GW Bush is a Sociopath
GW Bush Sociopath

"I will never feel the same level of pain and loss you do. I didn't lose anyone close to me, a member of my family or someone that I love. But I want you to know that I didn't go into this lightly. This was a decision that I struggle with every day." GW Bush

GW Bush had a sister who died. The family went golfing the next day. “I didn't lose anyone close to me, a member of my family or someone that I love.” Maybe his sister wasn’t close to him or he didn’t love her but she (was a member of his family.)How could he forget that?

1. the way his parents handled his sister's death very much shaped him
Edited on Wed Aug-17-05 05:42 AM by Skittles
it's really the only twinge of sympathy I have ever felt for that asshole, the way he was never allowed to deal with his sister's death (as detailed in Mr. Hatfied's book, I forget the title). I refuse to judge his parents for it because I well know that people handle grief in many different ways (supposedly the family carried on as normal because they received extremly bad advice about how to handle the loss).

2. When I read this same account about him, I really wanted to hug the
little boy, whose parents not only carried on as "normal" but supposedly detached from him too. I read that they virtually ignored him, and then showered their attention on the new babies that had been born afterwards.

9. all in all it was overwhelmingly abusive
I believe it is in large part what makes him unable to feel at all now

3. "Fortunate Son"
I think that was the name of the book.

4. I heard what he said and also wondered how he could forget Robin. (PICS)
That remark is just too sad to be another 'bushism'.

5. I know my English is not perfect, but, " I didn't lose anyone close
to me", is not only a lie, but grammatically incorrect.

A president who lies and don't speak English too good.

6. I don't think they even told him she had died
they just never mentioned it again.

No hearts in that family, that's for sure.

8. Since his sister's death and his English usage have come up...
Edited on Wed Aug-17-05 06:52 AM by Crankie Avalon
Years later, when asked to write a school assignment about "an emotional experience," he recounted his sister's death and how, "The lacerates flowed down my cheeks." His mother had drilled it into him not to use the same word twice when writing, so he looked up a synonym for "tears" in a thesaurus she had given him.

He didn't realize there were different synonyms for "tears" the noun and "tears" the verb. The teacher gave him a zero and wrote "disgraceful" across the page in red.
