11. Sociopath

(snap, noiretblu!)

To follow up on that, wikipedia says the term is now superceded in medical circles by "Antisocial personality disorder" (unfortunately not one word).

Check out the diagnostic criteria:

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, a widely used manual for diagnosing mental and behavioral disorders (see also: DSM cautionary statement), defines antisocial personality disorder as a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others occurring since age 15 years, as indicated by three (or more) of the following:

1. failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest
2. deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure
3. impulsivity or failure to plan ahead
4. irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults
5. reckless disregard for safety of self or others
6. consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain steady work or honor financial obligations
7. lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another

7 out of 7, I'd say, though he's not doing so much physical fighting himself, these days.

[noiretextatique]

38. fits him to a tee, don't it?

whatever the technical term: he's one :hi:

[Arugula Latte]

90. Yes. Sociopath. I've been thinking of him as President Sociopath.

[leftchick]

[LunaSea]

12. puppet

[Qibing Zero]

82. Seconded. nt

[flakey_foont]

13. shithead

[Jack from Charlotte]

14. Incompetent. It's the word the Dems should have hung on his ass...

during the election. Every dem should have said.... Incompetent.... before every description of his actions during the election of '04.

George Bush is incompetent. He's the only president since Hurbert Hoover during the Great Depression to preside over net job loses during his administraion.

The Deficit. Bush is incompetent. He took the largest suplus in US history and in one year turned them into the largest deficits.

National Security? He's incompetent. On August 6th 2001 he was warned that Bin Laden was going to hijack planes and attack New York, yet he did nothing. Incompetent.

[Straight Shooter]

18. I'll second that. Incompetent.

I was talking to a friend in Texas today (he can't stand bush), and I must have used the word "incompetent" to refer to bush at least 20 times in our 15-minute conversation.

[Jack from Charlotte]

31. It's the perfect word. It's not really a pejorative but..... it really is.

Yet, it's just a description that even public politicians can use to describe his record. Most, if not all the other descriptions on this thread couldn't be used by press, pundits or pols in describing him.

[The Jacobin]

28. Definately incompetent

It's the effect of all the free passes he received in life. Whenever he got in over his head -- his daddy's friends saved him. So he has never had to become competent at anything and now values loyalty over competence.

[JAbuchan08]

79. Would it be redundant to suggest pigfuck?

n/t

[SofaKingLiberal]

96. No, allow me to elaborate:

A fuckpig would be a pig that is used for fucking, while a pigfuck would be someone who fucks pigs.

Both are good suggestions and they might both apply.

George Bush may like to fuck pigs, and it is also possible that he likes to get fucked by pigs. By putting on a pig suit and getting down on all fours while he takes it up the ass by a boar, that would qualify him as a fuckpig. On the days he simply likes to stick it into a pig, he would simply be a pigfuck.
