Here is something that I find interesting. See http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_4704.shtml

The carefully-crafted image of George W. Bush as a bold, decisive leader is cracking under the weight of new revelations that the erratic President is indecisive, moody, paranoid and delusional.
“More and more this brings back memories of the Nixon White House,” says retired political science professor George Harleigh, who worked for President Nixon during the second presidential term that ended in resignation under fire. “I haven’t heard any reports of President Bush wondering the halls talking to portraits of dead Presidents but what I have been told is disturbing.” ....

Although supporters of President Bush dismissed the reports as “fantasies from anonymous sources,” a new book by Dr. Justin Frank, director of psychiatry at George Washington University, raises many similar questions about the President’s mental stability.

"George W. Bush is a case study in contradiction," Dr. Frank writes in Bush On The Couch: Inside the Mind of the President. "Bush is an untreated ex-alcoholic with paranoid and megalomaniac tendencies."

In addition, a new film by documentary filmmaker, and frequent Bush critic, Michael Moore shows the President indecisive and clearly befuddled when he learned about the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. ...

Friedman also says the films “most indelible moment” comes when Bush, speaking to a group of school kids in Florida, is first informed of the 9/11 attacks.

“Instead of jumping up and leaving, he instead sat in front of the class, with an unfortunate look of confusion, for nearly 11 minutes,” Friedman says. “Moore obtained the footage from a teacher at the school who videotaped the morning program. There Bush sits, with no access to his advisers, while New York is being viciously attacked. I guarantee you that no one who sees this film forgets this episode.” ....

Dr. Carolyn Williams, a psychoanalyst who specializes in paranoid personalities, is a registered Republican and agrees with most of Dr. Frank’s conclusions.

“I find the bulk of his analysis credible,” she said in an interview. “President Bush grew up dealing with an absent but demanding father, a tough mother and an overachieving brother. All left indelible impressions on him along with a desire to prove himself at all cost because he feels surrounded by disapproval. He behavior suggests a classic paranoid personality. Additionally, his stated belief that certain actions are 'God's Will' are symptomatic of delusional behavior.”
 
I'm gonna have fun reading this thread for the next couple
of days. Honestly, it doesn't take an expert to diagnose a
dry drunk.
 
I hardly consider Capitol Hill Blue or Michael Moore experts on anything.

As far as the psychiatric expert quoted, well, if you pay someone enough, they say whatever you want them to say.

Welcome to election year 2004. More & more rhetoric each time I turn to the DIS. How I miss the old days!
 

I seem to remember the entire nation being "confused and befuddled" the first few minutes of the 9/11 attacks.

I don't think ANYONE could have reacted in a way that everyone would find acceptable.

Guess I'm not a good republican or democrate - I think they are all human and ALL flawed.;)
 
Does it matter to the liberals where the trash they want to believe comes from? Not really, but it's ok, keep looking, there are many other sites out that have an agenda and will say anything (without facts to back a word up) to make a case they wish to have made.

Search Roger Friedman too and see what this man had to say about the Passion of the Christ. Quite amusing fellow!

I think this is the same article we made fun of last week.
 
Am I having de ja vu or was this all hashed out 2-3 times already in the last week or two?

I think we have all made ourselves clear here on who supports Bush and who doesn't.
