Bush Using Drugs to Control Depression, Erratic Behavior

[Must_B_Free]

"It’s a double-edged sword,” says one aide. “We can’t have him flying off the handle at the slightest provocation but we also need a President who is alert mentally.”

Angry Bush walked away from reporter's questions.
Tubb prescribed the anti-depressants after a clearly-upset Bush stormed off stage on July 8, refusing to answer reporters' questions about his relationship with indicted Enron executive Kenneth J. Lay.

“Keep those motherfuckers away from me,” he screamed at an aide backstage. “If you can’t, I’ll find someone who can.”

For the 100th post on this subject/source today!!!! No offense, but jeeze, a lot of posts with the same link to the same source today.

When a source other than Capitol Blue reports this stuff, we will jump in with real comments. Til then it seems questionable.

5. That item is not ringing true, to me. I can believe he is short tempered--

but I can not believe that information would be let out of the WH. They would kill the person that said that. I think we will need more on this before we can say it is really true.

9. From *Worse than Watergate* -Dean p 26

*His defiance has only raised more questions. Was he just a party guy until he turned forty or does he have a serious problem with alcohol? What about the missing time during his military record- was Bush AWOL? Has he truly replaced abusive substances with healthy running, making endorphins his new drug of choice? And what about the rumors that Prozac is for Bush what Dilantin was for Nixon? Or the rumors that he has been nipping a bit? Does alcohol remove inhibitions and show the real, albeit darker, inner self (who had no problem calling a Wall Street Journal columnist, accompanied by his wife and young child, a "fucking son of a bitch"?)*
