Bush looked annoyed.


What is a good word for someone who *thinks* he's right
and has no doubt about it, but that is actually wrong? I'm
not just looking for jerk or simpelton but something that
actually conveys that concept of thinking you are right
(or in the right) when in reality you are not.


Anyway, Bush looked like he *knows* and *feels* that
he is in the right and is doing everything right and that
anyone who askes him any questions about it or says
otherwise is just wasting his time.


Kerry looked presidential.




I don't know the word, either, but Kerry addressed the behavior at one
point
by saying it's one thing to be committed to an idea initially, but wrong
to
be totally inflexible as new information is discovered. I'm sure this
idea
was lost on Bush.

DELUSIONAL.

Yeah....that's one way to describe it. :-) Actually, it's how *I* would
describe Bush. But, we're missing a better word - one which wouldn't turn
the debate into a **** storm. I'll think of it if my &$*@ phones stop
ringing for one minute.




Perhaps he was referring to the belief that Bush suffers from Rigid
Personality Disorder.


Most people have a fairly flexible personality that allows them to adapt
to a variety of circumstances, people and events. Persons with Rigid
Personality Disorder, however, lack this flexibility, and instead, get
stuck in fairly rigid ways of relating.

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?
