LaRouche: 'The Number One Issue

in the Presidential Debates

Is George W. Bush's Mental Illness'

 

September 27, 2004 [Links and emphasis added]

 

With just two days to go before the first of three Presidential debates

between President George W. Bush and Sen. John Kerry, Lyndon LaRouche, the

former candidate for the 2004 Democratic Party Presidential nomination,

issued the following statement through the LaRouche Political Action

Committee.

 

The as-yet unspoken, but pivotal issue to be taken up in the upcoming

Presidential campaign debates between George W. Bush and John Kerry is the

mental illnesses from which President Bush suffers. The most concise and

frank, yet compassionate account of George W. Bush's multiple mental

disorders can be found in the 2004 book-length study by Bush on the Couch :

Inside the Mind of the President - [Link has 54 customer reviews] Dr. Justin

Frank, (New York: HarperCollins, 2004). Dr. Frank is a leading psychoanalyst

who teaches at George Washington University Medical Center. His professional

credentials are impressive, and his in-depth study of the President, based

on massive amounts of public documentation—autobiographical and biographical

accounts, countless hours of video footage of the President, statements by

close associates and relatives, spanning nearly the entirety of George W.

Bush's lifetime—presents a compelling case that Mr. Bush is in need of

medical assistance.

 

As Dr. Frank summarized the case in his opening chapter, " If one of my

patients frequently said one thing and did another, I would want to know

why. If I found that he often used words that hid their true meaning and

affected a persona that obscured the nature of his actions, I would grow

more concerned. If he presented an inflexible worldview characterized by an

oversimplified distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, allies

and enemies, I would question his ability to grasp reality. And if his

actions revealed an unacknowledged—even sadistic—indifference to human

suffering, wrapped in pious claims of compassion, I would worry about the

safety of the people whose lives he touched. For the past three years, I

have observed with increasing alarm the inconsistencies and denials of such

an individual. But he is not one of my patients. He is our President. "

 

In his 219-page clinical diagnosis of the President's mental condition, Dr.

Frank concluded that Mr. Bush suffers from a range of serious, albeit

curable conditions. These include: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

(ADHD); untreated and uncured alcoholism (what is frequently referred to in

lay terms as " dry drunk " ); an omnipotence complex; paranoia; an Oedipal

Complex; sadism; a mild form of Tourette's Syndrome; and a diminished

capacity to distinguish between reality and fantasy.

 

These diagnosed mental disorders cannot be swept under the rug. The future

of the United States and the world is going to be determined by the outcome

of the Nov. 2, 2004 U.S. Presidential elections. I urge all Americans to

read Dr. Frank's alarming findings. I also call on those responsible for the

upcoming Presidential debates, including the candidates themselves, to

accept the fact that no serious policy dialogue can take place, until this

issue has been addressed, squarely and publicly. The American people have

the right to know that the incumbent President, seeking re-election, is

plagued by a number of debilitating mental disorders that have already

impacted, gravely, on American national security, and have severely damaged

some of our most important international partnerships.

 

In their wisdom, the Members of the U.S. Congress proposed and ratified the

Twenty-Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which established the

procedures for the President to be removed from office if it is determined

that " he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. " In the

case of the current President, George W. Bush, we have the advantage of a

Presidential election, just weeks away. It would be a grave crime of

omission to cover over this admittedly sensitive Constitutional issue, and

leave the matter in the hands of a Vice President Dick Cheney, were there to

be a Bush-Cheney re-election and a subsequent, inevitable mental breakdown

crisis.

=========================

 

In a followup article, to its ' Bush Taking Anti-Depressants ,' Capitol Hill

Blue Editors

said: " Teresa Hampton’s July 28 story, Bush Taking Anti-Depressants has been

removed from this web site because it fails to comply with fact-checking

standards implemented by Capitol Hill Blue on September 1, 2004.

 

" While she quotes Dr. Justin Frank on his analysis of the President’s

behavior, she does not offer any corroboration of the claim that White House

Physician Col. Richard J. Tubb actually prescribed any anti-depressant

medication to Bush.

 

" For [further] information on the President's mental condition, we suggest

this story:

 

" New Information Suggests Bush Paranoid, Delusional "

 

Who, or what, is Capitol Hill Blue?

Capitol Hill Blue is a non-partisan, take-no-prisoners political news site

launched by ex-newspaperman Doug Thompson in October 1994. That makes us the

oldest surviving news site on the Internet. But don't take our word for it.

Go to Google and see if you can find anything older.

 

He is joined by a rotating group of current and ex-newspaper men and women

who wander in like the homeless. Some still work for news organizations and

use Capitol Hill Blue as an outlet for the stories their outfits don't have

the guts to publish. Others are retired, but can't give up the Muse.

 

Nobody here draws a salary. Blue is a not-for-profit operation where

everyone donates their time and efforts. Any revenue we might bring in from

ads goes back into the operation.

 

You can reach our editors at info

 

How often do you publish?

Capitol Hill Blue is produced daily, seven-days-a-week, 365-days a year (366

on Leap Years) and is updated throughout the day.

 

What are your politics?

None. We believe it is the job of journalists to report the news, not be

influenced by political beliefs or bias. Our publisher took break from

journalism in the 80s to work for Republicans but is, and always has been, a

registered independent voter. Neither he nor our editor have ever voted a

straight ticket. We consider ourselves recovering newspapermen. A few also

served sentences on Capitol Hill. Experience in either, or both, of these

endeavors creates political agnostics.

 

We to legendary Chicago journalist Finley Peter Dunne's belief

that it is the role of a newspaperman to " comfort the afflicted and afflict

the comfortable. "

 

Should we believe what you print simply because you say it is so?

Absolutely not. You should read many publications and draw your own

conclusions. We insist that every story published on Blue have at least two

independent, verifiable sources for any and all of the information in that

story. We have a good track record but, as with any product produced by

human beings, we can -- and do -- make mistakes. But when we are wrong, we

admit it. Thankfully, we seldom have to.

 

In addition, Capitol Hill Blue is the only independent news site on the

Internet that employs an ombudsman. In that role, Sandra Riley reviews all

material published on this web site and has the absolute authority to edit

or delete anything she finds that does not meet accepted journalism

standards. If you have a question about anything published in Capitol Hill

Blue, feel free to contact Sandra directly.

 

Our publisher has a motto that hangs over his rickety, old, roll-top desk:

If your mother says she loves you, get a second source.

 

Who owns Blue?

Blue is owned by The Save America Foundation, a private foundation funded

entirely out of Thompson's personal resources. Like its benefactor, Save

America has no political leanings, no hidden agenda and owes nothing to

nobody. Our only goal is to follow the truth wherever it leads and then

print it. Once we do, we don't much care who gets mad about it.

 

Why is it called Capitol Hill Blue?

We're not really sure. If there was a reason back in 1994 it has long since

been forgotten.
