Is Bush Losing It? Part Two

According to Dan Froomkin (via Daily Kos), Bush, while not necessarily insane, does indeed seem to be a petty, willfully ignorant, bullying jerk.

Judging from the blistering analyses in Time, Newsweek, and elsewhere these past few days, it turns out that Bush is in fact fidgety, cold and snappish in private. He yells at those who dare give him bad news and is therefore not surprisingly surrounded by an echo chamber of terrified sycophants. He is slow to comprehend concepts that don't emerge from his gut. He is uncomprehending of the speeches that he is given to read. And oh yes, one of his most significant legacies -- the immense post-Sept. 11 reorganization of the federal government which created the Homeland Security Department -- has failed a big test.

There's plenty more in the Froomkin link.

(And if Bush hates getting bad news, what the hell do they tell him when he wants good news? that Hilarious House of Frightenstein is out on DVD?)
