Bush Delusion Syndrome

Sadly, I'm not surprised by this video clip.

I know many people who were once against nation-building, once against Bush's immigration policies, and so on, and now that they have started working in the Bush White House, they have radically changed their minds. It's not merely the case that they have decided to publicly support the President because they feel it their duty. In fact, it's as though Bush has cast a spell on them, and changed their entire view of the world so that it now conforms with his. He's like the God-King, able to warp and mush the brains of otherwise logical people, and so of course he has supplanted the Constitution as that to which they take their oaths of office.

Maybe some of his critics suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome; but many of his supporters clearly suffer delusions of their own.
