Earlier in the week there was a story running on MSNBC talking about how the reason the hurricane response was so messed up had to do with Bush being a “shoot the messenger” guy that fires anyone who brings him bad news, so none of his aides wanted to tell him it was even happening… Since he avoids all news and media, they had to make him a little custom DVD with information about what a hurricane is Katrina so he'd even know what all the ruckus was about.
[via] Anyway, right now Yahoo is running these Reuters photos of Bush writing Condi a note at the UN 2005 World Summit.
Again I ask: what medical checks are in place to remove a President if he's deteriorated mentally to the point where it's actually dangerous to have him in office. I suppose if I want my answer, I should just go and look at Reagan's reign — he was completely senile and insane by the time he left office.
[via] Let's look at one more Presidential note. Actually, this isn't written by a President, but it's written by someone who shot a President — [mentally ill] Charles Guiteau who successfully ended the rule of President Garfield. Well, sort of — he was actually killed by his doctors trying to treat him in the most barbaric of ways.
“To the American People: I conceived the idea of removing the President four weeks ago. Not a soul knew of my purpose. I conceived the idea myself and kept it to myself. I read the newspapers carefully for and against the Administration, and gradually the conviction settled on me that the President's removal was a political necessity, because he proved a traitor to the men that made him, and thereby imperiled the life of the Republic. This is not murder. It is a political necessity.”
Not that George “ask permission before going to the potty” Bush needs to be martyred!
…but I do think that the public should be able to demand a psyche evaluation.
