> Bush Using Drugs to Control Depression, Erratic Behavior

Why get so upset about this? The Presidency is a tough job, and anyone would feel the strain under it. After all, things haven’t gone so well for the President in these past years. He has been caught in untruths, has been part of a team that justified torture, and is not doing that well in the polls, the economy under his leadership has toppled, millions are out of work and living on the streets. It’d be enough for anyone to lose a little bit of their minds over. Have some compassion!

These antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs have side effects, too, so rather than deride him for having mental problems, be compassionate. For one thing, these drugs slow you down, so he has to suffer the indignity of not being the quick witted Rhoades Scholar Rocket Scientist type guy he used to be. For another thing, these medications will take away what Viagra could not restore. Poor Fellow, and his poor wife and aides.

If he’s feeling the strain and is under a doctor’s care, he won’t be the first person in that position.
