Dr. "Sanity" reads the headline " Hillary Edges Out Oprah as Most Admired Woman in ‘07" and this is where her mind wanders:
LIFE’S JUST A BITCH FOR THE LEFT
Consider the results of the latest Gallup Poll. On the one hand, Hillary nudged out Oprah for "Most Admired Woman". On the other hand, President Bush is still the "Most Admired Man".
…and then uses it to give us a lesson in Bush Derangement Syndrome (a syndrome that she has come to believe exists in the Psychologists’ Desk Reference). Until a looming tower erects itself within her subconscious…
Most BDS sufferers will probably suffer a debilitating relapse when they read the above; and probably be unable to get any relief from their incapacitating symptoms from the fact that Bill Clinton came in a very close second (knowing Bill, it’s even likely he would have come in 2nd in the first category–if only his name had been on the list of choices–and likewise for "Most Admired Black Person"). In fact, our 42nd President comes to mind frequently these days.
While I find her concern for the 50 to 60% of the American population who are not George Bush dead-enders quite to be gracious, I feel that a case study on a psychologist who, seven years after he is out of office, still obsesses over Bill Clinton and his penis should be worthy of a federal grant.

Looks like she’s obsessing over Bill’s penis almost as much as Chris Matthews does, who, I swear, must dream about the damn thing, he talk about it so much. And drools about it too (or is that just the usual spittle that flies out of his mouth when he starts screeching?)
And she’ll be giving George Bush rhetorical blowjobs seven years after he’s out of office.
I love the fact that the cartoonist, perhaps cognizant of his audience’s feeble mental skills, feels it necessary to identify Hillary with a name tag.
…cognizant of his audience’s feeble mental skills…< ./i>
Or maybe his own feeble cartooning skills. His “Hillary” looks more like a cross between Newt Gingrich and Jimmy Carter.
talk about delusional…
Bush was named by only 10% of respondents, while Hillary was named by 18%. And there were four Democratic politicians in the top ten among men (Clinton, Gore, Obama, Carter for a combined 21%) vs two Republicans (Bush and his daddy, for a combined 12%).
I don’t suffer from BDS. I take great pleasure in it.
That’s about it.
Of course, Bill Clinton is a Trappist monk compared to Newt Gingrich, Bob Barr, Rudy Giuliani and pretty much any Republican you can name, but none of those guys will be remembered by our charming elite GOP/Media Complex primarily as horndogs. Rudy’s currently in trouble because of Sex on the City, but I predict that the press and the people that control what go into high-school history textbooks will conveniently forget all of that and go back to describing him as Mister 911 America’s Mayor (TM).
Of course, Rudy’s doing his best to control how history, if not the legal system, sees him:
Dr. Lunacy skipped this bit:
So it’s actually 90% who suffer from BDS (BDS being defined as not naming Bush as most admired man). Also, if you add All gore (6%) and Barack Obama (5%) to Clinton and you nearly double Bush’s score.
(By the way, it’s DSM-IV.)
Oops, Lukasiak already made that point. Never mind.
The problem with these types of polls in general is that there are so few admirable people on the national stage (yer Amurican is a provincial sort) that the winner inevitably coasts to the top on pure name or job title recognition.
Can’t say I admire any of those folks, though only one of them would I categorize as “despicable”. No prizes for guessing which one.
(By the way, it’s DSM-IV.)
I noticed that at first as well. But there is a “Psychologists’ Desk Reference”, I found after looking it up. I’ve read the DSM-IV, and was aware of the Physicians’ Desk Reference, but the Psychologists’ one is new to me. I’m guessing the DSM-IV is for psychiatrists, since psychologists can’t technically diagnose certain mental health conditions.
Huh. I did not know that.
Mr. Brown: Lemme tell you what ‘Like a Virgin’ is about. It’s all about this cooze who’s a regular fuck machine, I’m talking morning, day, night, afternoon, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick.
Mr. Blue: How many dicks is that?
