Is El Presidente El Jefe Jorge Bush close to having a complete-total-screaming nervous breakdown? I am seeing more stories and columns in the blogosphere like this one today from Doug Thompson at Capitol Hill Blue. (Note: Thompson has been around -- press secretary to two congressman as well as a chief of staff, and a long-time journalist.)

Scary stuff, but not surprising. Let me again remind those people who voted for Bush what they voted for: a guy who has messed everything in his life, with the exception of his marriage. Dubya has ruined every business his dad's business partners ever bought for him, he destroyed America's reputation around the world... and on and on. Where would I stop? The list is endless.

Somehow you thought this violent, two-bit redneck drunk-of-a-clown had more "character" than Al Gore or John Kerry. Well, you know the old saying, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

We tried to tell you. Shame on you--you fools who voted for Bush.

God help the republic.

Here is Thompson's column...

“He’s out of control,” one White House aide says privately. “There’s no other way to put it. His anger spills over in meetings. He berates anyone who brings him bad news but there's not a lot of good news we can bring the President right now. He calls other Republicans 'motherfucking traitors' and it is becoming more and more of a challenge to keep that anger from showing in public.” Read entire column
