Entirely consistent with his spoiled brat trying to be macho personality but Winter: how reliable are these sources that are just "reports from aides"? Anyway to move this up a level of credibility so we can spread the news?

Anybody remember the "Documentary" that came out around Oct. 2004 --- "Faith in the White House" ???
Talk about outrageous spin:
Faith in the White House
Faith in the White House
George W. Bush thinks that he has been divinely appointed by God to lead America against the forces of evil that have taken the guise of Islamic militants. A great many Americans believe this as well - Bush is their messiah and their saintly king. It's enough to make you fear for the future of America.
Frank Rich writes in The New York Times about the new DVD "George W. Bush: Faith in the White House":

GAWD I'd love to have at least one of those tirades on video!!!
We definitely need some confirming sources, reliable enough to yank some Fristian heads out of the sand.
I'm dying to send something like that to my fundamentalist Bush-supporting aunt that sends spam to help "catapult the propaganda" every chance she gets (and who, along with her husband, runs an evangelical Sunday morning radio program on the hometown station, where they are constantly berating those "ungodly liberals" that have designed and built the handbasket in which Americans are going to hell)

I am finding that the "neo con's";the Christian Right(so called!) Just will not hear the truth, they just put it down to sour grapes! Absolutley insane! It is like WW2, many of the German people did not believe the stories about the death camps, in fact many, the whole world over did not believe the facts.

As an former rehab counselor, I've seen way too many rage-aholic sociopathic types like Smirky. This isn't the first time that this kind of behavior has been reported on Boosh and if you need physical proof, they have plenty of pictures of him giving the "finger of hostility". And if you need proof of him being medicated, I suggest you re-watch the three 2004 pResidental debates. 1. over medicated 2. under medicated. 3. ahhhh, just right.
Boosh is more than just an asshole, he is text book case of an untreated "recovering" alcoholic who is obsessed by the fact that he will never be the man that his daddy is, no matter how many sElections he steals.
Hey Paul. Boosh hating webpage? They'll ALL be Boosh hating web pages before it's all over. Only the most brain dead neo-KKKahns are still loyal to "Great Leader".

Bush has said words to the effect that, he is not concerned with consequences in the future after he is dead. That is not indicative of a Christian point of view, since Christians "expect" to be in "heaven" and are supposed to "care" about their fellow men, women and children.
What I think is, he finds "Christians" incredibly gullible, especially after becoming familiar with the 12 Steps of AA, that rely on a "higher power". So he is merely capitalizing on this particular gullibility, of "totally blind" faith, a certain "Christianity" that verges on superstition a great deal of the time when it distains "logical thinking" and reasonability.
Now, I am not criticizing all "Christians" as being superstitious --- only those extremists who have no idea what message Jesus Christ was trying to convey --- e.g., Pat Roberts calling for an assassination !?! --- and such as other hateful rascists who call for the eradication of Islam and Islamists, and the nuclear bombing of the Middle East !?!

You know the stories were during Johnson's days that he was afraid to leave the White House.
Could we ever get lucky enough that Bush would be afraid to leave his hole in Crawford?

I saw this image of behavior Dubya from the first debate with Kerry. If he became so frustrated with his gestures and facial expressions at a fellow American for speaking against him....how the heck could he handle a foreign leader!!!!!! Deplomacy problem--can dish it --but can't take. His party attributed it to "how would 'you' feel' if someone put you down. He wanted to be the leader of the most powerful and compassionate country in the world........so therefore, he should be able to maintain his composure, remain calm and collected when confronted in order to deal with things RATIONALLY. Funny, we never know the real truth about mental or physical health of the prez until he is dead and gone. Wow, what grandma always said never fails to come true. "What you do in the dark shall come to the light".

Well, you all know how I feel. However, I would advise caution. One of the most successful ploys of the neocons is published articles that say "A reliable souce says" or "according to sources" without ever giving a real source name. This does not lend to credibility.
While I have heard a lot of ugly things from the horse's mouth that have been caught on tape, and I DO believe there is some probability to the above claims, the article makes statements that do not provide any credible source for George saying that.
Personally, I believe that George IS a drinking drunk and back off the wagon. A lot of statements and things said on tape and in videos sound like he is drunk and he makes no sense what so ever. Mostly he mumbles a lot of nonsensical statements. I am not sure why some people are so blind to this, but I guess it takes common sense and observation, which some people don't have.
Anyway, long and short of it, while the above article "may" be true, it is published much like what the Right Wing Noise machine puts out with no real credible source (except for the Doctor who is credited in the article). That part I do believe as I have suspected it with my own eyes.

Put the pressure cooker on and you see what truly is inside a person. Love of Christ? Not in that boy!
Peggy (Post #12):
I am glad that you made the distinction. As a member of the so-called "Christian Left" (i.e. I am a member of a Brazilian Assembly of God church that has a considerable outreach program to Brazilian and other Latino immigrants), I can tell you that good deeds are done by good people in our movement. For example, we have a food distribution program every Sunday night.
Unlike our Christian Right "friends," we believe that immigration is good and terrorism is bad.
I am sure that there are good people in the Christian Right; however, Pat Robertson is not indicative of that movement.
Catherine (Post #7): Good idea. I will ponder any correlations between the Anti Christ and Bu$h.

I want to know what the fuck is up with GWB's jaw. Somewhere along the way, he got this twitchy jaw thing going on. I first noticed it in the 2004 debates. I don't think he did it at the beginning of his first term. After noticing it in the debates, I noticed it whenever he speaks. After a pause, he slides his jaw uncontrolibly to one side, then back.
Recenly, I noticed that he did the jaw twitch at EVERY pause in a speach. It looked really wierd. He even did a double-jaw twitch on some pauses. It's like Napoleon's twitchy hand, except that Bush can't hide his chin, unless he starts giving speaches like the neighbor on Home Improvement (terrible reference, I know. GO FUCK YOURSELF. Oh George, you're a bad influence on me!)

You know Texas had a surplus budget when Governor Ann Richards left and Bush took over...we were in a deficit before his second term ended....polllution at an all time high...epa standards controls squelched..
It shocked so many of us that Bush made it to President....dog catcher would be to good for him, although he has a penchant for killing.

I bet you didn't see it in the FIRST debate, did you? That was the one where his earpiece transmitter turned out to be visible on his back, which was why the debate contract stipulated that nobody would photo him from the back.
I think when they realized people were picking up on the fact that Bush was wired, they switched to something implanted in his jaw or controlled on/off via a jaw twitch.
Just a hunch.

The primary impression I got from the debates is what Forgotten Citizen notes in #17 - "...he became so frustrated with his gestures and facial expressions at a fellow American for speaking against him..."
He was ridiculously speeded up in the first debate - which was bizarre - but, personally, I thought the the third debate revealed a Hitlerish very mean - "I'm want to kill you if you disagree with me" attitude. I haven't heard others say this specifically, so I may have been imagining it, but I got a strong, almost physical, dose of fascist personality through the television screen. That's the Hitlerian side.
The Mussolinian face is the arrogant sneer, the raised eyebrows and furrowed forehead from a few days ago (and many other times.) Talking to worms from his position as the potential unleasher of violence.
There is something really wrong with the man.
I'm no psychoanalyst, but I wouldn't want to have much to do with this guy under any circumstances.

#18's comment...I think you are on to something. I have unfortunately spent a lot of time around alcoholics...You can tell by looking at their faces if they have quit and are back on the booze. His face has changed in the last few weeks. The finger to the media, that weird picture of bush with Dennis Hastert....most plausible hypothesis I've heard. If it is true, he will have to be hidden until whatever. I don't think he can take criticism. Although he lives in a cacoon, he has to notice the protesters lining the streets.

Ah, yes, the blame and denial of an alcholic. Is he drinking again? I think he has been-- that's why they've got him at the 'ranch' for 5 weeks, doing all that vigorous exercise. Trying to distract and dry him out. Watch for that tell-tale puffiness in his face to... I wonder about the nose candy, too.
Also, it's been mentioned before in other places: look up Narcissistic Personality Disorder and you'll see The Dauphin's picture:
A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3. believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
4. requires excessive admiration
5. has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
6. is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
7. lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
8. is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
9. shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

re #18: It's a good point and I appreciate your concerns, JP, but we also have to realize that nobody inside the White House is in a position to tell the truth without going on double-deep background. A reporter like Jason Thompson has the choice of either protecting his sources or feeding them to the wolves.

Moral & Family Values were part of the divisive and derisive tactics during the past presidential campaign period. It is important to point out the disingenuous character of george w bush. It is important to point out the hypocritical side of the radical, evangelical right wing.
If you don't agree, you can choose not to read or think about certain things --- that's the democracy promoted here at Bradblog. Censorship is wrong.

It's not just george's narcissism which he carries to an extreme. It's his Sadism. And with the bush family's help he got into this job where he can unleash both.
Unfavorable crowds do not deter him. Scare him. yes! That is what all the protection and selected audiences are all about. But he will make the crowds pay. With the blood of their family members and friends and with the loss of income and 'freedoms' as a down payment.
Bolton will disassemble the U.N. and george's SCOTUS nominations will leave our country even more alone and insecure and george will catapault the resulting peranoia to destroy as much as he can in the name of Freedom and corporate profit.
Is it not strange that, of the 50+ million who voted as a majority for another candidate-twice!, only one small voice seems to stand out in exposing george as a lie telling hypocrate? Cindy Sheehan.
To me george has A.N.S. disease:
Addiction
Narcissism
Sadism
AKA the trifecta of george.
Go Cindy!

Kira, I was not after censorship - I was asking for a bit of restraint. BB is not about you or me -Its about getting the word to all those who are still unaware. If we all point others to this place and what they see is ARTICLES like Bush pees in his bed, then we're not taken seriously - I think the BB is great because so far things have been substantiated. Reader comments is another matter -the ravers and the crackpots actually adds to the credibility. (Note -i'm not trying to start an argument here, and I do not disagree with you. Definitely out them!
This one post though, seemed a little bit iffy. Like -I'd rather wait til tomorrow and make sure credibility survives.
That said -my entry was perhaps a bit too sarcastic - sorry WP.

No one has presented much of a reason why Bush is on such a long vacation, but there is some hint as to why in his comments about having a "balanced life".
It seems Bush physicallly attacked someone on the Whitehouse staff, and he had to get out of Washington, away from the stress, and possible lawsuits. He's basically not having any input in what's happening in the WH now. He is also seeing a counselor and getting a better "balance" of medications.

I concur. I mentioned it also in another thread that he looks really drugged up lately, with a face red as a tomato, a far-away look in his eyes and can barely complete a sentence anymore and every time he does successfully complete one sentence he does the cokehead jaw-grinding routine. EVERY time. Perhaps #18 is onto something regarding him drinking again too. It's a possibility he might be on some kind of sedatives to keep him more mellow but with some toots of coke here and there to make him a little more alert. Or the liquor as the sedative and coke here and there to pep up, one of the two. He's definately on something. It was a year ago or perhaps a little more when he gave the bizarre rose garden press conference. Remember that one? He was OBVIOUSLY drunk, and even insulted a journalist's facial appearance. It was a radio journalist who has a big nose, a bushy moustache and glasses, I think his name was "Mike"- something but I could be wrong about the name. Anyway, leaning over the podium, slurring his way through the press conference so he can get back to more pressing matters like his afternoon bottle, the heavily-inebriated Bush calls on him, and before the journalist can even finish his question Bush slurs at him, "Anybody ever tell you ya' got a face fer radio?". The fellow says, "Yes, Mr. President, and I only wish this was the first time you ever asked me that". Bush responds by slurring, "Yeah, but this is the first time in front of a nationwide audience". What an asshole.
