Presidential Psychosis
While President George W. Bush travels around the
country in a last-ditch effort to sell his Iraq war,
White House aides scramble frantically behind the
scenes to hide the dark mood of an increasingly angry
leader who unleashes obscenity-filled outbursts at
anyone who dares disagree with him.
“I’m not meeting with that goddamned bitch,” Bush
screamed at aides who suggested he meet with Cindy
Sheehan, the war-protesting mother whose son died in
Iraq. “She can go to hell as far as I’m concerned!”
Bush, administration aides confide, frequently
explodes into tirades over those who protest the war,
calling them “motherfucking traitors.” He reportedly
was so upset over Veterans of Foreign Wars members who
wore “bullshit protectors” over their ears during his
speech to their annual convention that he told aides
to “tell those VFW assholes that I’ll never speak to
them again is they can’t keep their members under
control.”
White House insiders say Bush is growing increasingly
bitter over mounting opposition to his war in Iraq.
Polls show a vast majority of Americans now believe
the war was a mistake and most doubt the President’s
honesty.
“Who gives a flying fuck what the polls say,” he
screamed at a recent strategy meeting. “I’m the
President and I’ll do whatever I goddamned please.
They don’t know shit.”
Bush, whiles setting up for a photo op for signing the
recent CAFTA bill, flipped an extended middle finger
at the camera before going live. Aides say the
President often “flips the bird” to show his
displeasure and tells aides who disagree with him to
“go to hell” or to “go fuck yourself.”
Bush’s behavior, according to prominent Washington
psychiatrist, Dr. Justin Frank, author of “Bush on the
Couch: Inside the Mind of the President,” is all too
typical of an alcohol-abusing bully who is ruled by
fear.
To see that fear emerges, Dr. Frank says, all one has
to do is confront the President. “To actually directly
confront him in a clear way, to bring him out, so you
would really see the bully, and you would also see the
fear,” he says.
Dr. Frank, in his book, speculates that Bush, an
alcoholic who brags that he gave up booze without help
from groups like Alcoholics Anonymous, may be drinking
again.
“Two questions that the press seems particularly
determined to ignore have hung silently in the air
since before Bush took office,” Dr. Frank says. “Is he
still drinking? And if not, is he impaired by all the
years he did spend drinking? Both questions need to be
addressed in any serious assessment of his
psychological state.”
Last year, Capitol Hill Blue learned the White House
physician prescribed anti-depressant drugs for the
President to control what aides called “violent mood
swings.” As Dr. Frank also notes: “In writing about
Bush's halting appearance in a press conference just
before the start of the Iraq War, Washington Post
media critic Tom Shales speculated that ‘the president
may have been ever so slightly medicated.’”
Dr. Frank explains Bush’s behavior as all-to-typical
of an alcoholic who is still in denial:
“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,” he says. “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.”

versteht er ganz und gar nichts!
