Washington Shrink Calls Bush a Paranoid, Sadistic Meglomaniac

A new book by a prominent Washington psychoanalyst says President George W. Bush is a 'paranoid meglomaniac' as well as a sadist and 'untreated alcoholic.'

Dr. Justin Frank, writing in Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President, also says the President has a ""lifelong streak of sadism, ranging from childhood pranks (using firecrackers to explode frogs) to insulting journalists, gloating over state executions ... [and] pumping his fist gleefully before the bombing of Baghdad."

Is this just a cynical attempt to make money out of the USA's current cataclysm of confidence in El Busho? Maybe. More at Capitol Hill Blue.
