From MikeHersh.com:
Hating Hillary and AWOL Bush's Oedipus Complex
by Mike Hersh

June 10, 2003 -- WASHINGTON (mikehersh.com) -- I didn't remember it, but a friend did.

We were watching the recent 60 Minutes special together, and she told me to watch for it.

There it was. Bill Clinton bravely, spontaneously risked his life to protect Hillary.

Unlike the lies right wingers and others tell of the loveless marriage of political convenience, the Clintons clearly did and do love each other. People should not go there, but if they do, I would like to ask them about another Presidential marriage which actually does matter to Americans.

I wonder if they think that GHW Bush's abandonment of his family to search for oil in West Texas (and love in another woman's bed) when AWOL Bush was a child hurt AWOL Bush's development?

Without a manly role model, W turned into a sissy who tried to deny and cover up his softness with brutal cruelty. We know he shot pellet guns at his little brothers and tortured animals, but eschewed contact sports and became a cheerleader -- this back when that mostly meant pompoms and pleated skirts.

AWOL's Oedipus Complex reared its ugly head when he tried to punch out his own father. Such "family values!"

Also, the longtime affair GHW Bush had with Jennifer Fitzgerald may explain the hate AWOL Bush projects onto Democrats who understood Clinton's affair.

AWOL Bush might well prefer to attack others rather than his own father who so humiliated and betrayed his own mother. All this would show and explain but not excuse Bush's shattered development into a hateful, vicious, immoral little punk he is today.

We see Bush's efforts to prove he's a man's man, not the AWOL coward, wimp and wussy he really is almost daily. Are his Oedipus Complex and his shame and self loathing about his own sissiness the real source of Bush's strangely misdirected aggression?

Is Bush's need to prove he's not a wimp -- not WMDs -- the real reason he misled us into war?

When will he realize he can't make mommy love him more than she loves daddy no matter how many jets he (claims he) lands on an aircraft carrier? Why stop there? I can discuss this pop psychobabble all day.

When will little W understand he can't make dry mommy's tears or punish daddy for having sex with other women with macho posturing?

When will Bush realize he can't silence the voices in his head by threatening and killing others?

Do we really want to declare open season on White House marriage with the likes of the tales of Nancy Reagan with Frank Sinatra?

I'm game. That is, if the Republicans really want to get into it!
