[Bush is as mad as a hatter. Behold the handiwork of the neocons. Republicans
are running for the exits from this mess. Bush needs a major intervention and
some serious cult deprogramming.]
Report: In Meeting, ‘Wild-Eyed’ Bush Thumped Chest While Repeating ‘I Am
The President!Â’ Georgie Anne Geyer writes today in the Dallas Morning
News about President BushÂ’s strange behavior during a recent meeting with
“[f]riends of his from Texas.”
But by all reports, President Bush is more convinced than ever of his
righteousness.
Friends of his from Texas were shocked recently to find him nearly wild-eyed,
thumping himself on the chest three times while he repeated “I am the
president!” He also made it clear he was setting Iraq up so his successor could
not get out of “our country’s destiny.”
This is the second time in recent weeks that accounts have surfaced of Bush
lashing out or “ranting” in private meetings when responding to criticism of
his Iraq policy. Chris Nelson of the Nelson Report offered a similar account
earlier this month:
[S]ome big money players up from Texas recently paid a visit to their friend
in the White House. The story goes that they got out exactly one question, and
the rest of the meeting consisted of The President in an extended whine, a
rant, actually, about no one understands him, the critics are all messed up, if
only people would see what heÂ’s doing things would be OKÂ…etc., etc. This is
called a “bunker mentality” and it’s not attractive when a friend does it. When
the friend is the President of the United States, it can be downright
dangerous. Apparently the Texas friends were suitably appalled, hence the story
now in circulation.
Like the tearful House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH), Bush needs to
channel his bottled up emotions towards a more worthy end — winding down the
war in Iraq rather than defending the status quo.
Digg It!
