How long before Bush's sanity is openly questioned?

[grytpype]

You've all seen Josh Marshall's observation in http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/

And with each passing day it seems his public statements show not so much a pattern of lies as evidence that when he's not doing press availabilities he's living on some other planet. Misstatements are becoming so par for the course that his public pronouncements now seem more and more like a verbal equivalent of what the immortal David St. Hubbins once called a "a free-form jazz exploration" in which the individual words aren't supposed to distract us from the larger truth the president is trying to convey.

He really sounds and appears to be dissociated and disoriented. How long before the mainstream media picks up on this and starts openly questioning his sanity?

Stay tuned...

Bush Is Mad! Invoke the 25th Amendment

3. |Are they crazy? put Cheney in Bush's place?!~(^) they're crazy

Bush and Cheney need to be removed.

Have the cabinet and Cheney vote to remove Bush?
They'd love it.

No . I t has to be impeachment. First dick and then
dimwit

7. Here's some more info on the 25th Amendment:

Relevant section of Amendment XXV:

Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

I see nothing about this in Title 3, USC, which deals with the office of the President. So Cheney + majority of the cabinet = The Littlest King is dethroned mightily.

8. That means that

Bush would have to judged insane by Cheney, Powell, Rumsfled and Ashcroft.

Pot, meet kettle.

4. Never

Reagan was senile with Alzheimers while he was President. That was an open secret in Washington, but the media never reported it.

6. What if Junior because a liability to his masters?

I am reminded of something I heard during the 2000 Selection:

"He really doesn't look like a President. He looks like a little medieval kinglet who would be put on the throne for a few weeks and then strangled."

5. considering Bush is probably tone-deaf ...

that's a pretty good analogy!

Recall that he doesn't seem to be very musical.
"He was the head football cheerleader his senior year, a member of
his class rock-and-roll band, the Torqueys – not singing or playing an instrument but clapping"
