Bush's Obscene Tirades Rattle White House Aides

[L.A. BRONCOS FAN]

The "Christian" President in Action

While President George W. Bush travels around the country in a last-ditch effort to sell his Iraq war, White House aides scramble frantically behind the scenes to hide the dark mood of an increasingly angry leader who unleashes obscenity-filled outbursts at anyone who dares disagree with him.

“I’m not meeting again with that go*damned b*tch,” Bush screamed at aides who suggested he meet again with Cindy Sheehan, the war-protesting mother whose son died in Iraq. “She can go to hell as far as I’m concerned!”

Bush flashes the bird, something aides say he does often and has been doing since his days as governor of Texas.

Bush, administration aides confide, frequently explodes into tirades over those who protest the war, calling them “motherf*cking traitors.” He reportedly was so upset over Veterans of Foreign Wars members who wore “bull*hit protectors” over their ears during his speech to their annual convention that he told aides to “tell those VFW a**holes that I’ll never speak to them again is they can’t keep their members under control.”

White House insiders say Bush is growing increasingly bitter over mounting opposition to his war in Iraq. Polls show a vast majority of Americans now believe the war was a mistake and most doubt the President’s honesty.

“Who gives a flying f*ck what the polls say,” he screamed at a recent strategy meeting. “I’m the President and I’ll do whatever I go**amned please. They don’t know sh*t.”

Bush, whiles setting up for a photo op for signing the recent CAFTA bill, flipped an extended middle finger to reporters. Aides say the President often “flips the bird” to show his displeasure and tells aides who disagree with him to “go to hell” or to “go fu*k yourself.” His habit of giving people the finger goes back to his days as Texas governor, aides admit, and videos of him doing so before press conferences were widely circulated among TV stations during those days. A recent video showing him shooting the finger to reporters while walking also recently surfaced.

Bush’s behavior, according to prominent Washington psychiatrist, Dr. Justin Frank, author of “Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President,” is all too typical of an alcohol-abusing bully who is ruled by fear.

To see that fear emerges, Dr. Frank says, all one has to do is confront the President. “To actually directly confront him in a clear way, to bring him out, so you would really see the bully, and you would also see the fear,” he says.

Dr. Frank, in his book, speculates that Bush, an alcoholic who brags that he gave up booze without help from groups like Alcoholics Anonymous, may be drinking again.

“Two questions that the press seems particularly determined to ignore have hung silently in the air since before Bush took office,” Dr. Frank says. “Is he still drinking? And if not, is he impaired by all the years he did spend drinking? Both questions need to be addressed in any serious assessment of his psychological state.”

Last year, Capitol Hill Blue learned the White House physician prescribed anti-depressant drugs for the President to control what aides called “violent mood swings.” As Dr. Frank also notes: “In writing about Bush's halting appearance in a press conference just before the start of the Iraq War, Washington Post media critic Tom Shales speculated that ‘the president may have been ever so slightly medicated.’”

Dr. Frank explains Bush’s behavior as all-to-typical of an alcoholic who is still in denial:

“The pattern of blame and denial, which recovering alcoholics work so hard to break, seems to be ingrained in the alcoholic personality; it's rarely limited to his or her drinking,” he says. “The habit of placing blame and denying responsibility is so prevalent in George W. Bush's personal history that it is apparently triggered by even the mildest threat.”

Says a guy who likes the idea of a drunken sociopath as leader of the free world.

[gunns]

I don't know if he's a drunken sociopath in denial but I've always viewed him as scary. He did little as a young man besides his little escapades. Daddy covered up all his little mistakes. Kids like that rarely grow up and as President those actions are very immature. Never wanted him making decisions because his actions are predictable and fall in line with what was posted above. Most Presidents, with the American public showing such disapproval, would relook at things. I never expected Bush to. It's his way or the highway and being President if people don't want to play his way it doesn't matter because the ball belongs to him.

You really take that "Article" seriously LABF?

It's not the "inconvenience" that bothers me, its the fact that you could post this kinda grabage with any sort of seriousness.

Except that in this case the better president followed his father.

How long before you Taliban christian types put out a Christian Fatuwa ?
Hell Pat Robertson issued one out on Chaves , Fred phelps has issued one on the gay community ....

Exactly. That's why you have a president. Someone has to 'own' the ball. Someone has to make the final decisions.

Decisiveness is a good quality in a president, left or right. Your only complaint is that W's decisions aren't the ones you would make. Were this a decisive democrat making decisions and sticking to them, I suspect you would find the quality admirable.

Would you prefer a president who takes polls every day and changes what he supports based on the polls?

Nah, and the flipping the bird thing at the CAFTA signing is bogus (although I'm sure Bush has flipped people off before :)

[W*GS]

Let's see:

"The habit of placing blame and denying responsibility is so prevalent in William J. Clinton's personal history that it is apparently triggered by even the mildest threat."

Yep, that fits.

So, if Bush is a dry drunk, what were Clinton's personal character flaws? Pathological liar? Intrinsic irresponsibility? Sex addict? All the above?

[Rascal]

And Rho gets it right. No validity to this at all and the source of the article isn't exactly credible.

No my complaint are that the decisions are based on what he wants and not what's best for the country. Everyone makes mistakes, it takes a man (or a woman) to admit it. If the polls indicate my constituents thought I made a mistake, time to assess it and relook at it and make changes. For the people, by the people......

[W*GS]

Just pointing out that Bush's character flaws are nothing new - the last guy in the job had them too.

Honestly, Bush is not some huge departure from past Presidents.

I don't know, I believe most past presidents were able to form simple sentences when speaking without scripted text.

Bush is most certainly a fumblemouth. It hurts my ears and my knowledge of English to hear the guy speak.

"Articulate" is not one of his qualities.

His attempt to portray himself as just a 'good ole boy' is almost as painful.

That article is pathetic no matter what side of the fence you're on.

There might be room for skepticism if this article was the first or only mention of this kind of behavior by Bush.

However, Bush has earned a rep for this kind of behavior since he was Governor of Texas.

Bingo.

It's like Bush's supporters are trying to give him props for "decisively" driving the bus over the cliff.

Insane!

The Guardian indicates this is nothing new:

Common Dream talks about him during the debates:

They also drew a parallel to Nixon:

Think about it. Iraq is unstable, Afghanistan is unstable, America is unstable....

Why would it be such a shock to find out Bush is unstable?

White House Aides Claiming Bush Has "Flipped-Out" Over Anti-War Protestors

http://www.arcticbeacon.com/articles/article/1518131/32261.htm

D.C. News Service reporting Bush has been using obscenities when Cindy Sheehan's name is mentioned. Doug Thompson of Capitol Hill Blue News Service claims staffers telling him they are concerned about Bush's tirades and short temper regarding anyone disagreeing with his policies.

August 25, 2005

By Greg Szymanski

White House aides are leaking reports that President Bush has finally “flipped his lid” over anti-war protestor Cindy Sheehan, screaming obscenities and repeatedly “flipping the bird” at the mention of Sheehan’s name or others disagreeing with his policies.

Washington insider Doug Thompson of Capitol Hill Blue news service said aides close to the President are becoming increasingly concerned about his “short temper and tirades,” directed especially at anyone who questions his war policy and his honesty.

Concerning Cindy Sheehan, the mother who lost her son in Iraq and has camped out near his Crawford TX ranch for two weeks, Thompson reported that Bush told members of his staff:

“I am not meeting again with that goddamned b*tch,” Bush supposedly screamed to staffers. “She can go to hell as far as I am concerned.”

The White House today denied the President ever used vulgar language, directed at Sheehan or any other person or group opposing his policies.

“The President remains level-headed and calm,” a White House spokesman said.

However, Thompson reported sources told him the President is becoming increasingly agitated, flipping-off staffers and reporters similar to his behavior widely reported during his days as Texas governor.

While Bush travels the country trying to garner support for the war, the grieving mother, who has become the central figure in a growing war protest movement, returned to Crawford Wednesday after leaving the protest site to be by her mother who recently suffered a stroke.

Although Bush has refused to meet with Sheehan during his five week ranch vacation, Sheehan said he really means the noble cause for the war is “to line the pockets of his rich friends” profiting from an illegal war started without proper justification.

Since arriving in Crawford, Sheehan has been the lightning rod for anti-war protestors across the nation, drawing support from numerous peace groups and others disenchanted with the mounting GI death toll now at more than 1,850.

For the final weekend of the war protest, numbers are expected to swell into the tens of thousands as protestors on both sides of the war issue converge on the small Texas town, hoping to get their voices heard.

Regarding Bush’s angry behavior, if true, Washington psychiatrist, Dr. Justin Frank, in his recent book titled “Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President” said the President’s behavior is typical of a recovering alcoholic.

Dr. Frank said it is common for alcoholics to have set-backs, reverting to bullish behavior and emotional outbursts, especially when their character and integrity is put on the line. He also speculates in his book that Bush “may be drinking again” since he continually boasts about giving up alcohol without the help of Alcoholics Anonymous, a sign that the President may still be in the denial stage and susceptible to returning to the bottle.

And according to Thompson, Bush’s behavior has been extremely erratic recently, flying-off the handle regarding recent polls showing declining support of the war as well as flipping the bird to reporters at a recent CAFTRA bill-signing ceremony.

Thompson also reports that Presidential aides told him that Bush continually refers to war protestors as “m……fu…..traitors” and became extremely upset at reports of VFW members wearing ‘bull**** protectors” over their ears at a recent speech, saying:

“Tell those VFW assholes that I’ll never speak to them again if they can’t keep their members under control.”

[L.A. BRONCOS FAN]

This kind of behavior is nothing new for Bush

In early April 1986, for instance, George W. was miffed at a prediction by the Wall Street Journal's Al Hunt that Jack Kemp -- not Vice President Bush -- would win the GOP nomination in 1988. At a Dallas restaurant, Bush spotted Hunt having dinner with his wife, Judy Woodruff, and their four-year-old son.

Bush stormed up to the table and started cursing out Hunt. "You [expletive] son of a b*tch," Bush yelled. "I saw what you wrote. We're not going to forget this."

Bush supporters have excused the governor's behavior that occurred before his 40th birthday on the grounds that Bush was still drinking heavily in those days. [WP, July 25, 1999]

But even recently, Bush has demonstrated a startling lack of compassion. In an obscenity-laced interview with conservative writer Tucker Carlson for Talk, Bush ridiculed convicted murderer Karla Faye Tucker and her unsuccessful plea to Bush to spare her life.

Asked about Karla Faye Tucker's clemency appeal, Bush mimicked what he claimed was the condemned woman’s message to him. "With pursed lips in mock desperation, [Bush said]: 'Please don't kill me'."
