2. Oh yeah, she has most likely the Narcissistic Personality Disorder

all right. And how did this get to "0" recs, with my one? Who'd unrec this description, a version of which has been on my mind most of the day.

3. Many of us made the argument that this disorder applied to GW Bush.

I'm starting to wonder if this description applies to every Republican, period.

4. I think we were right both times. I'm not sure it applies to every
