From Dan Froomkin, a small story that illustrates a large point:
Former Clinton adviser Sidney Blumenthal writes in Salon, with a tale ostensibly from within the White House.

"[A] Republican wise man, a prominent lawyer in Washington who had served in the Reagan White House, sought no appointments or favors and was thought to be unthreatening to Bush, gained an audience with him. In a gentle tone, he explained that many presidents had difficult second terms, but that by adapting their approaches they ended successfully, as President Reagan had. Bush instantly replied with a vehement blast. He would not change. He would stay the course. He would not follow the polls. The Republican wise man tried again. Oh, no, he didn't mean anything about polls. But Bush fortified his wall of self-defensiveness and let fly with another heated riposte that he would not change."
Go read the entire Salon piece, it's really quite something to realize just how stupid, and easily manipulated, Bush really is.

We really do have a mentally ill person in the Oval Office.
