[I]Unfortunately, I cannot personally vouch for the source, Capitol Hill Blue, but I do have the distinct personal impression that this article is true and correct, and is in accordance with my own observations and previous knowledge relating to George W. Bush's personal and public lives.[/I]

President George W. Bush is taking powerful anti-depressant drugs to control his erratic behavior, depression and paranoia, [I]Capitol Hill Blue[/I] has learned.
The prescription drugs, administered by Col. Richard J. Tubb, the White House physician, can impair the Presidentââ¬â¢s mental faculties and decrease both his physical capabilities and his ability to respond to a crisis, administration aides admit privately.
ââ¬ÅItââ¬â¢s a double-edged sword,ââ¬Â says one aide. ââ¬ÅWe canââ¬â¢t have him flying off the handle at the slightest provocation but we also need a President who is alert mentally.ââ¬Â
Tubb prescribed the anti-depressants after a clearly-upset Bush stormed off stage on July 8, refusing to answer reporters' questions about his relationship with indicted Enron executive Kenneth J. Lay.
ââ¬ÅKeep those mother****ers away from me,ââ¬Â he screamed at an aide backstage. ââ¬ÅIf you canââ¬â¢t, Iââ¬â¢ll find someone who can.ââ¬Â
Bushââ¬â¢s mental stability has become the topic of Washington whispers in recent months. [I]Capitol Hill Blue[/I] first reported on June 4 about increasing concern among White House aides over the Presidentââ¬â¢s wide mood swings and obscene outbursts.
Although GOP loyalists dismissed the reports an anti-Bush propaganda, the reports were later confirmed by prominent George Washington University psychiatrist Dr. Justin Frank in his book [I]Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President[/I]. Dr. Frank diagnosed the President as a ââ¬Åparanoid meglomaniacââ¬Â and ââ¬Åuntreated alcoholicââ¬Â whose ââ¬Ålifelong streak of sadism, ranging from childhood pranks (using firecrackers to explode frogs) to insulting journalists, gloating over state executions and pumping his hand gleefully before the bombing of Baghdadââ¬Â showcase Bushââ¬â¢s instabilities.
ââ¬ÅI was really very unsettled by him and I started watching everything he did and reading what he wrote and watching him on videotape. I felt he was disturbed,ââ¬Â Dr. Frank said. ââ¬ÅHe fits the profile of a former drinker whose alcoholism has been arrested but not treated.ââ¬Â
Dr. Frankââ¬â¢s conclusions have been praised by other prominent psychiatrists, including Dr. James Grotstein, Professor at UCLA Medical Center, and Dr. Irvin Yalom, MD, Professor Emeritus at Stanford University Medical School.
The doctors also worry about the wisdom of giving powerful anti-depressant drugs to a person with a history of chemical dependency. Bush is an admitted alcoholic, although he never sought treatment in a formal program, and stories about his cocaine use as a younger man haunted his campaigns for Texas governor and his first campaign for President.
ââ¬ÅPresident Bush is an untreated alcoholic with paranoid and megalomaniac tendencies,ââ¬Â Dr. Frank adds.
[B]The White House did not return phone calls seeking comment on this article.[/B]
Although the exact drugs Bush takes to control his depression and behavior are not known, White House sources say they are ââ¬Åpowerful medicationsââ¬Â designed to bring his erratic actions under control. While Col. Tubb regularly releases a synopsis of the Presidentââ¬â¢s annual physical, details of the Presidentââ¬â¢s health and any drugs or treatment he may receive are not public record and are guarded zealously by the secretive cadre of aides that surround the President.
Veteran White House watchers say the ability to control information about Bushââ¬â¢s health, either physical or mental, is similar to Ronald Reaganââ¬â¢s second term when aides managed to conceal the Presidentââ¬â¢s increasing memory lapses that signaled the onslaught of Alzheimerââ¬â¢s Disease.
It also brings back memories of Richard Nixonââ¬â¢s final days when the soon-to-resign President wondered the halls and talked to portraits of former Presidents. The stories didnââ¬â¢t emerge until after Nixon left office.
One long-time GOP political consultant who ââ¬â for obvious reasons ââ¬â asked not to be identified said he is advising his Republican Congressional candidates to keep their distance from Bush.
ââ¬ÅWe have to face the very real possibility that the President of the United States is loony tunes,ââ¬Â he says sadly. ââ¬ÅThatââ¬â¢s not good for my candidates, itââ¬â¢s not good for the party and itââ¬â¢s certainly not good for the country.ââ¬Â

What others are saying:
ââ¬Â Coming from a dubious news source I would like to see further print verification. 'Capitol Hill Blue' is maintained by 'The Save a America Foundation' a European based lobby backed by the infamous 'Rasmuson Group' headed on paper by a Alabama political shrill. ââ¬Å
ââ¬ÅThe article mentioned a Dr. Frank. Sounds Jewish to me. Even though I do agree Bush is an incompetent idiot. I think these stories are fabricated by Jews in order to make him lose the elections. Probably Jews in the democratic party. Very typical for current US politics if you ask me.ââ¬Â
ââ¬ÅWhere is the proof? Who is this mysterious 'aid'? Who do you think the Jewish controlled media wants to win the election?ââ¬Â
ââ¬ÅHere's where it get's interesting. There's two "Save America Foundations" one founded by Richard Bennett a Reagan Republican (unlikely benefactor) and another based in the Netherlands formed during the Clinton administration funded by Rasmuson. Google dig will return numerous references but it's tedious reading.ââ¬Â
ââ¬ÅThe source looks like it lacks credibility...looks like an online version of National Enquirer IMHO. Anyway, on to saving our race.ââ¬Â

Democrats have been circulating fake news stories about Bush around the net. There are many other ones floating around that say Bush has the lowest IQ of any president in history, while Left wing heros like FDR and Clinton had the highest.
