[Blunderov] Many have wondered about the rather lengthy holidays the president has sometimes taken. Was he really just kickin' back or was he being patched up by his corner?
Then there was the amazing episode of the homicidal pretzel. Perhaps that should read "pratt-fall"?
The Robin Williams take on the incident:
http://www.script-o-rama.com/movie_scripts/r/robin-williams-live-on-broadway -script.html <snip> You know what's strange? It doesn't scare me that W. waved at Stevie Wonder. That's OK. Stevie's only been blind since birth! And there's W. going: "Stevie !" Even Stevie Wonder's going, "Is that mother fucker waving at me? Does he think I'm looking for him? Goddamn!"
No! What scares me is that W almost died from a fucking pretzel. We have billions of dollars in national defense. They want billions more for national security. And he almost fucking goes down from snack food! Secret Service is going: "Games over, man!" "Gilligan's down. Gilligan's down." "Step away from the chip, sir!"
We have to have people go: "Hydrate, you bastard!" His own dogs didn't give a shit. They were licking him for the salt. You need a dog that cares. A dog like Lassie." "What's wrong, Lassie? The President swallowed something and you did the Heimlich?" "What else, girl?" "Mr Channey is meeting with the Enron people?" "An Enron employee is secretary of the Navy?" "What about the Harken loan?" "Sorry, girl, we gonna have to put you down."
Oh, Kenny Boy. The Feds, the Feds are coming. Welcome, boys and girls, to Disney's new ride. Investment pirates of the Caribbean. Your money checks in, it doesn't check out.
Sometimes you catch George unprepared and he says unusual things.- Mr Bush, what are we gonna do? - We're gonna conduct a crusade.
<snip> November Thursday 17th 2005 (19h04) : Bush's breakdown
In recent months, Planetary has received a lengthy and continuous stream of alarming reports concerning the mental health of President George Walker Bush, the 43rd President of the United States of America.
According to reports now swirling through the political community in Washington, President George Bush is suffering through a painful nervous breakdown that was triggered by an acute and recurring outbreak of alcoholism that struck him at the time of Hurricane Katrina.
Informed sources close to the Bush White House attest that the stricken president has become alienated from members of his own nuclear family. Reportedly, the President's relationship with his father has always been difficult, but now communications between Bush, Jr. and Bush, Sr. have come to a standstill. In published accounts, White House sources have confirmed that the afflicted President is no longer capable of speaking to the former President. Stilted and superficial communications between the father and his ailing son are now only possible on formal occasions.
The story published in America this week reports that in order to contain the truth about the President's illness, only a slender and increasingly fragile lifeline to his family has been maintained through his wife, Laura Lane Welch Bush, and his mother, Barbara Walker Bush. Apparently, the President is no longer capable of communicating on a daily basis with his headstrong and carefree daughters, Jenna and Barbara, both of whom have had their own problems with alcohol. The only other people granted access to the sick president are Condoleezza Rice and her deputy, Karen Hughes.
According to these reports, Rice may be functioning as the president at this time of crisis by making decisions on national security and foreign policy as well as the domestic agenda.
Rumors of the president's shattered psyche have been circulating in Washington's psychiatric community for months. More recently, the beltway's tightly knit political intelligentsia have been made aware of the darkening shadow now engulfing the unwell President. From Washington's legal community, Planetary has learned that there is now increasingly serious concern about the President's competence to hold his office.
Whether the White House's covert campaign to shore up the public image of the unpopular President during this dark period will contain the scandal or not remains to be seen.
Against strenuous efforts by the White House to keep the president's breakdown above top secret, the information has finally hit print in the Globe, a popular tabloid that has placed the story on the cover of the current edition dated 21st November. The Globe headline is: "Bush's Secret Breakdown (After Booze Binge): What the White House is hiding from America." According to reports published on the Democratic Underground, this edition of Globe is selling like hotcakes.
Dubya has been pursuing a heavy work schedule lately - he bounced almost immediately from a South American summit to one in East Asia - so this all seems like a combination of Bush-hating wishful thinking, and Bush-hating political false propaganda, designed to illegitimately damage confidence in him in the eyes of those who read it, to me.

And there I weykened that Dees was complaining quite recently about seeing "too many" anti-bush (impossible), "liberal" posts and his being forced to reply to all of them in order to maintain what he fondly imagines is a "balance" (i.e. 50 NeoConArtistTM articles for every other kind of article posted to the CoV BBS by anyone other than Mr Dees, e.g. Darwinism, pill availability, book reviews, biology, philosophy, etc, etc, ad nauseam).

[Blunderov] Yes, isn't it marvelous? And if we just go on saying it will become more and more true. Did you hear about the time he "fell off his mountain bike". Pissed as a tinkers whore they say.

Addictive Drugs What are [...PCP's...] long-term effects? People who use PCP for long periods of time report memory loss, speech difficulties, depression, and weight loss. When given psychomotor tests, PCP users tend to have lost their fine motor skills and short-term memory. Mood disorders have also been reported. PCP has sedative effectives, and interactions with other central nervous system depressants such as alcohol and benzodiazepines can lead to coma or death.

The above is, being a matter of physiological evidence confirming acknowledged drug issues, unarguable.
The NeoConArtists have been claiming that those who failed to swallow their supposed evidence for wars and bigoted agendas at home were "insane", claims which, had you any doubt, are now invalidated by the utter vaporisation of the NeoCon platform. This points to the main difficulty with facile "analysis" of people holding certain opinions - even when the person babbling at the mouth is a "professional" as our Church's neoconartist apologist has repeatedly, gleefully, and invalidly asserted. Nevertheless, given the confirmed diagnosis above, I think that we can suggest that there is sufficient correlation between the balance of the symptoms and the evidence of the Katrina/Rita embroglios and the interminable Iraq saga to assert that these provide ongoing evidence for Acquired Brain Injury.
In order to explain the appearance of similar symptoms in the vastr majority of the followers of the Burning ShrubTM, we need some other mechanism. After all, it seems unlikely that many of them can afford drugs on the lavish scale of their Dear Leader and his cronies. As a working hypothesis, I suggest that my original anecdotal observation has been supported by experience over time. It seems clear that watching FAUX TV causes Acquired Brain Injury with all of the symptoms of severe brain damage.

Bush-haters have variously claimed that he is cluelessly stupid, a malevolent genius, chemically incapacitated, and a reformed Puritanical zealot. The fact that these accusations are logically mutually exclusice does not matter to them; the emotional rush of childish glee which they experience upon making them, and the camaraderie and delight they derive from the supportive chortling of their like-minded cohorts, ovverrides logical and intellectual considerations.
Practically every president experiences such pratfalls as have befallen Bush. Jimmy Carter was no stranger to them, and neither was Bill Clinton.
Bush is one of the most physically active presidents in recent memory, and because of that, he's going to receive some scrapes from time to time. Gerald Ford (a former college football player) fell at least as many times, but was not accused of being brain-fried; instead, he was just assumed to be a klutz. But he was not as heartily hated as Bush, and not by people who harbor political and personal ulterior motives to misportray him in the worst possible light.
