Bush's Obscene Tirades Rattle White House Aides

While President George W. Bush travels around the country in a last-
ditch effort to sell his Iraq war, White House aides scramble
frantically behind the scenes to hide the dark mood of an
increasingly angry leader who unleashes obscenity-filled outbursts
at anyone who dares disagree with him.
"I'm not meeting again with that goddamned bitch," Bush screamed at
aides who suggested he meet again with Cindy Sheehan, the war-
protesting mother whose son died in Iraq. "She can go to hell as far
as I'm concerned!"
Bush flashes the bird, something aides say he does often and has
been doing since his days as governor of Texas.
Bush, administration aides confide, frequently explodes into tirades
over those who protest the war, calling them "mother...ing
traitors." He reportedly was so upset over Veterans of Foreign Wars
members who wore "bullshit protectors" over their ears during his
speech to their annual convention that he told aides to "tell those
VFW assholes that I'll never speak to them again is they can't keep
their members under control."
White House insiders say Bush is growing increasingly bitter over
mounting opposition to his war in Iraq. Polls show a vast majority
of Americans now believe the war was a mistake and most doubt the
President's honesty.
"Who gives a flying ... what the polls say," he screamed at a
recent strategy meeting. "I'm the President and I'll do whatever I
goddamned please. They don't know shit."
Bush, whiles setting up for a photo op for signing the recent CAFTA
bill, flipped an extended middle finger to reporters. Aides say the
President often "flips the bird" to show his displeasure and tells
aides who disagree with him to "go to hell" or to "go ...
yourself." His habit of giving people the finger goes back to his
days as Texas governor, aides admit, and videos of him doing so
before press conferences were widely circulated among TV stations
during those days. A recent video showing him shooting the finger to
reporters while walking also recently surfaced.
Bush's behavior, according to prominent Washington psychiatrist, Dr.
Justin Frank, author of "Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the
President," is all too typical of an alcohol-abusing bully who is
ruled by fear.
To see that fear emerges, Dr. Frank says, all one has to do is
confront the President. "To actually directly confront him in a
clear way, to bring him out, so you would really see the bully, and
you would also see the fear," he says.
Dr. Frank, in his book, speculates that Bush, an alcoholic who brags
that he gave up booze without help from groups like Alcoholics
Anonymous, may be drinking again.
"Two questions that the press seems particularly determined to
ignore have hung silently in the air since before Bush took office,"
Dr. Frank says. "Is he still drinking? And if not, is he impaired
by all the years he did spend drinking? Both questions need to be
addressed in any serious assessment of his psychological state."
Last year, Capitol Hill Blue learned the White House physician
prescribed anti-depressant drugs for the President to control what
aides called "violent mood swings." As Dr. Frank also notes: "In
writing about Bush's halting appearance in a press conference just
before the start of the Iraq War, Washington Post media critic Tom
Shales speculated that `the president may have been ever so slightly
medicated.'"
Dr. Frank explains Bush's behavior as all-to-typical of an alcoholic
who is still in denial:
"The pattern of blame and denial, which recovering alcoholics work
so hard to break, seems to be ingrained in the alcoholic
personality; it's rarely limited to his or her drinking," he
says. "The habit of placing blame and denying responsibility is so
prevalent in George W. Bush's personal history that it is apparently
triggered by even the mildest threat."

This figure of 6 million Jewish deaths was claimed again by Rabbi Israel Goldstein for World War II in the New York Times on December 13, 1942, and the United Nations, issued a joint declaration by the Allies simultaneously through the State Department in Washington and in London. Again, on March 2, 1943, the New York Times reported a mass demonstration in Madison Square Garden addressed by Rabbi Hertz the previous night, and quoting this figure of 6 million.
