[Texgreen] Is Bush losing his sanity?

[Roger Baker]

No, the much better explanation is that he's an instinctive
sociopathic liar, and who was recognized and promoted as such by Karl
Rove early on. A politician's politician perfectly at home in latter
day Washington DC where there are 200 lobbyists for every Congressman
claiming to believe in democracy.  -- Roger

... Frank Rich writes that Bush "is completely untethered from
reality. It's not that he can't handle the truth about Iraq. He
doesn't know what the truth is." He doesn't? Look at a couple of well-
known Bush quotes again:

"What's the difference? The possibility that [Saddam] could acquire
weapons, if he were to acquire weapons, he would be the
danger." (Bush on why he lied about weapons of mass destruction.)

"I didn't want to inject a major decision about this war in the final
days of a campaign. And so the only way to answer that question and
to get you on to another question was to give you that answer." (Bush
on why he lied about keeping Rumsfeld on.)

These are the statements of a man who knew he was lying, a man who
believes nobody should care whether he lies or not, a man who doesn't
much care himself, but still nonetheless a sane =96 albeit heartless,
cruel, and stupid =96 human being who knew he was lying.

The media's new notion that Bush is losing his sanity reflects more
the media's developing its sanity than Bush losing anything. He is
intent on staying in Iraq forever and lying about anything he has to
lie about to do so. This has been clear for years. That journalists
are surprised by it now suggests the degree to which the American
media, not Bush, is out of touch with the reality of Iraq...
