I don't know which theory makes me more nervous...
th idea that Bush actually thinks he's some kind of Special Agent of God and therefore infallible,

...or...

the idea that he's just a garden-variety narcissistic psychopath with no conscience, no empathy, and absolutely no concern for the long-term consequences of his actions.

(In reality, I holde to the latter view, but some days I'm just not sure.)

2. Infallibility
and grandiosity are features of pathological Narcissism. So being an Agent of God fits right in with that concept.

3. CNN goes on about Osama thinking that about himself
And yet Bush can think it and that is not just as insane?

The MSM sucks. Double standards. Bush is just as crazy as Osama.
