‘This is called a ‘bunker mentality'’ ("the president has reached full self-pity mode")

Laura Bush: “No one suffers more than their President and I do”?

I'm glad to know his "bubble" isn't that insulating; he should have to feel the pain he's causing. But he's such a sociopath that instead of an epiphany, I fear the real bunkers will start to go up now.

he doesn't care one whit about the fate of gonzo, libby, cheney, bolton, condi, or even laura but when HIS neck on the line, he won't react well. who knows what he'll do to divert attention from himself?

a man's body. This report is not a surprise.

Heckuvajob Poppy and Babs!

I appreciate the fact that he will be out of office 1/20/2009.

I appreciate the fact that he will go down in history as the worst President we have ever had.

I appreciate the fact that the whole Bush family are a bunch of idiots.

I appreciate the fact that at least the Bush family are not Democrats.

he knew to leave well enough alone. Not so the dim son. Or maybe this is all according to plan. I find it really hard to believe that they could fuck up this badly unless it was on purpose. :shrug: :cry:

I loved this quote:

"You know, if Bush would stop his self-indulgent stubbornness for half a day, he could see plain as day that he has an opportunity to retain American control of the World Bank by easing Wolfie out. If he tries to keep Wolfie in that spot, American control could end.

I really wonder whether his failure to distinguish between necessary toughness and catastrophically shoot-ourselves-(America)-in-our-foot pigheadedness results from biological anomaly. His inability to harvest experience, and so to think and form successful judgements, is just so inexplicable".

is just so inexplicable."

Something has warped his brain - is it a wet brain syndrom, mad cow disease, a degenerative condition?

He was articulate in the 1990's, and then over time has gotten to the point that he is not the least bit coherent.

That's a classic description of someone suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome.

On the other hand, he could just be an asshole.

On edit: never mind, CatWoman beat me to it! :)

and never return - because of all the criticism. He got the first extended vacation out of that. And we got 9.11

There seem to be many parallels.....especially in the self-centered area.

Resign! That'll show'em. They won't have George W Bush to kick around anymore.

And bush is following that same type of psychotic break with propriety.

Come to think of it :freak: I don't think he ever had any concept of propriety.

:kick::kick::kick:

:rofl:

Minus the throne. And the cell is too luxurious for him. Needs more filth and roaches.

deserves its own thread.

The closest Bush ever comes to introspection is when he looks deeply, slowly into the bottle of Jack D before chugging a couple shots.

Compared Bush to the waning days of the Nixon years.

People are dying.

:evilgrin:

... after a brief bit of aw, it's just an election, we'll blunder through as usual - since then it's all been this bunker paralysis. He can't consider options for getting back on any kind of track, that would be surrendering to the Bolsheviks and betraying everything the Reich has achieved.

actually propped this guy up to get him elected in the first place, the WORST thing the republican party has done to this country is COMPLETELY bowed to this guys every wish and desire ...

There truly has not been a more disfunction of our government than the years from 2000 to 2006 ... ONE god darned veto and NO official congressional investigations ... There has NEVER been a president that needed a congress to keep him in line more than this guy, and this congress and this admin TOTALLY subjugated their responsibilities, and in the process let an incompetent and the criminally insane ideoluges around him run amuck ...

the only ones left are the extremely corrupted and the extremely insane.

George Bush Receives Purple Heart Award

Decorated Texas Vet Presents G-Dub With A Purple Heart

most of us are waiting if not expecting the day he does an out and out bizarro routine in front of the cameras. We'll watch him get carried off the stage by some marines and the screen will fade to black. The moment of silence will stretch like an eternity only to be broken by the loud cheers of all that wanted the moment. All of us that couldn't wait for it to happen. Then it's gonna get really strange in this country, how will the media handle it? Will they say the strain of office got to be unbearable, or that his drinking got the best of him? Who will mourn his fade from office? Tom Delay and friends?

Seriously. According to the DSM-IV, you need to hit five out of these nine criteria to be classified as someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Read 'em and tell me George W. Bush isn't a walking case study:

(1) has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

(2) is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

(3) believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)

(4) requires excessive admiration

(5) has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations

(6) is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends

(7) lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others

(8) is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her

(9) shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

The fun part is that eventually the NPD asshole eventually bumps up against reality, and when that happens the patient totally cracks up--depression, neurosis, all kinds of bad shit.

The disorder is untreatable; the best you can do is rebuild the patient's self-esteem well enough that he goes back to being an asshole and invariably leaves treatment.

I figure Bush has a couple of shrinks (and a couple of sociopaths in Karl Rove and Dick Cheney) doing just that down at his bullshit ranch a couple or more times a year. But as he wallows ever deeper in his own incompetence and evil, he'll respond less and less easily. I bet he'll spend all summer in Texas this year.

He's a fucking nutcase; he's a classic target for Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, but unfortunately that requires an honest Vice President.
