Democrat shrink takes unflattering look into depths of Bush

[kskiska]

"I don't spend a lot of time trying to figure me out," George Bush once said. "I'm just not into psychobabble."

"He reminded me of my more disturbed patients," the psychiatrist said. "Being on the wagon is not the same thing as having alcoholism treated. That means taking responsibility, and making amends to the people you've damaged.

"Bush switched from alcoholism to religion. It takes responsibility out of his hands. Being born again is a way of denying the past," Prof Frank said.

And there was the competitive relationship with his father, which the author believes is a driving force behind an administration which has sought in many fields to distance itself from the first Bush presidency.

Prof Frank's prescription is for Mr Bush to join an Alcoholics Anonymous programme - and for him to be relieved of his high-pressure job.

3. yeah as a member of AA I'd feel a lot better if Bush was working

a program rather than the dry drunk Born again a-hole he is. Here would be one of the benefits to all of us if Bushit was working a program....

Step 10- "Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it."
