Does Bush’s belief in victory prove that he’s mental?

Ummm. No.

Does Bill Clinton’s need to be loved prove he’s mental?

Yes.

This is the biggest pile of steaming dog squeeze I have ever read, considering it comes from a freaking psychiatrist. When a little boy comforts his Mother in the worst of times, I think it shows a sensitive caring son who is mature beyond his years, who has leadership skills and coupled with a degree from Yale would grow up and serve two terms as President of these United States. OH can I write a book now?

Sharon Begley of Newsweek …..

This could all be dismissed as psychobabble, ~~except for one thing~~.

A trained and disciplined journalist knows where to draw the line.

What is “mental” is saying that the Iraq War is lost. It isn’t.

Anyone else think the question wording is a little odd?

“Do you think that the U.S. war in Iraq is lost, or don’t you think so?”

RightWinged on May 15, 2007 at 7:14 PM

This question is so badly written that I thought it was a joke that Allahpundit wrote to be funny.

Somehow, though, despite it being an incredibly bad question that was obviously written to try to skew the responses toward the war being unwinnable, the majority of respondents still managed to say that they think we can win the war.

I just wish he’d lose it and eradicate Iran’s nuke program in a fugue state.

He can even listen to Bach while doing it if it’ll help.

Yes, it is akward sounding.

In WWII the French gave up when they could have put up a winning fight with the righ leadership. Remember THEY won WWII along with the other allies. They only lost because their leadership SAID they had lost. We’ll win in Iraq (ie. stabilize the country and then leave) only if the Losercrats stay out of the way.

Are these the same psychiatrists and psychologists who invented post-election-stress disorders to comfort Kerry voters in 2004?

W]hile it’s always risky to psychoanalyze a politician from afar, a few things in his past are consistent with the capacity for denial. When he was 7, his baby sister died of leukemia. Bush, while certainly not denying her death, tried to cheer up his grieving mother, saying everything would be OK.

Let’s fix that to make it more accurate:
While it’s always risky to psychoanalyze a journalist from afar, a few things in the past are consistent with the capacity for denial. When Newsweek was popular, it’s circulation grew. Leftie editors, while denying their irrelevance and plummeting sales, tried to cheer up their stockowners saying everything would be okay.

Begley earned a B.A. from Yale University

B.A. from her bio… no doctorate… Can you say practicing medicine without a license?

Anyone see The Rock?

Stan Goodspeed: “I’ll do my best.”
Mason: “You’re best. Losers always wine about their best. Winners go home and expletive-deleted the prom queen!”
Stan Goodspeed: “Carla was the prom queen.”
Mason: “Really?”
Stan Goodspeed: “Yeah!”

On all sides this war could be solved with a gracious application of the bootay. Islamic fundies wouldn’t have to blowthemselves up to get an orgy in paradise and the leftist basement dwellers would get over their case of BDS.

RightWinged on May 15, 2007 at 7:14 PM

I agree, RightWinged. It’s like, “You do think the war is lost, don’t you?”

It couldn’t be that Bush is a patriot and even though he is troubled by the war in Iraq, he feels it is incumbent on him as the leader of the free world to keep a stiff upper lip and lead this country to victory in the ideological fight of the century that, if lost as the traitorous dems want, will have catostrophic effects throughout the world.

I think that the US Military did an incredible job of Subduing one of the largest deployed military forces in the world and have continued to exemplify themselves day in and day out since then.

Back in the US, Democratic Politicians and the Main Stream Media have conspired to use all of the tools in their power to force a defeat politically where none could have possibly occurred militarily.

We have not lost in Iraq. We did magnificent. The America Hating, Maichael Moore left has disgraced themselves and tarnished the American reputation once again.

When the face of American will is Nancy Pelosi, what country in their right mind would trust us to have a backbone?

Get real.

Psychoanalyzing these pollsters and media types from afar, I can tell that they:

- are lost
- lost it
- will lose it if they don’t win in 2008
- are irreversibly psychotic

Someone, quick, ask the the “leading lights” if she’s spent any time on HuffPo, Daily Kos, MyDD, DU etc. and tell us what she thinks about the mental state of those sickos!! Especially today… Until she and her ilk do that, I consider her one of the tinfoil hatted leftist loon wackos!

This “analysis” is typically asinine for the enemedia. What did they expect 7-year-old George to do, declare the family a lost cause and “redeploy” to a foster home?

ReubenJCogburn on May 15, 2007 at 7:00 PM

If only the family had just picked up and moved to Okinawa, George woulda turned out okay.

Man, ‘W’ was one wacked-out seven-year-old.
