2. You'd have to ask them.

Even if they could, what do you think the chances are of a White House staffer going on record, by name?

[Done]

3. There's enough in w's public behavior to suggest he has a problem.

Besides, the claim is that "Jesus" changed w's heart. If this is true, I would hate to see how evil he was before he got "saved".

7. The 3rd debate sealed it for me. He was HIGHLY medicated on something.

10. TWO resources on this:

1). KGO radio host Bernie Ward. UNFORTUNATELY, KGO sent a "cease and desist" order to Ben Burch at White Rose Society, so Bernie's shows are no longer archived there. Ben had permission from Bernie, but KGO's attorneys stepped in and demanded that the shows be removed.

ANYWAY...Bernie did an EXCELLENT show on Bush being a "dry drunk"...all of the underlying rage and pain that causes him to be a bully...if he TRULY "quit" drinking (and that's a matter for debate), the UNDERLYING CAUSES were never treated.

Bernie's talked about this several times. I'm sure that folks could call into his show on just about any night and ask "What is your theory on Bush being a dry drunk" and he'd run it down for you.

2). "Bush On The Couch"...EXCELLENT book, and the author is quoted in the Capitol Hill Blue article:

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.”

6. words are cheap- living the walk can cost your life- ask MLKjr-

...
the 'buzz words' get the votes. And it is easier in the short run to buy the labeled box, rather than examine the contents-

for too many people.

But oh the cost. oh the cost.

8. Read "Bush on The Couch" by Justin A. Frank

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0060736704/103-3355483-1754222?v=glance

The Bush smear machine a.k.a. MSM did a number on the book and author when it came out last year... I am reading it now. it is EXCELLENT, I recommend it highly. The author, Justin Frank, is a well-respected Washington, D.C.–based psychoanalyst and professor of psychiatry and the book attempts to understand what goes on in the... uh, "mind" of our fearless misleader.

Here are excerpts from the book descriptions on Amazon:

"He finds that Bush, psychically scarred by an absentee father and a cold, authoritarian mother, has developed a galloping case of megalomania, characterized by a Manichaean worldview, delusions of persecution and omnipotence and an "anal/sadistic" indifference to others’ pain, with removal from office the only "treatment option." The author’s exegesis of Bush’s personality traits-the drinking problem, the bellicose rhetoric, the verbal flailings and misstatements of fact, the religiosity and exercise routines, the hints of dyslexia and hyperactivity, the youthful cruelty to animals and schoolmates, the smirk-paints an intriguing, if exaggerated and contemptuous, portrait of a possibly troubled public figure."

more....

"Among the other subjects Frank explores:

Bush's false sense of omnipotence, instilled within him during childhood and emboldened by his deep investment in fundamentalist religion

The president's history of untreated alcohol abuse, and the questions it raises about denial, impairment, and the enabling streak in our culture

The growing anecdotal evidence that Bush may suffer from dyslexia, ADHD, and other thought disorders

His comfort living outside the law, defying international law in his presidency as boldly as he once defied DUI statutes and military reporting requirements

His love-hate relationship with his father, and how it triggered a complex and dangerous mix of feelings including yearning, rivalry, anger, and sadism

Bush's rigid and simplistic thought patterns, paranoia, and megalomania -- and how they have driven him to invent adversaries so that he can destroy them
At once a compelling portrait of George W. Bush and a damning indictment of his policies, Bush on the Couch sheds startling new light on an administration whose record of violence and cruelty seems increasingly dependent on the unstable psyche of the man at its center. Insightful and accessible, courageous and controversial, Bush on the Couch tackles the question no one seems willing to ask: Is our president psychologically fit to run the country?"

11. One of my FAVORITE Bush books, PERIOD.

:toast:

12. I really want this book to make a comeback

It was relevant to the enlightened minority when it was published in 2004, but now that the tide of support for the war and the Chimp is turning, I see this book being appreciated and understood by a much wider audience, and having a greater impact.

Any ideas on how this book can be reintroduced to the public? It is #4,427 in sales on Amazon- pathetic. I would love to Keith Olberman or John Stewart to start talking about it.

13. One way would be to mention it on talk radio...

I've called in to Bernie Ward and Guy James in the past and have mentioned it. As you know, there was a flood of "Bush Books" leading up to the election, and as great as THIS one is, things get lost in the shuffle.

The book really answers a lot of questions that keep getting asked again and again...

My personal way of promoting the book is to do what I've done here...quote an excerpt when it's relevant, and let the folks reading the post decide for themselves.

9. Although many people considered the style heavy handed

and crude, I loved the way Bachman played lead in 'Takin Care of Business' and 'You Ain't Seen Nothin Yet'.
