...and they're going to take a swing at him or slap him or something else that can't be laughed-off or misreported or sidelined in any way. First (that we have on film), Merkel, now Green. At some point soon, if he keeps it up, he's going to do something physical to the wrong person and they're going to respond in kind- probably in defense or upset. I have no idea exactly how the media will report this, especially if someone just hauls off and socks Bush.
Now, complicating this whole prediction (which doesn't seem too far-fetched given his behavior very recently) is the fact that he's surrounded by some of the strongest security for any politician. And always there are the Delta force snipers and counter-snipers which set up for each and every public appearance so that they can protect the pResident should there be an attempt on his life or person. I fear that one of these guys (or his direct bodyguards) might get a little overly-defensive and drop the defender. Stranger things happen during crab season off the coast of Alaska- all it takes is him to misjudge the wrong person and a real physical altercation could result.
No, I don't really have a particular point. Things are just getting Grade A weird with Bush- most of all the jibes that we levied against him were made with the underlying assumption that he may be ignorant, he may be an asshole-fratboy stereotype and he may be a little "tetched" in the head but that premise may not be tenable anymore. If he's really losing it, actually going crazy, well that puts us in the, and this is an understatement of epic proportions,
uncomfortable position of contemplating that at the rate he appears to be deteriorating he will not last the 2+ years he has left in his term. It just does not seem that Bush will serve his full second term as pResident because, ignoring the current tootles specter of impeachment, he will literally do something which will indicate that he is mentally or emotionally unfit to hold the office.
This is, in my opinion, a much more frightening supposition than that he is intelligent but just "evil". You can
combat evil. This appears to be something...
beyond that and not representative of a properly functioning mind. It just freaks the applesauce right out of me.
