Very disturbing story about Bush's state of mind in the Wash Times magazine
by John in DC - 11/15/2005 05:26:00 PM


The Washington Times, you may know, is an "independent" newspaper that is basically the mouthpiece of the Republican party. For that reason, it sometimes gets inside scoops as to what the GOP is thinking, and even what's going on inside the White House. For that reason, their latest story on Bush is extremely disturbing:
President Bush feels betrayed by several of his most senior aides and advisors and has severely restricted access to the Oval Office, administration sources say. The president's reclusiveness in the face of relentless public scrutiny of the U.S.-led war in Iraq and White House leaks regarding CIA operative Valerie Plame has become so extreme that Mr. Bush has also reduced contact with his father, former President George H.W. Bush, administration sources said on the condition of anonymity.

1. Bush's State Of Mind - Always Disturbing

he's a sick, sick man. Not because of the drugs either, I know lots of people who did too much coke in the 80's - they aren't fucked up like Bush.

[occuserpens]

2. Bush rarely speaks to father, ‘family is split’

[katinmn]

10. He only speaks to 4 people: Mama Bush, Laura, Condi and Karen!

We are in the hands of a madman and his team of whackos.

:scared:

[Auntie Bush]

41. Notice...He only speaks to women. Interesting...

He hates all men. They betray him...especially his father.
He doesn't feel like a "man" when with men...only with women.
His childhood must have sucked! Poor Baby! Want a pacifier?

[kittykitty]

46. they are his "mothers""

[cliss]

3. OMG, this is funny!

Bush feels that several of his senior aides and advisors have betrayed him. Who?

I think it's so amusing to watch these guys attack each other. They have been in attack mode for the past 10 years. Now it's only fitting that they attack each other.

How funny: Bush is limiting contact with his father, Bush Senior. Can you just see the nagging, the advice, the phone calls Poppy is trying to give Junior right now?

OH, to be a fly on the wall of the Oval Office.

[speedoo]

4. So he feels "betrayed", does he?

Well, fuck him. He has betrayed his country repeatedly.

Starting with his TANG escapades and likely earlier. But Poppy and Barb have always been there to enable the hopeless Coward, so it became habit forming. Only now we are looking at impeachable offenses, that this country may never recover from.

5. Taegan Goddard mentioned this too

According to Insight magazine, President Bush "feels betrayed by several of his most senior aides and advisors and has severely restricted access to the Oval Office... Bush has also reduced contact with his father."

[starroute]

19. Insight and the Washington Times are both Moon operations

Which raises the question of whether it's just "inside scoops" or if the Moon organization has decided to shaft Bush.

[Uncle Joe]

6. Somebody better call Howard Baker

to get in there and fix this shit before we end up with World War III.

[ClusterFreak]

7. I like Americablog.....but....

...John has a tendency to in one breath slam a paper like the Washington Times (and rightfully so), a website like the Drudge Report (and rightfully so), and then in the next breath use them as a credible source about some issue. Because it happens to fit in with his point of view. Which 9.9 times out of 10, I happen to share as well.

In this instance though, I do tend to think Bush is isolating himself more and more from those who make up his inner circle. I wouldn't need the Washington Times or Matt Drudge to confirm it however.

IMO.

8. Medical impeachment?

[ToolTex]

9. And swiftly.

n/t

[Ilsa]

13. Good idea!

I like this. I want him to have a total emotional breakdown so they'll have to toss his chickenshit ass into the room next to Andrea Yates. Who knows if Cheney is even alive?

[LookManLook]

18. hahahahahaha

Who knows if Cheney is even alive! I almost feel out of my chair from laughter!

11. want to see how freepers react to this...Should send it to OReilly too

[lovuian]

12. Paranoia has set in... this is not good... It happens to most

rulers and it was ususally the closest that were the most dangerous...

[drb]

14. All women, notably.... jealous of Clinton.... rivalry with his Dad....

...any armchair psychologists wanna take a crack at this, with an eye to telling the world how to make him go into a foaming, screaming, cursing hissy fit on public TV?

[Coastie for Truth]

15. "Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President"

by Justin A. Frank, MD (a Washington Pychiatrist).

There is a clinical diagnosis for Bush's condition. But, not being a shrink, I don't know what it is. Dr. Frank throws a bunch up in the air.

Has anybody seen Barney? Maybe Barney bit him.

27. He had a pretty f-upped "state of mind" long before he f-upped the USA.

Ya' think he's gettin' that he's been chewed up and spit out just like all those of us and the Iraqi people who have been exploited, bled and bankrupt by the neoconster/corporacratic predatory pricks?

Naw. I doubt it. He's too f*cking gullible to get all that cause he doesn't even READ!!!!

[lonestarnot]

16. Who knows how to carry on a conversation with a rat? and further more

who would want to?

[FlemingsGhost]

17. This is an act ... and its consistent with his latest PR efforts:

It's not his fault. HE'S the victim here ... and we are supposed to feel his pain and sympathize. It's what immature, spoiled brats do when they are cornered, and have run out of excuses.

If he hasn't already, I'll just about guarantee he'll be drinking again very soon. A bottle is ALWAYS your loyal friend.

[Avalux]

21. I agree it's an act.

That's why they're saying those closest to him now are women, so he can be comforted. All those men he trusted have betrayed him. If they succeed, it'll set up Jebbie for 08. :puke:

[Fla Dem]

20. I don't think he's comfortable with men. Either they intimidate him

or he has very low self esteem. I have felt all along his jutted out jaw, cowboy swagger and "Bring 'em on" rhetoric was all an act. I think he is really a mama's boy, maybe even latent homosexual. Without those strong women around him to bolster his ego, he would have flipped a long time ago. By the way where's Harriet. She part of that strong woman inner circle.

[Lisa]

24. yes, I think it's not a case of him being "comfortable with strong women"

... as he claims -- I suspect that your suggestion that he's intimidated by most other men is on the mark.

Perhaps he was insecure about being outperformed by the guys in his family (like his dad, who was "big man on campus" and a star athlete), since he was always being compared unfavorably to them. On his own, Georgie is actually better on those counts than a lot of guys I know, who are confident and well-adjusted enough not to let it bother them -- but in his own mind, it was the relative (in every sense of the word) comparison that mattered, above all else.

Maybe this is why he half-heartedly tried to copy his dad (trying out for school teams, applying to be a pilot, getting into the oil business). And why he makes such a big deal out of working out (and deriding those he feels aren't in such good shape).

He surrounds himself with people who aren't likely to pose a threat, in terms of physical prowess (Ari Fleischer and Karl Rove, for example -- and older men like Cheney and Rumsfeld). And those who are (like the Secret Service agents, and Lance Armstrong), can be ordered to defer to him.

So he is creating his own little world, where he is the sole masculine influence -- he picks women who will prop him up, and be "strong" in terms of protecting him, but not when it comes to correcting him and questioning him.

p.s. I know a number of gay men who would find such a situation manipulative and undignified (one of them actually warned me about getting into just such a problem with a guy I was dating, who played his ex-girlfriends off against each other) -- so it may cut across gender/sexual orientation.

[bklyncowgirl]

23. I want my MOMMY!

Good God. He only speaks to his Mommy or his "harem".

I really hope that this is not true.

[bluedawg12]

25. He almost lost it on the Vet Day speech. Anyone notice?

He was talking about those who were loyal, either before or after his tirade about disloyalty to the troops, and he started quivering, seen this before where he has to reign in to keep from bursting into tears.

Was it McBeth who couldn't get the blood off his hands?

[stepnw1f]

29. What a Sad Pathetic Leader We Have

He is so insecure, that he needs to know if his own people are loyal all the time? Heh?

What a messed up little man.

[peekaloo]

32. His insides are lonely.....

no guts, no brains, no spine, no heart, no soul, he's just a big ol' empty sausage casing.....:cry:

[boobooday]

26. Just when you thought he couldn't be more disturbing

What is even more disturbing is that 30% of people still think he's cool.

[bluedawg12]

28. I figure that 30% is the 80% repig number in society.

In another words, that 80% of the repigs that still like him make up 30% of those polled.

Those are the lost children of the kool-aide.

[SillyGoose]

30. Reduced contact with his father....

Poppy canned Rove years ago for leaking info to Novak. I would imagine Poppy Bush must have told Jr. "I told you so" every time they got together.

"Sources close to the former president George H.W. Bush say Rove was fired from the 1992 Bush presidential campaign after he planted a negative story with columnist Robert Novak about dissatisfaction with campaign fundraising chief and Bush loyalist Robert Mosbacher Jr. It was smoked out, and he was summarily ousted" (Esquire Magazine, January 2003).

31. all I have to say is.....

what mind?
take care
tony and dietrich

[peekaloo]

33. He's President Les Nessman. Invisible walls and doors surround

him and only those granted imperial access may enter.

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

38. Watch out for the falling turkeys.

:)

[hopeisaplace]

45. I loved that show

WKRP
*ah ya took me back to the good ole days*

[laureloak]

34. He's just having himself a big old pout.

While surrounded by his women.

[barb162]

35. We all better watch out before he starts getting more

directions from "upstairs"

The more he tunes out , the more dangerous things will get.

[Mr_Spock]

36. Next time don't needlessly slaughter 31000 people based on lies.

No sympathy here...

[tlsmith1963]

37. Can He Be Removed From Power...

...because of insanity? I don't like knowing a crazy guy is running the country.

[tishaLA]

39. He'll be talking to the WH portraits soon

like his hero....

[Zen Democrat]

40. Whether this is true or not, looks like Rev. Moon is a Crashcart Man!

If, in fact, a rift has formed between * and Big Time, then Rev. Moon seems to be carrying the water for The Evil One.

Perhaps Big Time wants * impeached so he can run things without any impediment. Because if * is no longer listening to Big Dick, Big Dick may fight dirty.

This opens up a whole can of possibilities here ... if Rove remains loyal to *, then might he give up Big Time to Fitzgerald in the process? Maybe he already has.

[Warren DeMontague]

42. The more I hear, the more it sounds like he's off the wagon.

And on a serious bender. Fucking frightening.

[madeline_con]

43. So, the paranoia reached fever pitch....

how long before he has to be sent away for a "rest", and DICK officially takes the reigns?

[bluedawg12]

44. You men it can only go from bad to worse?

Now that's a scary thought.

The old saying better to have a known devil than an unknown devil. or something like that.
