Its one thing to say Bush is a nut. It's quite another to say he's clinically insane.
************************************************************************
Let's look at the evidence:
(1.) Anyone who honestly thinks the world is going up in a cloud of Armageddon smoke any day now simply can't have a full deck! Imagine putting such wackosity on a job application.
(2.) The fundamental criteria for sanity is "being in touch with reality". Have you listened to Bush's ravings about the Iraqi real world these days? Or the Middle East phantasmagoria in general, for that matter. He's doing everything but flapping his arms trying to get airborne. Barnyard animals are more in touch with reality than our former (or is it present?) Yale cheerleader president.
(3.) And what's the deal about the Daddy God vs. Texas Daddy? Who's this man really listening to? "Voices in his head?" Isn't that another criterion for being nutso?
(4.) But the most damning criteria of all is his hideous indifference to human suffering. Clearly New Orleans was for him (and is) just a television sitcom and his detachment from the pre, present, and post torturing REALITY of New Orleans is literally pathological.
(5.) The same psychopathic indifference saturates all of his attitudes and policies about his designer war in Iraq. "Bring 'em on!" Remember that one? One wonders how many American lives were executed by that pseudo cowboy remark. Not to mention the anguish of the American families whose Bush-extinguished sons, daughters, fathers, and mothers will never, never come home.
(6.) Here's another one. This man is literally killing the planet in the name of (his) god. The tsunami of ecological chain reactions (expanding ozone holes, global warming, population explosions, stifled life and death medical research, etc., etc.), are all being "actively encouraged" by this man. But why? That's easy, it's arguably his way of goosing Armageddon along. In any case, a president who is as anti Mother Nature as this oil-loving, science-hating greed head should be PROFOUNDLY MISTRUSTED when it comes to the infinitely important stewardship of our one and only planet Earth. Said differently, fouling the nest for the entire Human Race can't be a symptom of sanity.
Clearly, this list can go on and on. Agreeing to wear that pathetic little box under his coat (everyone saw it!) during the 2004 presidential debates with John Kerry isn't exactly a sign of character strength.
The point is, this list isn't merely a business as usual list of political issues. It's a list of behaviors and attitudes of someone who is off the page of human acceptability. People who behave and feel (does he feel anything!) like George W. Bush, are clinically and legally insane.
So how do we deal with this outpatient?
