Head Case ("Al Gore Appears To Suffer From Narcissistic Personality Disorder"...!)

his running mate?

I have heard but not able to confirm that OwlGore takes at least 5 showers /day. I assume where there is smaoke there is fire.

Possible confirmation:

Seriously... this could be a *fortunate* symptom of mental instability. Fortunate for those who have to be near Gore, that is. The guy does sweat profusely, y'know.

If true, Al had better have a low-flow showerhead.

Algore's personality disorder type is that of a career politician. If he had missed his calling as a politician, he would have been an abundantly endowed preacher, revivalist tent and all. In fact, there is still time for Algore to discover the Lord and take the show on the road.

Although this is probably narcissistic of me, I want to show that it's not just the media who think this about Gore and that it didn't just start recently.
Back around the post-2000 election fiasco, I had an acquaintance that I suspected of suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and I had a friend who also knew this guy and was in a psychology class email me the symptoms/description.
Right after the election when all this was going on, I forwarded the description to a couple of friends because I thought Gore fit the profile.
Imagine my surprise when, a few weeks later, I think Newsmax, published an article discussing the profile and how Gore so closely fit it.

Most people who aspire to high political office have a touch of narcissism - however I don't know if Gore aspires to the complete syndrome. If so, no wonder his wife is depressed. They are very difficult people to accommodate in the real world.

I imagine when Gore is under stress such as he was during the election 2000 campaigning, he would present more narcissistic tendencies.... Alpha Male and all that...beard or not to beard.... never seeming to be able to grasp what the public wanted of him - remaking himself at every turn, in every city...and demanding we pay attention to him with love.

I suspect he has other issues - probably the cold relationship he didn't share with his father. Same as Prince Charles of England and Potty Prince Philip!

I am pleased we do not have to accommodate him as President.
Especially since 9/11 might have happened on his watch (shiver).

His "extra chromosome" statement is ignorant - but speaks of the man who made the remark. Ignorant and insecure.

I will be honest here: I do miss the Clinton Gore act each day in the papers - it was such fun poking at their antics..
But that is all I miss....I rejoice it is over.

I think he needs medication
He can order it using that Internet he invented.

"A virus caught from the billyblythe-clintons"

While I know that this disease is not determined by one's politics; it does seem that Liberals suffer most often from this affliction.

Not only algore; but both Clintons; and now we have this disease personified in johneffenkerry (and really there cannot be much doubt about Dean, as well).

It is clear from effenkerry's history; (he surely believes he earned that purple heart or silver star. . .for his 'put-a-bandaid-on-it' wound during his 'tour' of Vietnam. . . Seems by his past and present; that he clearly suffers from 'NPD'.

Of course the tragedy here; is that in reality; the NPD person, does NOT suffer; the real suffering is incurred by 'the rest of us'; their victims. . .those whose lives are influcenced by the narcisstic manipulator.

[cricket]

yes, that would be the 'narcissistic' manipulator. . .
