Dr. Justin Frank: "Bush On The Couch" - NY Daily News
Another book coming which psychoanalyzes *

(snip)
Dr. Justin Frank has taken it upon himself to put "Bush on the Couch" (the title of his new book). Based on his applied psychoanalysis of Dubya's life, the White House is occupied by an "untreated ex-alcoholic" with paranoid and megalomaniac tendencies. Even though he's a helluva nice guy.
(snip)
...although Frank has never met Dubya, the doc also finds:

Bush shows an inability to grieve - dating back to age 7, when his sister died. "The family's reaction - no funeral and no mourning - set in motion his life-long pattern of turning away from pain behind antic behavior," says Frank, who contends Bush may suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Bush has shown a "lifelong streak of sadism," ranging from "childhood pranks (using firecrackers to explode frogs)" to "insulting journalists, gloating over state executions ... pumping his fist gleefully before the bombing of Baghdad."

Bush's years of drinking "may have affected his brain function - and his decision to quit drinking without the help of a 12-step program him at far higher risk of relapse."

Frank's recommendation? "The sole treatment option - for his benefit and ours - is to remove (him) from office."

3. See what happens when you accuse Gore of being crazy?
Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
