    Nothing if not consistent.

    Imagine how deep this shit goes, given that they like to keep things quiet and the M$M has been relatively obliging. Exposure is key to show the public what this administration is about.

    Check out these criteria in the context of the Bush administration and its treatment of the country. Do examples come to mind for each one?

    • failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest/legal action
    • deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure
    • impulsivity or failure to plan ahead
    • irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults
    • reckless disregard for safety of self or others
    • consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain steady work or honor financial obligations
    • lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another

    That would be the check list for anti-personality disorder (Reference: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). They're sociopaths, or rather, the administration is sociopathic. The inmates are running the asylum. Congress needs to get these guys under control before they get even more desperate and try something really crazy (e.g. http://tinyurl.com/2xvw4n). And then the public needs to seriously kick these guys out to the curb. Damn, what a waste of eight years.
