Why does Bush think everything is about HIM???
He went out of his way to make a big splash at CSK's funeral, and at Pope John Paul's. His flight suit sausage strut on the aircraft carrier was far more tasteless than anything Clinton ever did. He has repeatedly shown that he honestly believes that 3000 people died on the greatest day of his life (and the worst for every other American) just so he could have a blank check to do whatever he wanted. Has there ever been anyone more narcicistic?

2. because he is an egomaniac
his whole life has been about him, and him alone and using others to accomplish his goals.

4. Look this up "Narcissistic Personality Disorder" on the Internet.
You should find a DSM-IV TR description and symptoms. Congratulations you are correct.

14. He has the worst prognosis possible a "realized narcissistic"
This is also known as "Megalomania". The primary reason why he cannot attend uncontrolled events that are not centered on him. His behavior was terrible during the Clinton Library opening (bumping Clinton in the door) when he publicly speculated that a terrorist could blow up the Library with a submarine launched missile. He is one individual with a lot of pressing issues.

16. What I find really odd is how anyone can mistake him for
an adult, let alone hail him as their leader. I mean, there is no there, there.


And everything in his environment probably reinforces his pathology. (Shudder.)

18. I have a friend who was a Clinical Psychologist at detention facility.
He retired several years ago. 2 groups of patient inmates (not clients) he had the most difficulty with were Narcissistic and Borderline personality disorders. He always said most who commit violent crimes against people such pedophiles, rapist, murderers were easy deal with in comparison. Blivet is very transparent. He also has criminal tendencies.

20. I bet. My hubby has some BPD going. It has been a real

challenge to engage it usefully. Unlike Blivet, he's light years from where he was when we started.

As far as I can tell, the whole Bush mafia totes some very serious luggage. I don't see any of them putting it down any time soon.

7. No.
There has never been anyone more narcissistic than him in the Oval Office, that's for sure.

9. Because he'll wiretap anybody who disagrees, and send them to
a foreign extraordinary-rendition center.

11. Crux of the Argument Here
He has repeatedly shown that he honestly believes that 3000 people died on the greatest day of his life (and the worst for every other American) just so he could have a blank check to do whatever he wanted.

He either let or caused those people to die that day. And it was all for his and the rest of the BFEE's benefit. I view everything that has happened since 9/11 in that context.

15. Narcissistic Personality Disorder Diagnostic Criteria
Narcissistic Personality Disorder: A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
  1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

  2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

  3. Believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)

  4. Requires excessive admiration

  5. Has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations

  6. Is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends

  7. Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others

  8. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her

  9. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

A minmum of five? He shows signs of ALL NINE, and it's the combination of 3, 5, and 6 that make him so dangerous. Coming to terms with his mistakes and imperfections is so intolerable that he thinks nothing of telling the most obvious lies to distance himself from blame, and of manipulating people without regard to possible future consequences.

19. Ever wonder why there are so few detailed biographies?
People need to read the contents before they make a purchase.
