Psychiatrists Say George W. Bush Is Neither a Good Man Nor a Well Man- Makes Nixon Look Sane

So what’s wrong with having a president who is a dry drunk with brain damage along with narcissistic & antisocial personality disorders? “Bush has a short attention span, doesn't read key briefings, and wanders off on tangents in cabinet meetings - mostly about Saddam Hussein and Iraq - lashing out at anyone who disagrees with him.” Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill
Narcissistic Personality Disorder- “ The most disturbing aspect about narcissists . . is their pathological inability to empathize with others, with the exception of those who either mirror them, or whom they idealize. Hence Bush's horrifying insensitivity to the Katrina victims, his callous jokes when visiting grievously injured soldiers, and numerous other instances. The guy simply has no capacity to feel for others in that way. . . .Bush isn't losing any sleep over dead American soldiers, to say nothing of dead Iraqis. He didn't exhibit any sign of significant concern until his own political popularity was sliding--because THAT'S something he can definitely feel. . . is George Bush willing to risk the lives of hundreds, maybe thousands more American soldiers, on an outside chance to save his political skin, in a half-baked plan that even he knows probably won't work at all? Damn straight he is. Because George Bush is that narcissistic, that desperate, and yes, that sociopathic . . . Narcissistic Personality Disorder is frequently associated with alcoholism. The insufferable ‘holier than thou’ attitude associated with ‘Dry Drunk Syndrome’ is indicative of underlying narcissism. Also, the way that Bush embraces Christianity is characteristically narcissistic. Rather than incorporating the lessons of humility and empathy modeled by Jesus, Bush uses his Christian faith to reinforce his grandiosity. Jesus is his powerful ally, his idealized ‘buddy’ who gives a rubber stamp to any cockamie invasion he thinks up. Finally--and this will sound VERY familiar--NPDs are notoriously unable to say they're sorry. Admitting error is fundamentally incompatible with their precarious efforts to maintain their sense of ‘okayness’. Any friend, partner, or family member that has this character flaw almost certainly has NPD.'" A Psychiatrist's Perspective By Paul L. Minot, MD
Antisocial Personality Disorder-“There is a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others: 1) failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest; 2) deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure; 5) reckless disregard for safety of self or others; 7) lack of remorse by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated or stolen from others.” Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Fourth Edition

Dry Drunk- “manifests all the classic patterns of what alcoholics in recovery call 'the dry drunk'.
His behavior is consistent with being brought on by years of heavy drinking and possible cocaine use.’ ‘Dry drunk,’ . . .’is a slang term used by members and supporters of Alcoholics Anonymous and substance abuse counselors to describe the recovering alcoholic who is no longer drinking - one who is dry, but whose thinking is clouded.’ Such an individual is 'dry' but not truly sober. Such individuals tend to go to overboard. A good example of Bush' ‘polarized thinking’ is his call for ‘crusades’ based on ‘infinite justice’ for ‘evil-doers’ comprising an ‘axis of evil.’”

Brain Damage- “Even discounting the effects of cocaine abuse, years of binge drinking is known to destroy neurons and slow the synapses that map reality.”
