A Benign Plotline Morphs into Dr. Strangelove

We all have seen the movies where know-it-all-wiseacres decide to put a naive stooge in a top job. The stooge is supposed to do what the backroom guys tell him. But the clueless stooge wises up and turns the tables. The backroom guys get their comeuppance and the stooge turns into a whiz at his job. Up until the stooge in the White House started talking about his “crusade” against Iraq, the familiar scenario was proceeding on-cue. The day after 9/11, President Bush looked very Presidential. And the fraud perpetrated in Florida to get him elected which was given a boost by the Supreme Court didn’t look like such a travesty of justice after all. For nearly a week it seemed as though the ne’er-do-well scion of the Bush family dynasty might be a halfway adequate Commander-in-Chief. But then, on September 16th President Bush began speaking in religious terms about waging a crusade against the terrorists in Iraq, and his mania to utterly destroy Iraq emerged. Soon egregious lies were being told by the BushMen to justify a military takeover. And before you could say Weapons of Mass Destruction, the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center had been turned into a rationale for President Bush’s official fatwa against Saddam Hussein. It’s easy to look back over the last four years and see the early stages of George Bush’s growing fanaticism. And we used to laugh at his mispronunciations, gaffes and fumbles. But now the increased evidence that he’s wearing some kind of device to either aid his thought processes or alleviate a medical condition is alarming. It’s only two weeks before the election and President George W. Bush seems to be having a mental meltdown. Why hasn’t the Mainstream Media jumped on his deterioration the way they jumped on President Clinton’s moral lapses? Journalist Dan Elias covered the third debate and asked questions of people in the know about Bush’s wire and batterypack. He told IsBushWired.com that he was brushed off by everyone he queried. When he approached CNN’s Jeff Greenfield about Bush using a listening device during the debates, Greenfield said, "I don't want to go there. That's "Area 51" kind of stuff.” The reference to Area 51 couldn’t be more apt. It’s a secret military base with a huge air field about 90 miles north of Las Vegas which the government won’t discuss and it's linked to UFO sightings. The MSM may not want to confront the implications of Bush wearing a medical appliance or an info-feed device, but the suspicions and questions aren’t going away. For President Bush it’s worse not to confront the rumors than to make some kind of public statement about his health. Absent any information, we are left to speculate. Is he bipolar, schizophrenic, impaired by a stroke, drug dependent, drinking again? What?
