AP: Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich questioned President Bush's mental health in light of comments he made about a nuclear Iran precipitating World War III.
"I seriously believe we have to start asking questions about his mental health," Kucinich, an Ohio congressman, said in an interview with The Philadelphia Inquirer's editorial board on Tuesday. "There's something wrong. He does not seem to understand his words have real impact."[..]
"You cannot be a president of the United States who's wanton in his expression of violence," Kucinich said. "There's a lot of people who need care. He might be one of them. If there isn't something wrong with him, then there's something wrong with us. This, to me, is a very serious question."

Kucinich is right!
He doesn't understand his actions have consequences also.
I've been questioning his mental health for 6 years!
at this point, I am begining to believe that Kucinich would make a great president. He is fearless of the establishment, and that would make for very effective decision making. It is clear that the top candidates are constantly hamstrung by trying to play to the crowd.
Meanwhile, the DEMS DEBATE ‘UFOS’: HILLARY’S ‘UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBFUSCATIONS’
Right frickin' on, Dennis!!! I've been wondering about this since Bu$h was just putting on his governor pants. He's one seriously messed up fucktard... no question about it--he's mentally unstable!
Finally! Someone sane!
Isn't he the candidate that said out loud that the other Dems are corporate candidates and possibly not even owned by American interests anymore?
All I need in a bumper sticker: "Kucinich in '08? HELL YES."
He ain't the first though. I think even some GOOD RePUGs hope we get through the his term without more damage to the country, the laws and our standing in the world.
I know, I wonder if we can get through this time without too much damage to the people and the earth.
Maybe if we pray?
The Republicans have hid the mental state of past presidents (President Reagan) so why should they treat President Bush any different? But this is not all they are hiding from us.
No one in the Bush admin seems to think that they're words have impact, despite the fact that they revel in their power as world leaders. That's what's truly frightening about them.
That's the second time I've heard wanton used to describe a Bushie in as many days. It makes me want to whip out Photoshop and find a bowl of Wonton soup and convert it to Wanton soup by putting images of the Bush administration in it.
As glad as I am that President Gump's mental health is finally being questioned in public, did it have to be from the little guy with a smoking hot 6' 2" wife who occasionally sees UFOs?
This should keep FAUX News occupied for a month.
It's about damn time! The big problem occurs when, if Bush was to leave office (eh...Rrrigght, like that would happen) we would be left with President Cheney!
This guy is a stand up guy(no pun here my friend) I would like to see him and ron paul on the same ticket.I would like dennis to be prez and and ron vice prez.
Anyone who is so obsessed with violence, death, torture, and the destruction of others, like herr dubyah, is clearly a sociopath who doesn't deserve the right to call themselves an "American".
if he didn't say something about UFO's he would have been more credible
Seems to me, that Kucinich won the debate, I mean look at how much his name is being mentioned now, and not just here....maybe, juuuuust maybe American voters will get a chance to vote for this man in the general election...if we even have one that is...
Meanwhile the "riechwing" is saying that DK sees UFOs so don't listen to him. Attack the messenger not the message.
Well, Denny ain't the only one....JD
Dennis hit the nail right on the head with that assessment! It is only too bad that the American public and the Congress, though they may have exactly the same thoughts, continue to do nothing about the madman (madmen) in the WH.
Impeach then charge with war crimes, try, sentence and carry out the sentences on the Mall in DC.
Check this out. It's been posted before but, I think it shows a lot about Bush's condition.

Wow, yet another reason to support Kucinich. What will it take to get this guy some votes?
Dr. Matt @ 15:
...or human for that matter.
"Every decision I make, I make with war on my mind." - George Bush II
Because Bush is presented as an authority figure, many people automatically believe that he is sane, just, wise, honorable and intelligent. There is no shaking their undying trust and worship of authority.
To these people, Dennis is just engaging in an unfounded personal attack.
I'm afraid that he is preaching to the choir.
I'm glad he said it though.
at least one candidate can see what the emperor is wearing
Not one word about Mike Gravels alternative debate that he spent 20,000 dollars of his own money to set up? To fight against corporate censorship?? instead you throw us clips of CNN who are part of the problem with a clip of Kucinich who was a total coward and never even mentioned as the rest of them that "where's Gravel?"
Politics as usual. Everywhere you turn. so disheartening.
Kucinich was the most honest and straightforward in the debate last night. Calling for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney multiple times made me cheer. We can't get rid of these guys fast enough, and prevent them from damaging this country and the world any more than they have. I think many Americans have been questioning the Mental health of POTUS. In any event, we need to impeach them now!
Sure, Kucinich would be sweet, love to vote for him...oh wait, I'm from Michigan, so I can't vote for him...oh, wait, I can, but only because he didn't pull his name off the primary ballot in time.....
Folks, let's face it. This guy is *not* The Great Left Hope. He might have good ideas but he really ain't so good at getting things done. He's still the dude who'd bring a pie chart to a radio show.
He sounds more like he has the clinical definition of Antisocial Personality Disorder rather than being a true sociopath. Clinical symptoms are: Sense of entitlement; Unremorseful; Apathetic to others; Unconscionable behavior; Blameful of others; Manipulative and conning; Affectively cold; Disparate understanding; Socially irresponsible; Disregardful of obligations; Nonconforming to norms; Irresponsible.
Sounds just like Bush.
What's funny is that they are saying "he said he saw a UFO" so he has nothing credible to say... pot calling the kettle black - "bush has a mental problem? You just said you SAW a UFO!" but the real thing here is the question of the people saying this...
Basically, Bush has said he communicates to God. Direct quote from Ol' Bushy "And I did, and then God would tell me, "George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq …" And I did. And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me". So THIS... this is OK? But seeing a UFO isn't? Seeing a UFO brings your credibility into question but saying that GOD TALKED TO YOU is SANE and CREDIBLE?
Please. If anything, UFOs have some photographic evidence that has yet to be disproved. I ain't seen God in a photo, unless you want to count all those Jesus images people imagine they see growing in mold or made of potato chips.
Wasn't it recently revealed that Bush suffers and has been treated for Lyme Disease? Here are just some of the symtoms:
Psychological well-being
Mood swings, irritability, bi-polar disorder
Unusual depression
Disorientation (getting or feeling lost)
Feeling as if you are losing your mind
Over-emotional reactions, crying easily
Too much sleep, or insomnia
Difficulty falling or staying asleep
Narcolepsy, sleep apnea
Panic attacks, anxiety
Mental Capability
Memory loss (short or long term)
Confusion, difficulty in thinking
Difficulty with concentration or reading
Going to the wrong place
Speech difficulty (slurred or slow)
Stammering speech
Forgetting how to perform simple tasks
Reproduction and Sexuality
Loss of sex drive
Sexual dysfunction
Unexplained menstral pain, irregularity
Unexplained breast pain, discharge
Testicular or pelvic pain
So, as those Brave New Films ads say: Do something. And yet.....impeachment is off the table. We are so through the looking glass...I think we're through two looking glasses.
Ex-Canuck @ 20:
I could not agree more! Is the punishment for treason, death by hanging, or firing squad?
I gotta say, this is one of Mr. Kucinich's "moments", where he really shows his true colors, and he's got my vote..."If there isn't something wrong with him, there's something wrong with us" indeed. SImply worded and powerfully stated. He has told us, and he has told us in a way that we cannot ignore. Keep speaking out, Mr. K...
For a short man, he has some big balls!
donviti @ 16:
Exactly, because that's what the wingnuts are going to come back with if need be. Then again, he's not exactly a threat to go anywhere in the race.
I've been saying for 6 years that Bush suffers from early dementia brought on by alcohol abuse, as well as a great number of narcissistic characteristics--possibly narcissistic personality disorder. Too bad it's only being said in public now.
beverins @ 31:
Agreed.
Jimmy Carter submitted a report about seeing an "unidentified flying object". It didn't make him crazy. He just said that he saw an "object" that appeared to be "flying" that he couldn't "identify".
Pelosi'll force him to recant in 10...9...8...7...6...
woody @ 39:
Not Dennis. He'll politely tell her to go f**k herself.
Spock @ 35:
Only his clothier knows for sure.
"In response, Republican National Committee spokesman Dan Ronayne said it was hard to take Kucinich seriously."
No, it's our president it's hard to take seriously. Kucinich is dead on.
More important: what medications is Bushler being given? At the very least, he looks like he's got the 1000-meter stare that very often accompanies 'statin buzz'.
I've seen the Prozac-addled lose houses and cars because they didn't think keeping up with payments was "a big deal," and Ambien isn't a joke either.
Effexor? Paxil? Strattera, for His suspected ADD?
Let's remember back to 'Pills' Limbaugh, who from the police reports had quite an OxyContin habit. Mr. Limbaugh claimed he needed the pills for a very painful back. Forget for a moment that His Imperial Roundness had been filmed many times on golf courses, joyously taking unencumbered swings... Oh, the back! The agonizing back!
Anyway, after his bust and the long stint in rehab, 'Pills' came out and told his audience he was 'clean' and 'never felt better'. Hmm. I wondered: what NEW medication or medications is Bluffy-baugh on, that so quickly replace the euphoria his system became accustomed to when he was chewing 20 OxyContins a day? Endogenous feel-goods take a long time to get working again, kind of like a pitcher who hasn't thrown a ball in two years. Ouch, goes the arm. Dysphoria, goes the cold-turkeyed patient.
And what 'miracle' pain reliever did Rushbo's doctors deploy, in lieu of the O-C's potent analgesia? Ibuprofen? Suuuure.
And that's just a medical conundrum re: sex vacationer Limbaugh, whose bloated tongue can barely move a young boy's weenie, over in the Dominican Republic.
Bushie's tongue, and pen, on the other hand, can move fleets of new-Q-lerr bomb-laden B-52s. What's ol' GW being fed by *his* Dr. Theo Morell?
One of Cheney's attending cardiologists was kicked off that plum job, not long ago....and he lost his spot as head-of-department at one of the big med schools, because he was writing opioid scripts for himself and in hefty quantities. Stadol was a favorite. MDs with brains know to avoid hammering (their) stomach and liver, apparently, when doping.
Can we see a list of the Preznit's medications, please? A late friend of mine recently pushed his rusty old Harley under the back of a semi. He was 'on' Ativan from his MD and Vicodin from his oral surgeon. And he had discovered that alcohol made a pleasant addition to the two drugs. Unmedicated, we're certain that he would have been wary of the old bike's bald, dried-out tires and wads of jury-rigged electrical tape...and would not have played the "let's see how fast we kin GO" game on a rolling pitch-dark 2-lane, with an unreliable electrical system.
It's a damned shame, but doesn't Lyle's Last Motorsickle Mistake sound exactly like our Herr Bushler?
And on a different mystery altogether:
Why didn't the Pentagon's multiple air-to-ground missile batteries engage the attacking aircraft, on 9-11-01? I can't seem to find any mention of those batteries, not even a lone Stinger poked out a bathroom window; not a word about the Pentagon's defenses, in the cOmmission's report...
Liberal AND Proud @ 41:
Sir. Do you dress to the left, or the right?
bob @ 18:
Yea, this from the political wing that thinks a man is going to rise from the dead and deliver them to heaven. Not only is Bush nuts and dangerous, so are his followers.
Thankfully Kucinich has the balls to step up to the plate and ask what many sensible folks have been wondering for some time: Is our presnit deranged?
What about the mental health of the idiots who voted the a-hole into office two times?
The bulk of the MSM is going to use Kucinich's pointing out of the obvious to make it look as if it is he who is the nutcase. This is going to backfire on them. They are getting seriously out of touch with the pulse of the nation. Remember that picture of Dewey holding up the headline that said "Dewey Wins"?
jtmonty46 @ 38:
Any sailor that has spent any reasonable time at sea would admit that they have seen "unidentified flying object" at one time or another.
Question: To be or not to be?
boosh's answer: Five.
ufo doesn't mean aliens...unidentified flying object doesn't imply aliens...he could have seen the sr-72...
#46, you said it.
Too many people use the term Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) synonymously with flying saucers.
Once something's been identified as a flying saucer, it's no longer unidentified.
And to me too! This was worth repeating!
liberalNmoderation @ 33:
I think it's retirement with a full pension, plus a million-dollar book deal. Punishment is for the serfs...
Kucinich has ZERO chance of winning in 2008, but he deserves to be heard. He raises an excellent point regarding Chimpy. For years, I've questioned Chimpy's mental stability....and for years, the White House has leaked stories about how he asks smart questions, is engaged in meetings, and even how much he loves to read books.
Sounds like overcompensation to me.
Chimpy is what he is. A slow-witted, inarticulate, shithead. He's more interested in baseball than he is in world policy. And please don't feed me that garbage that he graduated from Yale. He was a legacy who had no business even being admited into that school...but his family's money speaks volumes.
Add Chimpy's alcohol and cocaine abuse, and he killed what few brain cells were operating.

That depends on which side of the bed she's still asleep on.
I think perhaps he is right.
So, was Tim Russert once again in collusion with the RNC when he asked DK about ever seeing a UFO in order to label him a crackpot? (/rhetorical ?)
Reagan saw UFOs several times. Here’s the first story:
Ronald Reagan’s daughter Patti Davis described her father as “fascinated with stories about unidentified flying objects and the possibility of life on other worlds.” She compared the “madness” of her father’s inauguration day to “a fifty’s movie in which flying saucers descend on the metropolis.”
Reagan may have gained this intense interest from sightings he had while he was Governor of California. Kitty Kelly in her Unauthorized Biography of Nancy Reagan stated Reagan admitted to believing in flying saucers, and “even swore that he had seen a few unidentified flying objects.”
Two of these Reagan UFO encounters have become public. The first sighting story was made public by Steve Allen on his WNEW-AM radio show in New York. Allen stated that a well know personality in the entertainment industry had confided a UFO story to him many years before. As the story had already made the rounds in the rumor mill, there was no question the comedian and host was referring to Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy.
Ron and Nancy were expected at a casual dinner party with friends in Hollywood. Except for the Reagans, all the guests had arrived. Ron and Nancy showed up a half hour later quite upset. They stated that they had seen a UFO coming down the coast.
Lucille Ball in her book “Lucy in the Afternoon” also described the event. In her account of the event she stated, “After he elected President, I kept thinking about that event, and wondered if he still would have won if he told everyone that he saw a flying saucer.”

"If there isn’t something wrong with him, then there’s something wrong with us."
This should be the slogan of the Kucinch campaign.
About damn time!
Bush is nuts! Go, Kucinich, go!
Here’s the second Regan UFO story:
Norman C. Millar, then Washington Bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal, later the editor of the Los Angeles Times. Reagan told Millar:
“I was in a plane last week when I looked out the window and saw this white light. It was zigzagging around. I went up to the pilot and said, ‘Have you seen anything like that before?’ He was shocked and said, ‘Nope.’ And I said to him: ‘Let’s follow it!’
We followed it for several minutes. It was a bright white light. We followed it to Bakersfield, and all of a sudden to our utter amazement it went straight up into the heavens. When we got off the plane, I told Nancy all about it.’
The pilot of Governor Reagan plane was Bill Paynter, and he backed up Reagan’s version of the incident with the UFO.
I was the pilot of the plane when we saw the UFO. Also, on board were Governor Reagan and a couple of his security people. We were flying a Cessna Citation. It was maybe nine or ten o’clock at night. We were near Bakersfield when Governor Reagan and the others called my attention to a big light flying a bit behind the plane.
It appeared to be several hundred yards away. It was a fairly steady light until it began to accelerate, then it appeared to elongate. The light took off. It went up at a 45-degree angle - at a high rate of speed. Everyone on the plane was surprised.
Governor Reagan expressed amazement. I told the others I didn’t know what it was. The UFO went from a normal cruise speed to a fantastic speed instantly. If you give an airplane power it will accelerate - but not like a hotrod, and that is what this was like.
We didn’t file a report on the object because for a long time they considered you a nut if you saw a UFO.
Paynter added the UFO incident didn’t stop there. He stated that he and Reagan had discussed their UFO sighting “from time to time” in the years following the incident.
Reagan, in his discussion of the sighting with Norman C. Miller added that he had told Nancy about the UFO he had seen, and they had done personal research on UFOs. This research had uncovered the facts that there were references to UFOs in Egyptian hieroglyphics. Reagan was telling his story in a very animated way. This led Miller to conclude that Reagan seriously believed in UFOs. He asked him, “Governor, are you telling me that you saw a UFO?”
Suddenly, according to Miller, Reagan realized that he was talking to a reporter. “This look crossed his face,” recalled Miller, “and he said let’s just say that I’m an agnostic.”

dennis kucinich is, for me, the only dem candidate worth voting for. he is the one candidate that has integrity, courage and honesty. and, he backs up his views with house resolutions.
the dem establishment should be horrified of kucinich, next to him they look like weak and cowardly corporate teet suckers (because they are).
in dem circles i keep hearing the 'oh, i like him but he is not electable', which drives me nuts. this is a self-fulfilling prophecy--he is "unelectable" simply because you decided so. use your vote to support a man that is a true man of the people, instead of throwing it away on the pitiful other dem candidates.
consider his positions and nationwide support of these issues:
-he wants troops out of iraq now.
-not-for-profit healthcare.
-curtailment of corporate welfare.
-calling NAFTA/CAFTA/WTO what they are: unfair and deleterious. and then stop them. there is nothing "free" or "fair" about them.
-increasing the taxes on the uber-rich.
these platforms scare the bejesus out of the political elite. they know that of people really were to understand what kucinich stands for and the implications of his policy ideas had on the "average" american he would be the next president. instead, the media spends its time talking about BS issues like ufos, his "unelectability", etc.
support kucinich--anything else is a disservice to the country.
jay @ 4:
COULD NOT AGREE MORE. even when he was asked about the ufo incident, one could see some hesitation with regard, should i answer this knowing full well the smear campaign that would surely follow. rather than hedge, he answered truthfully. he had seen a ufo, he saw something that was unidentified. the commentators could barely stifle their laughter. they had "trapped" this man into admitting he was missing a few marble. But they underestimate us. we have power, and we don't enen phantom the strength of that power. Kucinich is fearless. every once in a while we run across someone who is unafraid and will stand up to the establishment. WE'VE FOUND ONE IN KUCINICH. Without us, the man does not stand a chance. the media has written him off. and as we all know, the media controls this country. now, the question really is, who controls the media. our lone progressive station in San Diego is in the process of transforming into another talk show sports station. but the right wing certainly has their slots. and they have the unmitigated gall to proclaim that the media is controlled by the left. i say bullshit. if you believe that then join your counterparts in the kansas trailerparks. can we all get together and find ways to push kucinich to the forefront. what a president he would make!!!
Okay, Dennis, don't break my heart now.
No apologies. No retractions. No clarifications or rephrasings or capitulation to phony-baloney outrage bullying.
This is how you lead. This is how you govern. Above all things, this first: speak truth without apology.
Godspeed, Dennis. I've now added one Democrat back onto my list of folks I'm willing to vote for.
Here’s the story of Jimmy Carter’s UFO sighting:
As previously mentioned, Jimmy Carter is one of two U.S. Presidents who have reported seeing a UFO before becoming the President….
Carter’s UFO sighting began shortly after dark on a windless night. Jimmy Carter was standing outside the Lion’s Club in Leary, Georgia, waiting for a meeting to start. Suddenly, he and ten or more witnesses, sighted a red and green orb radiating in the western sky. Carter described an object that “it seemed to move towards us from a distance, stop, move partially away, return, then depart. Bluish at first; then reddish - luminous - not solid.”
“At times,” reported Carter, “it was as bright as the moon, and about as big as the moon - maybe a bit smaller. The object was luminous; not solid.”
In an interview with the Atlanta Constitution, Carter described the moving nature of the event. He described the sighting as a “very remarkable sight.” This is an important event, because many of the skeptical investigations done on the Carter sighting, have tried to paint the event as a ho-hum occurrence. None of the descriptions Carter has made of the event have ever described it as ho-hum.
Jimmy Carter’s mother Lillian also confirmed that Carter had been very impressed by what he had seen. “The UFO made a huge impression on Jimmy,” she stated. “He told me about the sighting many times. He’s always been a down-to-earth no-nonsense boy, and the sighting by him, as far as I am concerned, is as firm as money in the bank.”
Carter had, in fact, described the UFO sighting many times in the years since it occurred. In every instance, including the latest known telling of the story at Emory University in 1997, Carter has never backed off on the spectacular nature of the event. He has also never conceded that was he saw was some misidentification of a natural phenomena.
Carter estimated that the object was three hundred to one thousand yards away. He estimated that the event had lasted 10 minutes. Then the object disappeared. Carter was so impressed by what he had seen, he recorded his impressions of the event on a tape recorder at the time.

jackie gleason claimed that richard nixon showed him dead alien remains at some air base...weird eh?...
Isn't it refreshing that somebody is willing to acknowledge the elephant in the middle of the room. I've thought he was nuts for years, and I'm not fooling. He's more than an idiot....he's a dangerous loon who is absent from reality. If that's not "crazy", what the hell is?
Lano @ 14:
Okay. I stopped here and haven't read the rest of the thread. No offense, Lano. But imo Kucinich and Paul could not be more opposite. They may agree on the war. But Ron Paul, while refreshingly frank, makes Ronald Reagan look like a big-government liberal when it comes to domestic socio-economic issues.
Do you disagree? How would Ron Paul be good for America, other than ending the war?
How can two countries have a "nuclear standoff" when one of the countries doesn't even have nukes?
What a childish collection of losers the GOP are.
woody @ 39:
Republicans would prefer to let this one stand. Even Karl Rove couldn't have thought of a better scenario- Dems actually talking about UFOs at a presidential debate.
Free speech. Give him the microphone.
it's not too early to begin the door to door, the hit the streets, the pass out shirts, hats bumper stickers proclaiming that Kucinich is your candidate. if we choose to wait any longer, it will indeed be too late. we have to make him a force now. those who kick back and profess that he is your candidate THAT IS NOT ENOUGH. you can't wait for others to do it. the call to action is now. we need some direction as to where to focus our energy. do not be controlled by the media. they are the school yard bully.
Timmah! @ 46:
Anyone who voted for him belongs strappped to a bed in an asylum for the rest of their lives where they can do this nation no more harm.
i also read the first thing carter and clinton did as presidents was to try and find out what the us govt knew about ufo's and were told not to go there...
dennis @ 72:
BLAME THAT NOT ON THE CANDIDATES
dennis @ 72:
BLAME THAT NOT ON THE CANDIDATES
Kucinich is done. This is the end of his race, now this UFO thing will be thrown at him, each time he'll try to make sense.
This is sad, he was my very favorite, although i'm not american...
Paul @ 47:
Twas Truman holding that newspaper.
Turk Meister @ 59:
Ding-ding-ding! We have another winner! Yes, Tim Russert, mother fucker that he is, is absolutely in collusion with the RNC!Remember the last debate when he falsely claimed that Kucinich had bankrupted Cleveland back when he was Mayor? Amazing!!
Tim Russert, you lying dumbass, fuck off!
Freakaloin @ 75:
He was shot down by the then head of the CIA, one George H. W. Bush, if I remember correctly.
Either one would be good for our sinking country. Ron Paul would get the Federal Government out of our lives by restoring states rights and civil rights. Restoring our civil liberaties would be about the same with either. Both speak their minds and don't worry about how it plays to the various groups. The only problem I have with Ron is his desire to over turn Wade - Rove
no longer a proud american @ 77:
Sorry, hit the wrong key. once again, blame that not on the candidates but on the toady commentators. whether they are pushing the right wing cause or ratings, they did it knowing full well the impact it would have. they moved the debate first to a discussion of UFO'S and then they directed their focus to hillary's comment regarding licensing undocumented. the media is filled with nothing but water carrying toadies and they surely are at the bottom of brining this country down.
I know Navy pilots who joke about after flying a new prototype or experimental plane that they hear about a ton of UFO sightings from locals. It is funny to them because they will fly low with tons of crazy lights on these planes and get a kick out of the response. To a regular person, these experimental planes are Unidentified flying objects because they have never seen anything like it. This is why Pensacola, FL has such a large amount UFO sightings.
Kucinich has my vote.
Rollo Tomassi @ 12:
Let's not forget that Senator and former astronaut John Glenn also claimed to have seen a UFO (though it is commonly explained as debris from his heat shield).
RIGHT ON DENNIS!
Dennis says what needs to be said, no holds barred. The sad thing is
though the media is going to spin it in a way as to make Dennis look
crazy and they'll go ape shit to try and get him to apologize. This is
the real major problem with our country today, the chicken
shit media and how they have become propagandists and pawns that
stamp out the truth every chance they get.
Not only has the Chimp's mental health been in question for the last six years, but his intelligence, antisocial tendencies, and narcissism.
As regards Bush, He fits the profile of the typical serial murderer: he has no conscience. His sense of moral outrage is limited to exclusively that which occurs to his own person. He is incapable of empathy. His is incapable of shame. He is a predator, who blames his victims for his own crimes against them. He is incapable of according objective rerality to anyone other than himself. His highest reality is his own being - he is not convinced in his guts that any other exists in an independent existence. One of his most highly developed skills is justifiying himself to himself. He is a reflexive liar. Insatiable hunger for power. He will never expend one quanta of his own energy developing his own inate power as a human being; instead he will spend his life attempting to steal other's inate power as human beings from them. He is convinced that he is smarter and more wily than the sheep who he preys upon or who would bring him to accounts - that no one can catch him (you know that smirk?). It goes on....
In so far as the world of sociopathic/psychopathic serial murderers goes, Bush has had an advantage in that he has had the ability to commit his murderers using the cover of official duty, from within the protection of official office. Essentially, he has obtained, first as governor and now as Dictatorial Warlord of Amerika, a license to kill. So long as he has had the excuse of either denying clemency or "defending" something, he has been able to indulge in an orgy of death. He got to sign that death warrant. He got to order an invasion. He got to order a surge. It is probably just as "satisfying" to him as if he was personally wrung the life from all those who have perished by result of his orders - he still ends being able to believe that he is amassing power at the ultimate expense of others.
Like any serial killer, as long as Bush has the means and the opportunity, he will never stop killing. It is a life-long irresistable compulsion for him.
Odds are, Bush is never going to be brought to justice, either. And he represents a neocon/conservative/GOP ideal.
littlehorn @ 78:
Fear not my friend. This is only the beginning: this is EXACTLY what could catapult him (FINALLY) out of complete obscurity into the mainstream prsss. To this very day I ask friends and acquaintances alike what they think of Dennis Kucinich and their response EVERYTIME (yes, EVERYTIME) is "Who's Dennis Kucinich?" And you know the old adage, "there's no such thing as bad publicity?" Well Dennis. up to now. has had NO publicity. Even at the debates he's marginalized and kept from the general discussion - it wasn't after 20 minutes last night before he was even asked a question and that was simply a follow up from some other candidate!
If people hear the name "Kucinich," and if even HALF of them bother to look him up on the internet, they are going to soon find out that his stance on the issues (ending the war NOW, free single-payer universal health care, etc) totally aligns to theirs, and they will vote for him. Believe me! This can do wonders for his campaign.
I vote for alcohol induced dementia
Another symptom is telling the same stories or asking the same questions over and over, with no recollection that the questions have just been asked and answered. In conversation they may repeat the same piece of information[/link] 20 times, remaining wholly unaware that they are repeating the same thing in absolutely stereotyped expression.
Remarkably, at the same time they can seem to be in complete possession of their faculties -- able to reason well, drawing correct deductions, makes witty remarks, or playing games that require mental skills, such as chess or cards.
Kucinich Questions Bush’s Mental Health - and then he admits to the "Shirley MacClaine UFO story" on national television.

God bless you Kucinich. God bless you.
Are we now going to have a resolution condemning Kunich because he said bush has a mental health problem. I guess the democrats will trip and fall all over themselves trying to be the one to introduce it.
OxyCon @ 92:
Again...Reagan saw one, Carter saw one...big fuckin deal, admitting too seeing a damn UFO is NOTHING, AND I MEAN NOTHING compared to what Bushy's doin to this country.
That won't work to discredit Kucinich, just as it didn't for Reagan or Carter.
I wondered many years ago about Dumbya's mental health.
Bush was looney before he stole the White House. No wonder the rest of the world is laughing at us.
A summary of Busholini's mental illnesses:
http://www.squadron13.com/JackDresser/psychoanalysis.htm
Theory: Deniss' smoking hot wife is a UFO freak. She swoons for any man equally passionate about UFO's. Dennis must propagate some sort of belief in UFO's to keep her turned on.
I can't blame him. I'd say I believed in UFO's, little green men, or compasionate conservatism had I the chance at such a hottie.
President Bush, prove to the American people you are mentally competent to remain in office.
Release the Roswell documents now.
Agent Scully will be your worst nightmare.
Oh, and if UFO's are bunk, why is it that we have a national plan for contact with extraterrestrials, and why did Rudy Giuliani say that - as president - he would protect us from space aliens if need be?
liberalNmoderation @ 95:
You speak what should be the truth. However, the above forementioned were not operating in a dumbed-down media environment when Britney Spears' vagina is more important than a war, or the constitution.
Dr. Acula @ 79:
Dr.Acula,
Oops. Yer Right. Meant to say that. Looks like my fingers got tongue-tied. Thanks
Bush may need help, but what about those 52+ millions who voted for him in 2004?
ronhohn @ 104:
beyond help.
There are several hundred BILLION galaxies in our Universe. There are several hundred BILLION stars in each galaxy. Current String theory (the leading theory) mandates 11 dimensions, of which many of these dimensions are postulated to intersect and "run through" our 3 dimensional space/time reality. "M" Theory encompasses String theory and states that our Universe is one of an INFINITE number of Universes, many of which may interact with our own.
Its science people, not fantasy. The universe is rich with life. To believe otherwise is IRRATIONAL.
Paul @ 103:
You lick your fingers when you type?
Someone has fianlly said it, "He is mentally disturbed."
AMAN!
He's either insane or on drugs. Why else would a leader of a nation chuckle & snicker during press conferences when he's talking about serious things like war.
sadly, there are too many people out there that are confused. i wish kucinich would have explained this, but i think he gives people too much credit.
so, lemme give you a hand.
ufo = unidentified flying object
it does NOT mean aliens. why? because if it did it would be a identified flying object.
this is just too sad. even at C&L people get caught up in this non-story, the story that the MSM/political elites/neoliberal/neoconservatives want people to be caught up in. sad, if you ask me.
we should be talking about his positions, his policy ideas, his resolutions--fuck, here is a man calling impeachment, not-for-profit healthcare, getting out of iraq, taxing the rich fairly, etc, and, even at C&L, people are talking about this BS.
wake up sheeple. you have been bamboozled again--willingly, if you ask me.
dennis @ 100:
And don't forget Dale Dribble too!
ronhohn @ 104:
They're all waiting for the Rapture! Praise God Almighty and All His Works! HalleluJAH!
(Problem is, it's not going to be the glass-bottomed tour bus they're thinking it is, but more of a tumbrel heading the other way.)
Dennis can have my vote if I can have his wife.
At least for a few hours.
Fifteen minutes to do the deed too soon, and the next 2 or 3 hours and forty five minutes apologizing.
no longer a proud american @ 105:
The majority are either in denial, on suicide watch, have entered 12 step programs or simply put their hands over their ears and chant "LA LA LA LA LA" when confronted with their choices.
The rest comprise the 28% and I agree...their beyond help.
PurplePatriot @ 102:
You'd think that people, especially with all the fucked up shit that this administration is doing to this country, the constitution, and the middle east, would get involved, get passionate about this election. But I think you're right... some people in my circle of friends are apathetic at best..."my vote doesn't matter" and BS like that.
Right on Kucinich! I started questioning his mental faculties when I saw the video of him debating in the Texas gubernatorial race in the 90s.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=hVuacSi0kWA
Look who's calling the kettle black! If ever there was a candidate for a straight-jacket it's Kucinich!
In fact Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul would make the perfect side-show act at the next Ringling Brothers Circus. It just goes to show you that the far-left and the far-right can be in agreement and meet each other on the far side of reality.
Kucinich questions Bush's mental health! Please.
I have not read all of the comments above but it sure seemed to me like a fricking hit job by tim russert, pseudo journalist of the msm, in order to negate Rep. Kucinich cogent comments as to the stability of the person whose finger hovers over instant annihilation of the planet I am from New Hampshire and I am going to do all that I can-$$$$-to elect our only hope....Dennis Kucinich. Why hold onto any dollars when these idiots have decimated the value to the point of Canadians streaming across the border buying everything in sight because of the exchange rate. My time and money is now with Kucinich.
If there isn’t something wrong with him, then there’s something wrong with us.
Spot on Dennis!!
Roto @ 117:
Roto @ 117:
You might want to check your metaphor. The irony of the 'pot calling the kettle black' is that they both meet the criteria.
That means Bush is certifiable.
It's just odd that it's coming from someone who claims to have seen a UFO (which, as explained in other posts here, is not the ticket to bizarro-world that most people think it is).
Duh.
Roto @ 117:
And what brings you to this...."conclusion"? Watch Faux Noose much?
I'm way ahead of you Dennis! These days I'm questioning the sanity of anyone who is willing to openly claim that they are a republican, those who still have a W '04' sticker on their bumper, and also those who are persistent in claiming that America was founded by Christian men (Doesn't everyone know that Thomas Jefferson wrote his own version of the bible that excluded almost every miracle that Jesus performed? It's called the Jefferson bible. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Bible). The insanity that must exist in these feeble minded folks absolutely frightens me (and I will add) I'm not easily frightened...
UFO
(nuff said)
Chip @ 124:
To be technical Jefferson didn't write it, but took a Bible, and cut out the superstitious parts of the Bible with a razor blade.
Dennis is correct. Bush is a real nut case. He did drugs and alcohol for so long it fried his brain. I also feel that any person who voted for Bush is just as nuts as he is. Bush has no compassion or understanding of what it would be like not to have billions of dollars in ones account. Again, Bush is a real nut case.
Cetylovx @ 125:
And how is this different from believing in an invisible creator who manifests in burning shrubbery, wind, and bright lights?
Sorry, even 'there are no verified cases of a UFO encounter' won't wash - there aren't any verified sightings of God, either. Lots of tortillas, weeping statues, pieces of toast, water stains on plaster walls, but nothing verified.
Cetylovx @ 125:
"nuff said" about what?
think!
yeesh
Cetylovx @ 125:
Yup. Sorry. Dennis was a fave UNTIL this goofy admission.
ysbaddaden @ 126:
HAH! that's even better! How's that all of you wing nut's! A founding father of our nation took a razor blade to the bible!!!
so maybe i missed this somewhere, but when exactly did kucinich say he saw a UFO?
is this just right wings propganda or did he he really say this?
that little FLILF hunter!
Give that man a PhD.
And Roto - Betty Ford Has your admission papers ready. You'll be bunking with the chimp.
Chip @ 131:
HAHAHAAAA! Love it!
And for the people STILL harping on the UFO thing...I don't think you folks realize how silly it is...
Eddybaby @ 130:
To be fair he meant to say muff said, and not in reference to winter wear.
As much as I applaud ANY PUBLIC RECOGNITION of the mental instability of GWB, let alone ANY efforts to get GWB out of office, this scenario does beg for attention, not only with GWB, but with ANY president. What happens if a president becomes mentally unstable? should the president be checked frequently for signs of psychosis, etc.? What happens if the driver of the bus is mentally unstable, or suicidal?
As said a few times previously in this link, UFO = Unidentified Flying Object. It doesn't equate to a flying saucer or aliens. It's simply an object that's flying and we can't/don't recognize it.
I mean, really, is this more important than the psychopath(s) in our gov't?
Eddybaby @ 130:
this is ridiculous. he saw something he could not identify, and--knowing full well that the sheeple would balk at this unremarkable event--still, STILL, was honest about it. and that causes people to withdraw support....
if i had any faith left in people's reasoning skills, in their ability to not be manipulated and not to be played for fools it is now gone.
he saw something he could not identify??? wow!!!! holy cripes!!!!
this is a corporate-funded, political-establishment blessed, hit job--they KNOW what kucinich represents. and some of you people have taken the bait.
President Washington made arrangements with his minister to know which Sunday services would have the eucharist, so he could avoid the service. Washington always walked out on them.
Roto @ 117:
Do imagine this often? This Paul Kucinich thing? And one more thing before we get started...is there a history of mental illness in your family...
ysbaddaden @ 139:
Maybe he was on Atkins.
tell me again why Kucinich can't win.
Samson- @ 138:
I'll just bet most of the people who think ill of Kusinich believe in gohst and a big guy in the sky.
Bob In Pai Thailand @ 143:
The Great Pumpkin?
yes, same group
Obviously many here have skipped over my posts (#60, 63 and 67) showing that Ronald Regan and Jimmy Carter both saw UFOs before they became President.
Do I also need to start providing quotes from American and Soviet astronauts who've seen UFOs? Their own words are OVERWHELMING.
Or what about this survery taken after the 50th anniversary of the Roswell crash:
"Nearly 50 years since an alleged UFO was sighted at Roswell, New Mexico, a new CNN/Time poll released Sunday shows that 80 percent of Americans think the government is hiding knowledge of the existence of extraterrestrial life forms."
http://www.cnn.com/US/9706/15/ufo.poll/
Friends, 80% is higher than the 75% who want us to leave Iraq.
Don't take those who dismiss Kucinich because of his sighting seriously...
Everybody has seen something they cannot explain in this life, his just happened to be a black op secret weapon!
Maybe if he is elected he'll find out what these damn things are and then he can tell us what's happening to all those damn cows!
