"SNIP..........
The new ad from Scotts PAC, Lets Get To Work, calls Jennings a terribly rude woman, a latte liberal and someone who clearly has a problem. It defends Scotts record on job creation, arguing that almost everybody has a job except those who are sitting around coffee shops, demanding public assistance, surfing the Internet and cursing at customers who come in.

Doesn't psychosis imply he is delusional? I don't think psychopaths are. They are cold, cold, cold

Or an act of self-preservation. Florida enables his pathology, a cloister for his psychosis. But the internet exposes his psyche, and he won't have that.

and see the world in terms of strategies, not feelings. But I don't think he is delusional.

(7,021 posts)5. I agree with you, but his reaction to the woman kind of contradicts my initial assessment of him.
He sees her as a threat. He feels wounded or else he wouldn't feel a need to discredit her. Is it his narcissism or his paranoia?

The tragedy is that he is anywhere near a "leadership" position.

He's obviously too dense to realize that ONLY an asshole would do such a thing, and that doing such a thing proves she is right.
What a dolt.
