The Sociopath Next Door (or in our house)


For anyone who thinks we are just name calling when we call Bush a sociopath, this book will; be an eye-opener.


The Sociopath Next Door (Paperback) and "WTF?" Bush Lemon Drops: (You can buy it from Buzzflash and support Democracy at the same time)

Uh, does the following description sound like anyone we know? Perhaps the 'decider-in-chief' in the White House?

'As Martha Stout explains, a sociopath is defined as someone who displays at least three of seven distinguishing characteristics, such as deceitfulness, impulsivity and a lack of remorse. Such people often have a superficial charm, which they exercise ruthlessly in order to get what they want. Stout argues that the development of sociopathy is due half to genetics and half to nongenetic influences that have not been clearly identified.'

Oh yes, this description fits George to an 'S.'

Although Stout's book -- unlike 'Bush on the Couch' by Justin Frank -- is not about Bush per se, it does deal with Bush's most likely untreated psychiatric diagnosis: sociopathology.
