What does it say about a country that allows itself to be lead by a crazy person?

You know yesterday I made a kind of flip remark about the President's sanity.

But after sleeping on it, I have decided that there can be no doubt that George W. Bush is out of his ever lovin mind!

Now I have touched on this subject before, and I wondered if I am alone in making this determination. Well guess what? I am not.

This psychiatrist diagnosed Bush as a paranoid schizophrenic: The study, based on Bush's public appearances and medical records, claims it leads the president to believe he is omnipotent and able to operate outside the law. And it says he could be driven by his medical condition to invent and then destroy enemies to demonstrate his power to the world.

This psychiatrist wrote a book about Bush's mental state: George Washington University psychiatrist Dr. Justin Frank in his book Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President. Dr. Frank diagnosed the President as a “paranoid megalomaniac” and “untreated alcoholic” whose “lifelong streak of sadism, ranging from childhood pranks (using firecrackers to explode frogs) to insulting journalists, gloating over state executions and pumping his hand gleefully before the bombing of Baghdad” showcase Bush’s instabilities.

It is rumored that Bush is now being treated with anti-depressants, however, angry outbursts, stating they are doing God’s work, and systematic attacks on perceived enemies are not symptoms of clinical depression. Bush is displaying symptoms of schizophrenia and paranoid delusions.

Here is a psychiatrist who believes that Bush suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder: First and foremost, George W. Bush has a Narcissistic Personality Disorder. What this means, mostly, is that he has rather desperate insecurities about himself, and compensates by constructing a grandiose self-image. Most of his relationships are either mirroring relationships--people who flatter him and reinforce his grandiosity -or idealized self-objects--people that he himself thinks a lot of, and hence feels flattered by his association. Some likely perform both functions. Hence his weakness for sycophants like Harriet Miers, and powerful personalities like Dick Cheney.

I actually work in the mental health field and, though I am not a psychiatrist of psychologist, it has been painfully obvious for some time that George Bush is suffering form a severe mental illness.

Many have said that we should not consider impeachment this late in the Presidency, but I ask you, how long should a crazy person be allowed to lead the United States?

In my opinion even an hour is too long, and we have had him for over six year! We are extraordinarily luck we even have a country left after that!
