For the life of me I can’t understand why you aren’t taking this deadly serious. Al Qaeda is about to launch a second wave of terrorist attacks on the US, probably using a biological weapon of mass destruction. Bush is PARANOID WITH DELUSIONS (MEGALAMANIA-i.e. he/God/America are the same thing). Do you trust a man with such a diagnosis running the country, and the extreme stress of the worst attack on the US in our history? WAKE UP!

By the way, the Presidencial Debate Committee has already schedualled the three Presidencial and one Vice Presidencial debates, but are waiting for Bush’s OK (Kerry already agreed). Tim Russert on Meet the Press was concerned that Bush would have to avoid these debates. I think you can safely count this as the acid test-1. If Bush agrees to the debates (that are already schedualled) and 2. How Bush acts when given real unrehearst spontanious questions in a stressful situation.

I think in your heart you know the answer…don’t be afraid, be VERY afraid!

I honestly do not think that it should be a big deal if the President is taking medication to control depression. Can you even imagine being the President and having the weight of the entire free world on your shoulders? Wouldnt you want something to help keep you from getting clinically depressed?

There is a test that they give people who are going into the doctor for depression. This test consists of about 30 questions. These questions regard things that happen in the daily life of a normal individual. If I had to answer these questions for the President, I would say he is clinically depressed. This would simply be based on what the normal life of a President is like. He is constantly traveling, he spends minimal amounts of time with his family, and he makes huge decisions every day… I could keep going, but it seems a bit extraneous to continue.

If the person who is reporting this news can not tell us the name of the medication, I would simply dismiss this as a rumor. Although the exact drugs Bush takes to control his depression and behavior are not known, White House sources say they are powerful medications designed to bring his erratic actions under control. This statement is followed up by: While Col. Tubb regularly releases a synopsis of the Presidents annual physical, details of the Presidents health and any drugs or treatment he may receive are not public record and are guarded zealously by the secretive cadre of aides that surround the President. So tell me this How is it that this classified information has become public record? Right they want us to take this as a truth.

“The Lord ruined a perfectly good ass hole when he put teeth in Bush’s mouth.”

1. Reference to a higher power (no-no for liberals) shame shame…

2. The whole ruining of an asshole that is described as “perfectly good” becomes a messy paradox.

3. Where else would the “Lord” put the teeth?

4. Asshole is ONE word there, Webster.

Any man who can fall on his face, not ONCE, but 3 times during his term in office has some SERIOUS problems. I don’t even believe the pretzel story any more. He’s done the same thing again- TWICE. Bush is just a spoiled child trapped in a mans body; a complete waste of skin.

The Lord ruined a perfectly good ass hole when he put teeth in Bush’s mouth.

What about the exploding frogs? Are there corroborating stories related to that? I worry more about sadism in his past than mental instability in his future,…the former being a proven strong indicator of sociopathic behavior to come.

I agree that the American people have a right to know if the president has any medical/mental health problems that might affect his job. I’m just wondering a) how credible Frank’s book is, and b) how credible the Capital Hill Blue reporter is. I mean, there are a lot of people who’d agree that Bush is a “paranoid megalomaniac” anyway, so it’s possible that a book published by a medical authority that supports the same view might not be questioned by those who already feel that way. We don’t really know the credentials of either the writer of the book or the article.

It may very well be that Bush IS a paranoid megalomaniac, but I doubt that any of his aides or consultants would allude to the press - especially a news service like Capital Hill Blue - that Bush is “loony tunes” and “flies off the handle at the slightest provocation”. That’s what strikes me as odd.

I’m not trying to defend Bush, I’m just skeptical about the veracity of the article.

herpes, goat…lol. i’ll make sure not to read that book. but i agree with josh, the american people have the right know about the health of the president if it affects his/her decisions. if somoneone wants to write their opinion on that by using a book, then by all means, if it means that it pushes someone with credibility to investigate.

I know what your saying mad, but I think the people should be able to look at all of the presidents medical stuff that could potentially have a downfall on what he chooses for our country. Now I’m talking about medication for a depression or some kind of ADHD or things along those lines, If it has somthing to do with herpes that the president got from a goat I don’t want to know about it.

Call me skeptical, but it sounds like the reporter read Frank’s book and created the rest of the situation, using Frank’s book to boost credibility.

Other than the quotes from the book, all the quotes about Bush’s mental instability are from unidentified sources. And why would one of the President’s aides, and a GOP political consultant, tell those kinds of things to the reporter of a maverick internet news site anyway?

That just sends up some red flags with me.
