Bush has empathy burnout
Edited on Wed Aug-03-05 11:37 AM by Alpharetta
After his appearance at the Scout jamboree to help mourn the loss of scouts in the lightning, heat, and electrocution accidents, he's just drained of emotion. Have a little mercy on him. Don't trouble him with the deaths of a few Marines in Iraq. He needs a short vacation to recharge his emotional batteries. He gave at the office.

2. Read "Bush on the Couch"
by Dr. Justin Frank (psychiatrist). Bush has no empathy, is a sadist, megalomaniac and a borderline sociopath.

And the powers that be appointed this lunatic to be pResident. :scared:

3. Empathy burnout?
That would imply he once displayed empathy, and I have seen little evidence of that. I think he lacks the empathy gene all together.

4. Should we send him a gift basket?
We could put in a big bag of pretzels, a tic-tac-toe game, a coloring book featuring the House of Saud, oil flavored candy, and a cd feauturing John Ass(hole)crofts greatest hits!!!

Anyone else in?

5. It disturbs me to see that he has ANY influence at all on these
young minds. He should not be allowed near children, for their own mental safety.

10. Bush has very little capacity for empathy anyway.
What you are seeing is a Bush who is burned out from engaging in emotional labor- he tries to maintain an appropriately sad appearance but he really doesn't feel sad. This causes emotional dissonance- his displayed emotions are not consonant with his felt emotions.
