Re: W, is this scary?
I've often thought of W and some in his administration as sociopaths... but today I looked up sociopath to see if I was on the right track or whether I was using a term in a spurious fashion. Take a look at this:

1. I think dubya's a dead ringer....
"Glibness/Superficial Charm" - yep

"Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature" - Think back to that first debate...


And the best of all:
"Grandiose Sense of Self
Feels entitled to certain things as "their right." Craves adulation and attendance. Must be the center of attention with their own fantasies as the "spokesman for God," "enlightened," "leader of humankind," etc. Creates an us-versus-them mentality"

2. Where's the photo?
I thought sure there'd be a photo of him. No photo? Really?

4. Oh yeah
Any decent president would resign in shame over the horrible things they've done.

At the very least, make a *very* contrite public apology for the lack of WMD's and the war.

5. That's actually a pretty good list
I pulled out my Abnormal Psychology book a few years ago and have been calling him a sociopath ever since.

Somebody here (sorry I can't give credit. I don't remember) called him the Silverspoon Sociopath.

6. Yep,
he's Ted Bundy with too much power and influence.

But actually, since Cheney is running the show, hopefully he can't do too much damage. But * loves his wargames with his very own soldiers and everything!

7. Wow, that's also my brother
no wonder I always worried about him showing up on my doorstep. He died a couple of years ago, and I cried more over Andy than my brother. Sad state of affairs.

9. The only thing on the list that doesn't apply to chimpy is .....
"Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity"

I think he is more of the type that has sex once a year with the lights out. I could be wrong though.

13. This description fits very well
If the rumors of Chimpy and Condi are true, every single characteristic applies.


Then there is the list of "Other Related Qualities"...Chimpy has every one of those too! :yoiks:
