Bush's Obscene Tirades Rattle White House Aides

By DOUG THOMPSON

Aug 25, 2005 - 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 with that goddamned bitch,� Bush screamed at aides who suggested he meet with Cindy Sheehan, the war-protesting mother whose son died in Iraq. �She can go to hell as far as I�m concerned!�

President Bush flashes the bird before going live at the White House.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.�

WHO GIVES A FLYING ... WHAT THE POLLS SAY!

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 at the camera before going live. 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.�

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.

DRINKING AGAIN?

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.�
