Bush is a raving idiot-something is wrong with him

[liveoaktx]

Watching him on Cspan doing his Renewal of Patriot Act bit. He can barely read and follow his script.

[cdb]

1. years of damage from booze and coke

not to mention the inherent stupidity that was there before substance abuse. Inbred, and proud of it.

[Warpy]

13. Expect it to get dramatically worse, dramatically quickly

He's been getting barely polite response to his social security scam at his controlled tent meetings, heavily screened crowds and all. The lack of enthusiasm is a rejection he's never had to face in his whole life as a rich boy life of the party. My guess is that with his false confidence destroyed, he's going to decompensate very quickly.

He's a sick man. He's got obvious neurological disease from substance abuse on top of a possible personality disorder. He probably started out at or near normal intelligence, but his upbringing failed to give him any reason for its exercise. As we all know from experience, we use it or lose it.

If we don't see an impeachment, we may well see a resignation.

[SlipperySlope]

2. If he is a raving idiot...

Then who really makes the decisions, writes the scripts, and pulls the strings?

[FreedomAngel82]

5. My guess

is Poppy Bush through Cheney and Karl Rove.

[dbt]

41. I second that and

Welcome to The DU!

[Jade Fox]

3. Something has been wrong with him for a long, long time....

and the press just does their Emperor's Cloths act as the did with Reagan,
who was obviously in the throes of Alzeimhers in his second term, and
everyone in the press just pretended it wasn't happening.

[liveoaktx]

9. It's disturbing to watch him speak because he's so clearly incompetent

[Jade Fox]

10. There's a whole theory.....

that people like his obvious incompetence. It makes him non-threatening
to them, and they don't feel he is superior to them. Pathetic.

Personally, I would like a President I perceived to be A WHOLE HELL OF A
LOT SMARTER than me.

Bush may be getting to be too much even for his fans, though. I overheard
a conservative co-worker today making a joke about his lack of intelligence.

[liveoaktx]

11. I am bugged by how many times in his speeches he

brings up how he's a C student and yet the president of the United States, especially when he contrasts it with people who have better degrees, etc.

So it's not Anyone can grow up to be president, but

Any MORON that's a dummy can grow up to be president, providing he has a lot of money and connections.

[Jade Fox]

12. Check out this....

from Buzzflash a couple of years ago. A bit long, but very good.

[kodi]

24. yeap its message is "education doesn't count." relatives do.

.

[Auntie Bush]

38. That would make a good bumper sticker.

ANY MORON WITH MONEY CAN GROW UP TO BE PRESIDENT

[Taxloss]

17. A lot of us felt that about Blair.

In 95-98 he struck a lot of us as brtually intelligent, very charismatic, and a wonderful speaker off the cuff. Then, slowly, the dream died as he disappeared into his little court.

[Jade Fox]

18. Sad.

It's amazing how these people who have chosen public life (and so
presumably care how history will treat them) make the choices that
history will crucify them for.

[Taxloss]

21. Yes, it was.

It was a crushing disillusionment for many of us. It goes a long way to explaining the splintered and unpredictable political landscape in Britain right now. Blair led us out of close to 20 years of corrupt RW rule and then he turns into ... that.

[lonestarnot]

19. Well don't count me in on that ignorant pile "a lot of us"...

[Taxloss]

22. Ignorant?

You're plainly not British, and you're enjoying the astonishing clarity of hindsight. Blair didn't just win a Labour victory - he smashed the Tory consensus, and ensured that public spending on health and education would be forever centre-stage and sacrosanct. He devolved power to Scotland and Wales and introduced the minumum wage. 1997-2001 was a dizzying period of near-irreversible social reform. For that matter, 1995-1997 was a heady period of party reorganisation - but then, with your remarkable prescient gifts, you were already shaking your head at our "ignorance", hoping that the corrupt Major government remained in power, and saying "Mark my words, in six years that man will be British PM and waging a crusade with an American President who hasn't been elected yet based on a terrorist attack that hasn't happened yet."

Your powers are remarkable.

[lonestarnot]

25. I've always thought that I have more sense in my shit than bushitler has

ever possessed...so don't include me as EVER having ANY admiration for the monkey look'n freak who continues to kill thousands of innocent people for his power lust.

[Taxloss]

27. I was talking about Blair, not Bush.

And I have no hesitation in saying I used to admire Blair greatly.

Used to.

[lonestarnot]

29. Oh pardon me.... I guess I got carried away with cspan ... My appologies.

[abluelady]

39. I'm With You

I want a President smarter than I am who can put a three sentence paragraph together and can pronounce two syllable words.

[Jade Fox]

42. If Bush could do those things....

his supporters would think he must have a PhD, their standards are so
low.

Welcome to DU, abluelady! :hi:

[CrispyQ]

40. Like Bill Maher said,

"Since when did we want Bubha down the street running the country?"

[Iris]

33. I simply cannot watch him.

He makes me sick.

[DemonFighterLives]

4. He is goofy, off the wall, full of shi*t

and his elevator doen't go all the way to the top.
Howard said so! Just trying to stir my own pot here.
:beer:

[HysteryDiagnosis]

6. Most powerful man in the world... does ya proud, huh? eom

[Tesla]

8. He's so smart... he uses Microsoft

[HysteryDiagnosis]

16. Even the paperclip seems surprised by the

choices.... a Tesla fan, you've got my vote....



http://www.teslascience.org/archive/archive.htm

[lonestarnot]

20. Tesla you gooood.

[LightningFlash]

7. Maybe he just figured out he was caught in a double lie....

He lied to go to war, made up a bunch of bogus crap to do it, amazingly "holy men" like Blackwell stole the election for him and he's now caught between a rock and a hard place.

We all need to flood the streets and hold a full public hearing on all of the abuses, including the one and only downing street minutes.......

[teryang]

14. The man is his fathers tool, a puppet of the handlers

Real power lies with the Pentagon and Cheney. The elder bush is losing his touch. This is why Rumsfeld openly contradicts the *resident, he is a joke and not in power. Never was. He is the front man for a fascist state run by corporations and led by energy and military lobbyists.

[chomskysright]

15. ADHD/ LD/ Narcissitic Personality disorder: read this:

Bush on the couch.

[libodem]

23. both he and pickles act drugged-up

look drugged-up, talk drugged-up, you know the legal kind like, Xanax. Some day we'll have all the 'dope' on what the Whitehouse physician Rx's 'em, just like with President Kennedy. Didn't come out until years later that he needed pain meds to function.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

26. Yes.

Something is wrong with him.

Clearly.
Irrefutably.
Conspicuously.
Patently.
Indubitably.
Decidedly.

[Tim4319]

28. He's a dry drunk!

[okasha]

31. Possibly a wet one. eom

[Lydia Leftcoast]

30. Tertiary syphilis?

:shrug:

[DemonFighterLives]

36. Hi Lydia

You picked up on a topic that I had a thread on. Dr. Morell: (cue spooky music)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=3804222

I was going to kick it up but the dang thing is locked. I don't know why, I guess it is forever archived. :tinfoilhat:

[Old_Fart]

32. No kidding!

Someone needs to lock the bum up and put him in a rubber room. Then they should melt down the key and use it to make handles for toilets or put it in the bowl so that people can take a piss or a shit on it. Sorry for the language but I am pissed off at the bullshit that is being fed to the American public. :grr:

[Pryderi]

34. I think he had a stroke, and didn't choke on a pretzel. I've thought so

for awhile.

[mitchum]

46. I agree

[Sapphire Blue]

35. Video: George Bush - The Ten Year Difference

George Bush - The Ten Year Difference (QuickTime Video): http://www.adbuzz.com/bushbuzz/BushTenYears.mov

Bushbuzz: http://www.adbuzz.com/bushbuzz.htm

[salin]

43. glad you linked this

I remembered the clips just not how to find them.

[Sapphire Blue]

47. Bush's ten year decline is clearly evident in this comparative video

Ronald Reagan's mental problems were also evident, but ignored... as if pointing out the obvious was too embarassing... let's not shame our president... the lovable 'grandfather' image :sarcasm:.

Well, it's happening again... but this time we have a decompensating psychopath in the WH... a psychopath who is responsible for the death of thousands. There have been numerous 'informal' diagnoses... just google terms such as 'George W. Bush' & 'mental illness', or go to your local library or bookstore... most of us are familiar with this info... but we, the citizens of the USA, are not permitted to know whether this pResident has been examined by a mental health professional, and if so, the results of that examination... yet he remains the 'commander-in-chief' of the world's only superpower... and continues on his sadistic, arrogant path of death and destruction... to the delight of the fanatic RW radical extremists... yeehaw!!!

[mopaul]

37. like michael jackson, he is HEAVILY medicated

[ThomWV]

44. He is afraid of Monday Morning

The shit is going to hit the fan Monday morning.

[Doctor_J]

45. Well, look who just caught up

to borrow from Jon Lovitz's character in League of Their Own.
