Kucinich: Is it time to question Bush's mental health?
Kucinich: Is it time to question Bush's mental health?
Ron Brynaert
Published: Tuesday October 30, 2007

Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich, a dark horse contender for the the Democratic presidential nomination, questioned President Bush's mental health on Tuesday, according to a Philadelphia newspaper.

"I seriously believe we have to start asking questions about his mental health," Kucinich told The Inquirer's editorial board. "There's something wrong. He does not seem to understand his words have real impact."

Kucinich was referring to President Bush's warning of dire consequences if Iran acquires nuclear weapons during a press conference earlier this month. Bush said that he had told world leaders the country must be prevented from achieving nuclear capability "if you're interested in avoiding World War III."

................

"You cannot be a president of the United States who's wanton in his expression of violence," Kucinich said. "There's a lot of people who need care. He might be one of them. If there isn't something wrong with him, then there's something wrong with us. This, to me, is a very serious question."

2. Barbara Boxer commented that Bush didn't seem stable...
But then backtracked when Chris Matthews jumped on it ~ I'm glad DK isn't afraid to talk about the scary elephant in the room.

4. Is there ANY question?
The man is out of control. Drinking probably has something to do with it, I would guess.

9. Possibly current drinking, and possibly cumulative damage from
the past kicking in. His brain may be all swiss cheesy.

while they censured a Congressman for referring to his amusement over destruction.

Someone else noticed it too. . .and nailed it totally.

7. Even a little taste of "Bush on the Couch" gives clear evidence that prez shit-for-brains is truly
certifiable. Just watch him speak with the sound off - as I
MUST do in order to prevent upchucking my last meal - and you can see all the signs..just as clear as day.

11. When a person is perceived to be a danger to themselves or others
a psychiatric evaluation can be demanded.

Since our coerced and compromised mostly unrepresentative leaership won't put impeachment on the table, why can't we demand such an evalution before he destroys yet another country?

8. The time to ask this is long overdue.
I believe he is very disconnected from reality, disconnected from the consequences of his words and actions, and is completely unfit to be president.

But, my bad. He's the kind of guy you'd like to have a beer with, right?

Yeah, and Ted Bundy was socially acceptable in company.

16. Bravo, Dennis!
One reason I really, really like Dennis is that he has courage.

Courage to speak the Truth.

Courage to speak the Truth to Power.

Bravo, Dennis!

I wish there were more courageous people like you in public office.
