06 Oct 04 - 09:11 AM (#1290145) Subject: BS: Pre-senile dementia in Bush From: Alice A physician wrote a letter to the editor of the Atlantic Monthly pointing out that Bush has symptoms of presenile dementia. Now that the debate has shown that his speaking skills are not up to the performances earlier in his career, I am wondering if the doctor is right. Here's a bit of a quote and link. - Alice ------- Dr. Price suggests that "not being a professional medical researcher and clinician, Fallows cannot be faulted for not putting two and two together. But he was 100 percent correct in suggesting that Bush's problem cannot be 'a learning disability, a reading problem, [or] dyslexia,' because patients with those problems have always had them." The doctor. goes on to say, "Slowly developing cognitive deficits, as demonstrated so clearly by the President [sic], can represent only one diagnosis, and that is 'presenile dementia'! Presenile dementia is best described to nonmedical persons as a fairly typical Alzheimer's situation that develops significantly earlier in life, well before what is usually considered old age." http://www.onlinejournal.com/Special_Reports/091804Mazza/091804mazza.html Click here |

06 Oct 04 - 11:25 AM (#1290291) Subject: RE: BS: Pre-senile dementia in Bush From: Bill D one quote from Reagan in 1984, where he declined to take a test for dementia, stating that he promised to take the test... "only if there was some indication that I was drifting…Nothing like that has happened." |

06 Oct 04 - 02:43 PM (#1290468) Subject: RE: BS: Pre-senile dementia in Bush From: Alice I think Bush's alcoholism and cocaine use might be catching up to him, since the stress as US president at war must be incredibly intense. Since alcoholism causes dementia, even though he is no longer drinking, the preveious damage from his younger years may be part of the equation. |

06 Oct 04 - 04:08 PM (#1290536) Subject: RE: BS: Pre-senile dementia in Bush From: GUEST,William Shatner You know, I think he's under a great deal of strain. I mean, obviously...it goes with the job. Now he may not have been exactly a brainwave in the first place. Add that to the pressures of 4 years in the presidency and you've got a problem. My feeling is that I could straighten things out in the world in jig time...with a combination of good diplomacy and photon torpedoes. I would establish a good dialogue with those who are locked in conflict around the world and find out what their real concerns are. I would seek workable compromises. I would at the same time remind them that I have the power to fry their gonads...if necessary...at a moment's notice...and I would challenge intractable foreign and terrorist leaders to personal combat...mano a mano...in the arena. But I would talk first. It's academic, though, because as a Canadian I cannot run for president of the USA, and I wouldn't really want the job anyway. It would be a step down in excitement for me after what I've seen. Boring, really... |

06 Oct 04 - 04:27 PM (#1290554) Subject: RE: BS: Pre-senile dementia in Bush From: Jack the Sailor Obviously that is not Shatner. Shatner would simply point out that the terrorists' professing of religious motives is inconsistant with their violent actions thus causing Osama et. al. to sentence themselves to death. |

06 Oct 04 - 04:36 PM (#1290562) Subject: RE: BS: Pre-senile dementia in Bush From: Bill D naaawwww..Spock would do that. Shatner would dither and suggest beaming down and 'investigating', and would lead the team into caves in Afghanistan where they would be captured and forced to watch grainy videos of Osama... |
