Don't get me wrong, here, I never liked Bush and I did NOT vote for him. However, can this information be verified? Has it been reported by any other sources? I tried to open the original link posted at the top of this thread, and my browser could not open it. Thanks for any info.

I dislike him intensely but not because he swears and flips the bird--Tori Amos does that when she doesn't like something, and she gets thunderous applause (and I think she's pretty cool). Bush should continue to be criticized for his decisions, not necessarily for his personality or the "colorful" way he chooses to express himself (although it is telling). Anyway, I'm rambling.

Remember when Capitol Hill Blue posted that piece last year about him being mentally ill and taking meds for his problems? The freepers went nuts.

The blind lead the blind, and the mad lead the mad. It all makes sense now.

None of these behaviors of Smirky's surprise me in the least.IMO it is totally in character for him .The thing that continues to bother ,bewilder and boggle my mind is that a significant amount of people bought into his insanity and some continue to do so .Aren't his approval ratings still over 50% in Texass and the deep South?What he has managed to do is destroy my faith in the good judgement of quite a few Americans.

Nationally, Bush is polling LOWER than Nixon at the time his articles of impeachment were being drawn (about 1 percentage point).

I don't hold Tori Amos to the same standard as the leader of the free world.
That said, President Johnson used to hunt from the back seat of his Lincoln Continental with his rifle and a plastic cup of scotch between his legs. Nixon used to talk to the portraits of former presidents. And I'm sure everybody's heard the stories about Kennedy and the White House pool. At least Johnson, Nixon and Kennedy were capable of leading.
In Nixon's final days, the "football" that contains the codes for a nuclear attack were taken from Nixon because he was deemed unstable. I'm thinking Bush never had the codes.
