\_ Interesting article. You know, during the last days of
Germany, Hitler tried to moved troops that no longer
existed and talked about a final pushback that would
make his dream come true.

His August move to Crawford and his refusal/inability to meet with C indy Sheehan are only the latest steps in that long retreat from the rea l world. Iraq unprovoked, Bush continues to hold fast to his familiar phrases through t he tragic London bombings, the accusations swirling around Karl Rove, th e wave of deaths in the first week of August, into the persistent challe nge posed by families camped outside his prairie fortress that he person ally explain to them why their sons had to die. June 28th will be remembered as the "turning point" in America's percepti on of Bush's motives for the war in Iraq. August 15 will be remembered a s the "tipping point" in America's perception of Bush's humanity. For on that day he became a Marie Antoinette clone -- using his own version of "Let them eat cake" -- when he said of his choosing strenuous exercise over talking to Cindy Sheehan, "I have to get on with my life." Leading Republicans, such as Senator Chuck Hagel, have already found frau dulence in the party line, claiming that President Bush and his cheerlea ders were "disconnected from reality." On August 3 he continued to offer nothing more than more of the same, prompting Sheehan to go to Crawford the following Saturday. He keeps saying our world is safer while his wo rld continues to shrink. As a psychoanalyst who has been studying Bush's words and behavior in hop es of better understanding his mind, I'm heartened that so many critics have drawn the nation's attention to Bush's need to repeat points and ph rases -- even after their inaccuracy has been established. Now critics s ee clearly his distaste for having to meet with the people whose lives h e has forever changed. But recognition only raises the deeper question: why, in the face of inco ntrovertible evidence to the contrary, does Bush persist in this way? Ho w does it help him to continue repeating himself to a nation that increa singly believes he is lying on several fronts? How does his refusal to m eet with Cindy Sheehan help him? There is a two-part answer to this question: First, as far as Bush is con cerned, he is telling the truth; Like many of my hospitalized patients, Bush has created a vast, detailed but vague delusional system he feels compelled to maintain at all costs. This system helps him manag e the terrifying anxiety that threatens to make his already endangered i nner world more chaotic. The second answer is made clear by his reaction to Cindy Sheehan: he beli eves his lies because he feels his survival depends on it. his entire internal mental structure would be shattered. Psychoanalytic theory suggests that Bush's true enemy is an aspect of him self -- the overwhelming anxiety he works so hard to manage. For Bush, l ying remains a central defense mechanism in managing his fears; he lies foremost to himself, altering his perception of external or internal rea lity to fulfill his psychic need to maintain order. His anxiety is so gr eat that he cannot shift his thinking to account for new information --e specially the fact that patriotic families of patriotic soldiers demand that he speak with them. Taking responsibility has always been hard for George W Bush. And taking responsibility for inflicting harm on others, a major step in the devel opment of maturity, is a step President Bush has yet to make. Instead, h e persists in lying to himself, surrounding himself with people who agre e with him. And now he is not safe even inside his own closed circle. |

Printer friendly page Buy beleaguered, overworked White House aides enough drinks and they tell a sordid tale of an administration under siege, beset by bitter staff i nfighting and led by a man whose mood swings suggest paranoia bordering on schizophrenia. They describe a President whose public persona masks an angry, obscenity- spouting man who berates staff, unleashes tirades against those who disa gree with him and ends meetings in the Oval Office with get out of here! In fact, George W Bushs mood swings have become so drastic that White Ho use emails often contain weather reports to warn of the Presidents demea nor. Calm seas means Bush is calm while tornado alert is a warning that he is pissed at the world. Decreasing job approval ratings and increased criticism within his own pa rty drives the Presidents paranoia even higher. Bush, in a meeting with senior advisors, called Senator Majority Leader Bill Frist a god-damned traitor for opposing him on stem-cell research. Theres real concern in the West Wing that the President is losing it, a h igh-level aide told me recently. A year ago, this web site discovered the White House physician prescribed anti-depressants for Bush. The news came after revelations that the Pre sidents wide mood swings led some administration staffers to doubt his s anity. Although GOP loyalists dismissed the reports an anti-Bush propaganda, the reports were later confirmed by prominent George Washington University psychiatrist Dr. Justin Frank in his book Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President. Frank diagnosed the President as a paranoid m eglomaniac and untreated alcoholic whose lifelong streak of sadism, rang ing from childhood pranks (using firecrackers to explode frogs) to insul ting journalists, gloating over state executions and pumping his hand gl eefully before the bombing of Baghdad showcase Bushs instabilities. I was really very unsettled by him and I started watching everything he d id and reading what he wrote and watching him on videotape. He fits the profile of a former drinker who se alcoholism has been arrested but not treated. Franks conclusions have been praised by other prominent psychiatrists , including Dr. James Grotstein, Professor at UCLA Medical Center, and D r Irvin Yalom, MD, Professor Emeritus at Stanford University Medical Sc hool. As a recovering alcoholic (sober 11 years, two months, nine days), I know all too well the symptoms that Dr. Frank describes and, after watching Bush for the past several years, I have to, unfortunately, agree with hi m Conversations over the last few weeks with longtime friends who work in t he Bush White House confirm even more what Dr. How long can the sh ip of state continue to sail with a madman at the helm? |
