Madness

In The Madness of King George, George III proves that he has well and truly gone buggo when he shoves aside a conductor playing Handel (The Water Music, as I recall) and starts leading the orchestra himself.

Our own King George W. Bush has done exactly the same thing, during a performance of Souza. Afterward, he kissed the forehead of the conductor, Bugs Bunny style, and walked away without a further word of explanation.

One of my corespondents writes:

Additionally, my trusty and, like, totally connected Desk Dee Cee reports further 80-proof suspicions from Potomacville, regarding whether or not the Prez (who once abstained from alcohol) is drinking again: Desk D.C. is one of those who hang and socializ! e at the White House. Desk Dee say s fellow hangers and members there report that when they gab with G.W.B., "There is definite slurrage...not just the regular word mangling, eliding and grammar screwups when he speaks off the cuff, but real slurring in speeches and interviews."

Obviously, this report provides no real evidence, unless and until we learn who this "Desk Dee Cee" source is.

Even so, we've had other incidents and similar reports. The time has come to find a way to discuss this matter with the Republican voters who keep in office the Republican congressfolk who protect W from impeachment. Much evidence suggests that Bush really has lost it. Even if I agreed with his policies, I would still want the removal of a president who has proven himself to be mentally unstable.
