As the alcoholic George Bush approached his 40th birthday in 1986, he had achieved nothing he could call his own. He was all too aware that none of
his educational and professional accomplishments would have occured without his father. He felt so low that he did not care if he lived or died.
Taking a friend out for a flight in a Cessna aeroplane, it only became apparent he had not flown one before when they nearly crashed on take-off.
Narrowly avoiding stalling a few times, they crash-landed and the friend breathed a sigh of relief - only for Bush to rev up the engine and take off
again.
Not long afterwards, staring at his vomit-spattered face in the mirror, this dangerously self-destructive man fell to his knees and implored God to
help him and became a teetotalling, fundamentalist Christian. David Frum, his speechwriter, described the change: "Sigmund Freud imported the Latin
pronoun id to describe the impulsive, carnal, unruly elements of the human personality. [In his youth] Bush's id seems to have been every bit as
powerful and destructive as Clinton's id. But sometime in Bush's middle years, his id was captured, shackled and manacled, and locked away."

Hey, I didn't write it. I didn't say he was a " a drink-fuelled funseeker" or "he was aggressively anti-intellectual." (Is that another phrase
for willfully stupid?) I just think people need to know who's running this country. I mean look at his monster of a mother. It said she was
"insensitive and domineering" with "withering stares" and "sharply crystalline" retorts." Who wants to grow up with a bat like that?
However, it is patently obvious that Bush has come from a severely dysfunctional hell of a family which has wrought deep-seated anger in our current
president and now runs the world.
