Is Bush Out of Control?
By DOUG THOMPSON

Buy beleaguered, overworked White House aides enough drinks and
they tell a sordid tale of an administration under siege, beset by
bitter staff infighting and led by a man whose mood swings suggest
paranoia bordering on schizophrenia.
They describe a President whose public persona masks an angry,
obscenity-spouting man who berates staff, unleashes tirades against those who disagree with him and ends meetings in the Oval Office with “get out of here!”
In fact, George W. Bush’s mood swings have become so drastic that
White House emails often contain “weather reports” to warn of the
President’s demeanor. “Calm seas” means Bush is calm while “tornado
alert” is a warning that he is pissed at the world.
Decreasing job approval ratings and increased criticism within his
own party drives the President’s paranoia even higher. Bush, in a
meeting with senior advisors, called Senator Majority Leader Bill
Frist a “god-damned traitor” for opposing him on stem-cell
research. “There’s real concern in the West Wing that the President
is losing it,” a high-level aide told me recently.
A year ago, this web site discovered the WhiteHouse physician
prescribed anti-depressants for Bush. The news came after revelations
that the President’s wide mood swings led some administration
staffers to doubt his sanity.
Although GOP loyalists dismissed the reports an anti-Bush
propaganda, the reports were later confirmed by prominent George
Washington University psychiatrist Dr. Justin Frank in his book Bush
on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President. Dr. Frank diagnosed
the President as a “paranoid megalomaniac” and “untreated alcoholic”
whose “lifelong streak of sadism, ranging from childhood pranks
(using firecrackers to explode frogs) to insulting journalists,
gloating over state executions and pumping his hand gleefully before
the bombing of Baghdad” showcase Bush’s instabilities.
“I was really very unsettled by him and I started watching
everything> he did and reading what he wrote and watching him on
videotape. I felt he was disturbed,” Dr. Frank said. “He fits the
profile of a former drinker whose alcoholism has been arrested but
not treated.”
Dr. Frank’s conclusions have been praised by other prominent
psychiatrists, including Dr. James Grotstein,Professor at UCLAMedical Center, and Dr. Irvin Yalom, MD, ProfessorEmeritus at Stanford University Medical School.
As a recovering alcoholic (sober 11 years, two months, nine days),
I know all too well the symptoms that Dr. Frank describes and,
after watching Bush for the past several years, I have to,
unfortunately, agree with him.
Conversations over the last few weeks with longtime friends who
work in the Bush White House confirm even more what Dr. Frank says
and others have suggested.
The President of the United States is out of control. How long can
the ship of state continue to sail with a madman at the helm?

If I recall correctly, Tom was kind enough to share some video footage on Steve's original SteveTheFolkie Group late last year that showed Georgie throwing one of his hissy fits.
As always, history DOES repeat itself!
WE have got to be the ones to take care...no one else will!

And a bit more borrowed from Jen:
.. as GW sucks his thumb, looks at mommy and asks "why are people
so
mean to me mommy Bush?" .....
WELL....
...Babs clutches at the string of pearls around her neck and says,
"Well Georgie, because you're a bad, BAD boy. I should have had a
headache that night back in October 1945. All the residents of the
Blue States would agree with me. Why did I ever let your father give
me those aspirins?"
;-)
The culprits shall go unnamed for now...THEY know who they are!
