Transfixed by His Own Reflection


Juan Cole asks whether or not Shrub is a narcissist and transcribes nine traits--judge for yourself:

'1. An exaggerated sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)...

2. Preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.'...

3. Believes he is "special" and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions) 4. Requires excessive admiration 5. Has a sense of entitlement...

6. Selfishly takes advantage of others to achieve his own ends. 7. Lacks empathy...

8. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him 9. Shows arrogant, haughty, patronizing, or contemptuous behaviors or attitudes.'


Hmmm...sounds like nine for nine, if you ask me.

Oh, and in other news, Marines in the Individual Ready Reserves will find out just what that means: they're being involuntarily recalled to active service to go fight in what James Inhofe (R-Just Plain Old Stoopid) calls the miracle in Iraq.

You know, I think I've got a lemon basil plant that's more intelligent than the Oklahoma Senator...
