Bushage

This is a long, at times entertaining, at times alarming, at times unsubstantiated opinion piece about the psychopathology of George W. Bush that kept me pinned to my seat reading until the end. There's a lot of pure opinion in there, so don't consider it unbiased. But there's lots of good food for thought, to be sure. It was submitted to Nonduality Salon the other day and included in today's NDS News. The weakest points to me seem to be with respect to the claims of Dubya's aspartame poisoning and the effects it would have on his cognitive processes. One of the more interesting points is with respect to his famous non-sequiturs, mixed metaphors, and messed-up clichés -- one author asserts that Dubya gets these phrases all wrong because he fundamentally doesn't believe them or understand what they mean. Oh yeah, and we can't forget the clinical diagnoses of antisocial personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder, both of which would appear to hold water at least anecdotally here.
