PRESIDENTIAL MANIC BEHAVIOR

By Peter Fredson

July 2, 2005

When President Bush pranced before a crowd of captive soldiers last Tuesday at Fort Bragg he swaggered, smirked, gesticulated, glad-handed, grinned, and in many respects acted as though he had swallowed a handful of uppers before coming on-stage. Yet, despite grandiose pronouncements about offering a new strategy, Bush gave the same basic speech he gave many times previously: staying the course, insurgents hating democracy, our brave troops, and setting an exit date from Iraq might give comfort to the enemy.

One must wonder why, on the face of it, there was all this hoopla, all this fervor without substance, this tempest in a broken teapot? Was it because Bush needed to express his emotions at failure after he thought he had been chosen by God Almighty to bring about an apocalypse?

Why all the intense personality display, the pleading, the staged sincerity, the pre-arranged clapping of assembled troops? Was it a prelude to the Ides of March of a Julius Caesar? Or was it a mental disorder?

A blogger from Bellacio suggested that Bush suffers from bipolar disorder, manic-depressive behavior. A glance at medical information reveals the Positive Aspect of manic-depression. Examining a list of possible symptoms the reader might ask if it is possible that George Bush is indeed expressing manic behavior.

Here is a culled list of symptoms:
