The Presidents obsession or What would Sigmund Freud say about a man named Bush who is constantly cutting down bushes?

On most of the 365 days he has enjoyed at his secluded ranch here, President Bush's idea of paradise is to hop in his white Ford pickup truck in jeans and work boots, drive to a stand of cedars, and whack the trees to the ground.

How come on a ranch of this size that the only thing this guy can find to do is cut down brush? And why does he not delegate it to his many hired hands? It makes one wonder.

"Most likely he's doing that to show the media he's got a chain saw," joked Larry Mattladge, who raises Black Angus cows three-quarters of a mile from the Bush ranch and built his fence rows out of cedar posts. "It's a man's thing. Brush clearing is not only for the young at heart, it's for the young. It's to show he's a Texan."

Presidential historian Robert Dallek said: "This is part of his macho image. Obviously this is nothing Bush has to do. He's the son of a rich man who doesn't have to spend his time cutting underbrush."

These are good theories but I would like to proffer an alternate possibility. Could it be a physical manifestation of George Bushes self loathing? Perhaps this is how he works out his frustration at his own ineptitude? Maybe the bushes represent the Bush?

Can't you just see him out there with his axe, cleaving through the underbrush while sobbing about fixing the intelligence, and sending too few troops, and eavesdropping on his fellow Americans.

"Oh you damned Bush! You traitorous vines! You shrubs are living in a bubble!" He says with tear stained cheeks. "You should be impeached for growing under foot! You and your advisors, the roots, the twigs, and the briar patches! You must all go!"

Then when his vessel of frustraton is empty he goes back to work and just continues to screw up the country. Oh yeah! He's crazy!

If you don't buy this, well then you are just jealous that you did not think of it first!
