Well, I certainly don’t pity him at all. He’s led a life of total privilige and wealth and earned or deserved none of it. He has the overall demeanor of a petulant, spoiled little boy who has just been informed that this time, he cannot have his way. He has lorded 9/11 over everyone’s heads for five years now and the public is beginning (finally) to grow weary of it which is bad news for W because it’s all he’s got. He is so incompetent he can’t even improvise his own BS, he needs it fed into an earpiece instead. he gives the distinct impression that he has no idea what he’s even saying at times. He’s only allowed to speak unfetered while he’s at one of those goofy photo-op things, like last week when he made an ass of himself at the HD factory.
I agree that at times, W exhibits many behaviors associated with stimulant use. The jaw movments, the overall twitchiness, the pauses in his speeches when he appears to be racing to the point where he needs to stop and allow his earpiece to catch up. During the 2004 debates, I thought he was wired for sure. He’s probably on Adderall or Ritalin, he appears to definitely be one of those ADD personality types as it is. But I think that many of his weird mannerisms can also be associated with his personality itself. Bush is a glad-handing frat-boy type, folksy and goofy and when he’s faced with having to discuss anything serious, he is obviously wildly uncomfortable. He has no leadership abilities at all, he is capable of parroting the same talking points to receptive crowds but chokes violently under pressure from anyone who dares question his authority.
