Very disturbing story about Bush's state of mind

From AMERICAblog courtesy of Eschaton:

Matt Drudge adds on his site:

"The sources said Mr. Bush maintains daily contact with only four people: first lady Laura Bush, his mother, Barbara Bush, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Undersecretary of State Karen Hughes. The sources also say that Mr. Bush has stopped talking with his father, except on family occasions."

So basically Bush is melting down. (Or, at the very least, the number one propaganda organ of the GOP wants us to think Bush is losing it - that's just bizarre on its face, and shows had bad things are for Bush, and the party.) This is rather disturbing in view of the increased chatter about Bush, an alcoholic who never sought treatment, now reportedly drinking again.

Yeah, this is pretty damned disturbing given the fact that he's got his finger on the button and all that. I think Atrios puts it best: "Certainly stories like this should be taken with giant boulders of salt, but if Bush is going Nixon crazy on us someone shold find out." If I recall correctly, tricky Dick was behaving so strangely during the final days of the Watergate scandal that his closest aids were honestly scared shitless that he was going to declare martial law if the House Judiciary Committee voted to impeach him. Our nation may very well once again be back in that really freaky territory. I certainly hope not.
