Mood Swings
Edited on Sat Aug-27-05 10:21 PM by ls317
Last year, Capitol Hill Blue learned the White House physician prescribed anti-depressant drugs for the President to control what aides called “violent mood swings.” As Dr. Frank also notes: “In writing about Bush's halting appearance in a press conference just before the start of the Iraq War, Washington Post media critic Tom Shales speculated that ‘the president may have been ever so slightly medicated.’”

Dr. Frank explains Bush’s behavior as all-to-typical of an alcoholic who is still in denial:

“The pattern of blame and denial, which recovering alcoholics work so hard to break, seems to be ingrained in the alcoholic personality; it's rarely limited to his or her drinking,” he says. “The habit of placing blame and denying responsibility is so prevalent in George W. Bush's personal history that it is apparently triggered by even the mildest threat.”

1. This has been posted a zillion times...and the source is incredibly
shaky, at best.

I suggest that we ignore that it exists, as tempting as it is to believe.

3. Capitol Hill Blue
is not a good source.

However, ANYONE with a functioning brain can clearly see that there is DEFINITELY something seriously physically/mentally wrong with Dubya.
