The Big Picture shows Bush in big mental trouble
Edited on Fri Oct-15-04 05:52 AM by Jon8503
October 14, 2004—In the prestigious Republican insider newsletter, The Big Picture, in an article after the first debate, "Why Kerry Won and What Comes Next," publisher Richard Whalen wrote a devastating appraisal of John Kerry's striking victory over George Bush. In weighing the outcome, Whalen said Duhbya may now be unable to "get his head back in the game."

The question is, was it really ever in it, rather than solely in the "yes-man" fantasyland of Pennsylvania Avenue? Whalen adds, "As new scholarly books and articles speculate, the President , a self-admitted, untreated alcoholic who talks to God may be mentally and psychologically unable to organize his thoughts instantaneously and speak precisely in debate as his unique 'hard job' demands . . ."

I'll say. The anti-depressants reportedly prescribed by the White House physician and the aspartame overdosing via a stream of diet drinks don't help, either. The latter, as mentioned in an earlier article, metabolizes into ethyl alcohol in the liver, not exactly recommended for a recovering alcoholic. Perhaps this substances plus the possible onset of "presenile dementia," as noticed by Dr. Joseph M. Price of Carsonville, Michigan, contribute to the slowing of Duhbyah's speech. What's more, his body language—the sloping posture, restlessness at the podium, the shifting eyes, grimacing lips—signaled an inner anger and discomfort as Kerry reeled off fact after stinging fact, challenging his sputtering lordship about the unpleasant war in Iraq, its rush-to and mishandling-after, along with other administration fiascoes.

As Whalen writes in the Big Picture, "It has been reported that Bush feels intense inner resentment at what he is being forced to do by the demands of his job. Close White House aides have disclosed Bush's short-fused, fiery temper under daily stress, especially from the news media." This too was documented in an article of mine, "The Final Days of Bush." Whalen validates what that article reported, that "He (Bush) emerges from news conferences swearing under his breath."

What's more, in the same issue, publisher Whalen relays, from a knowledgeable Texas source, that a New York Times investigative team has been probing G.W. Bush's sale of his stake in the Texas Rangers baseball team. They've obtained documents that may prove very damaging at this late date in the campaign.

3. HE'S on anti-depressants?
A lot people will be able to stop taking them after Nov 2 and he's out of office...and it'll help that intense inner r esentment too. If he doesn't like the hard work, then why the hell is he there?
