| Sen. Reid Says Bush Suffers ‘Doubt Deficit’ |
| 2006-03-21 |
| by Scott Ott (2006-03-21) — After a White House news conference today during which President George Bush professed continuing confidence in the U.S. strategy toward Iraq, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid expressed concern that the president suffers a ‘doubt deficit’ that could make him unfit for command. The Democrat senator said his remarks flow not from partisan politics, but from genuine compassion for Mr. Bush’s mental health. “After watching all that bad news on TV, and reading the devastating opinion polls, a normal man would not stay the course,” said Sen. Reid. “A great leader knows how to identify psychologically with his followers through second-guessing and equal measures of doubt and self-loathing. I’m afraid the president is pathologically incapable of acting like a real man.” Sen. Reid said he learned leadership principles while growing up in Searchlight, Nevada, where neighbors still remember him as the boy they called ‘Pinky‘. |

| #5 I think one of the news magazines I saw at the doctor's office either today or sometime last week showed Bush in a bubble with a headline about his isolation. This is presumably because he doesn't do what the editors of Time or Newspeak tell him to do. It's hard to find scrappleface that funny when it's a watered down version of what the lamestream media is putting out. |

| #4 I bought it because of the piece -- today or yesterday -- whining about Harvey Mansfield's book and Bush at the same time. |

| #1 Gotta remember to check the byline and the link. It's getting WAY too hard to tell the reality from the satire. |
