse....

The Presidential Filter needs upgrading and/or, an Overhaul. There is something we can do to start...vote blue, get the cancer outta there.....

The smartest army in the world has a Dufus to lead it...

its getting to him

And that worries me. Just what will be the magnitude of the damage and chaos he will have created before Congress decides it's time to do something about this individual who obviously has enormous mental health issues.

Not only will we have to somehow repair the damage he created but we will also have to deal with the sympathy for him that was infused by the apolitical public who never had a clue as to what an inept and devious bastard this clown was. Consequently, they might just vote rethug all over again.

start to see this and do something

The picture was taken through the glass as was riding in his limo and he looked very angry and mean, downright ugly, probably a reaction to the protestors.
It was a very early warning, which he has more than fulfilled with his actions since then.

And it isn't only W.

Half the jobs in this country require a urine test to get hired. If you operate any kind of vehicle or heavy equipment you have to face random drug tests on the job. Why should the POTUS be exempt? His is the job where potential drug use has the most far-reachiing consequences.

BTW, weren't the Repugs the ones who were so gung-ho about random drug testing? It all got started under Reagan. I guess they made sure it never applied to people doing "the people's work", just the working people.

Next press conference: "Mr. 'President'**, would you pass a urine test right now?"

If the answer were yes, all he'd have to do is say so. Of course he'd actually give some twisted explanation why he didn't have to answer, that wasn't a "respectful" question, yadayadayada....

since he is constantly PISSING on the constitution.
