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, administration aides confide, frequently explodes into tirades over those who protest the war, calling them “motherfucking 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 fuck 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 fuck 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.”

  • Oh that’s about par for this guy. DISGUSTING It’s to the point now where just seeing this dude makes me want to vommit. The only people who are not totally disgusted with this jerk are the brain washed neo republicans. Who are just as sicking in defending this alcoholic HITLER wanabe.

    • Are you serious? He actually said those things? Are you sure? I though the man was an asshole but I didn’t know he was a FUCKING ASSHOLE. Are you serious? He said those things about Cindy Sheehan? This man is a piece of fucking trash. The day we making voting easy for the public is the day we won’t have to put up with human trash like this man. It’s usually the informed, educated, or wealthy who actually summon the means to vote and this fact usually favors the republicans. Their fanaticism drives them to get votes out. The republicans worst fears is a situation where every single citizen is easily and readily able to vote, this would be a nightmare for them.

  • I don’t like the man but was still shocked that he uses so much profanity and is so out of control being that he is so "religious" and all.

    • The antics of this piece of human filth should show the rest of the world about the mentality of the majority of american people, who allow this scum to remain in office. Send this psycho and his zio-nazis aids to Nuremberg and let the world try them for their war crimes against humanity.

    • last train to nurembourg, all aboard!!!

  • Bush appears to have an inferiority complex. His statement that many have underestimated him in the past but he has suprised them by susceeding is a braggert trying to prove to himself that he is capable of outwitting his critics. It takes no brilliance to do something just to show someone you can do it it just proves that one is stubbortn and confrontational and is exhibiting a adolesent mentality.

    I have seen people make the same kind of statement who felt that others misjudged them or did not think that they were capable. I have seen this often in academic situations where a chemistry professor aluded that most people do not have the intelligence to understand the science of chemestry or mathematics. It is always to put others down and adopt an air of superiority.

    Bush ,having been an alcoholic and reportedely a drug user most likely has some serious issues of denial and takes a confrontinal stance to ward off criticism. His aluding to his becoming president was fordained that god wanted him to become president spurred him on to prove he could rise to the challenge, however his conduct in achieving that goal has been dishonest and dishonorable given that he gathered around himself such a cadry of unscrupelous aids such as Rove, Libby, the swift boat for truth thugs and others. Any person that can not stand on their own self honesty and integrity and uses dirty tricks and scurelous attacks to try and discredit those who question their motives or decisions are only sussesful at being a dishonest, immoral person. Any thief thinks he is brilliant in commiting a crime , ( even after he is caught), blaming his capture on other reasons other than his mistakes.

    When one is confronted about lyiing they usually put on a angry bulleing stance of denial.

    • "I did not have sex with that woman!!!!" Yes, I see what you mean.

    • Give me a man who lies about sex over a man who lies about war ANYTIME.
      Even if it cost $20 million to identify a stain on a blue dress.
      Tell me the present cost of Iraq my friend, and while your at it, thrown in your best guess about total casualties and injuries of soldiers and civilians.
      I can pay the bill for dry cleaning that dress, can you pay the war bill.?

    • I goofed it was $ 40 million to find that stain. Sorry about that.

    • The corporates, arms and oil dealers behind these latest bombings/invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq dont want an ’intelligent’ puppet at the helm. They wanted a smirking buffoon, a rhetoric spouting goofball. He is similar to Blair in as much as they have no principles , no firm beliefs apart from some christian mumbo jumbo that makes them feel good about themselves.

    • You apparently think there was a separation between Clinton and Bushs. Check out "The Conspirators" by Al Martin, or "Crossing the Rubicon" . The parade of puppets put forth for the last 2 decades has been a mere distraction from the planned obsolescence of our consumption societies. The end is coming sooner than you think, as the wars are a method of speeding up the collapse so there will be fewer people left to share the world’s resources with.
      When you get past the rhetoric, evaluate the situation, and IF you survive, just remember this: when you are truly hungry, EAT THE RICH!!

    • hey Bush!! Smoke a joint buddy.

    • A smirking buffon, a rhetoric spouting goofball....sounds like none other than George Warmonger Bush, does he have a twin or is Marvin available maybe?

    • What’s the diffrence between bush and a moron? A moron doesn’t have trouble eating a pretzel

      What’s the diffrence between bush and a chimpanzee? Not a wholelot, they look alike but the chimp is smarter.

      Why did bush cross the road? Nobody knows, he’s so stupid that he doesn’t even know why.

      What is filthy rich, cowardly, and has the IQ of 50? Fifty bush supporters at Crawford, Texas.

  • Actually, I’ve been noticing in Bush a well defined jaw snap "TWITCH" that i’ve observed as very typical in cocaine abusers.
    It happens every few words on all his appearances. His jaw kind of snaps side to side. It is known that he was also a cocaine user in his "old" drinking days. I would bet that he’s doing the booze / cocaine routine. Drink until you’re drunk, then, snort to come back and drink some more. The pressure from the hole he’s dug himself and the nation is taking it’s toll. He must be removed from office before he nukes a nation or something. STOP MAD COWBOY DISEASE!

    • True, I’ve noticed Bush’s jaw grinding in several of his appearances beginning with the debates. Having known several coke addicts, I know how hard it is to give up this boring expensive addiction. The real trouble with a coke addict is that they are paranoid and imagine things. They get emotional and hysterical, this is a very dangerous state of mind for the president of the U.S.A, let us hope that the people who "handle" Bush are not using it too. They need to watch him day and night and not let him get too near the nuclear weapons buttons. Laura should stock up on the tranquilizars if she hasn’t already...poor woman bet she has to take them too. No wonder his daughters are both whores, they probably think their old man is a prick.

    • What’s the diffrence between Bush and Sharon? Bush has more jewish advisers

      Does bush care about or love anthing? Yes, illegial immigrants

  • Bush is the extension of a fawning mother with a son who could do no wrong. Remember what she said about Iraq just before the "war"? In an interview with Diane Sawyer and an article about the interview written by Helen Thomas, the following was reported: "Why should we hear about body bags and deaths and how many, what day it’s gonna happen!" Mrs. Bush declared. "It’s not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?" If that doesn’t give all a serious glimpse of what W is made of I don’t know what would. And, of course, Helen Thomas has been pretty much vanquished. This appeared in the Saint Paul Pioneer Press on September 5, 2003 and I keep it posted in my office. To paraphrase Barbara, may she rest in hell. Jeri Rasmussen, Shoreview, MN jeri.rasmussen1@comcast.net

    • These people have no morals. They live in ivory towers and have never experienced taking any real responsibility. They are completely insulated from the rest of us. Their greed for money is all that affects them.

      They do the most disgusting things like mass murder in Iraq and Afghanistan, stealing money (9 billion missing from Iraq no investigation not a mention in the press) oil resources and taxpayers funds, robbing the S & Ls, robbing HUD, robbing the SBA, and most likely Freddie mac and Fanny mae. They have handed out high paying government positions to their corporate friends who have bribed them, etc., allowed price fixing and monopolies to gouge the consumers, its all documented, you can imagine how much isn’t. Then they get photographers to take pictures of them going to church, and talking about praying, all for appearance sake. It works pretty well as most people have been duped to one degree or another by these maggots. And unless you go on the internet and do some searches about what they are doing, the media would never inform you, their job is to make these maggots look holier than thou.

  • Blah, blah, blah -typical character assassination tactics of liberals. "May have been", "typical of" -not one fact in the entire article -just mindless rumor mongering and we all know why this ilk does it.

  • I don’t doubt Bush might have a dark side but is the source a credible one? Or someone who doesn’t like the prez trying show him up in a bad light? If these outbursts are true the country is very much in danger for W sounds like a nut case who should not hold any office of responsibility.
