Anybody read The Mask of Sanity" by Dr. Hervey Cleckley (his original, not the revised version)? A great book to understand Clinton's pathology and those of his ilk. I found this list on another thread. Do these characteristics of a psychopathic personality sound familiar?

No one psychopath has all the characteristics, but will display a significant number of such characteristics.
1. Superficial charm and good "intelligence".
2. Absence of delusions and other signs of irrational thinking.
3. Absence of "nervousness" or psychoneurotic manifestations.
4. Unreliability
5. Untruthfulness and insincerity.
6. Lack of remorse or shame.
7 Inadequately motivated antisocial behavior.
8. Poor judgment and failure to learn by experience.
9. Pathologic egocentricity and incapacity for love.
10. General poverty in major affective reactions.
11. Specific loss of insight.
12. Unresponsiveness in general interpersonal relations.
13. Fantastic and uninviting behavior with drink and sometimes without.
14. Suicide rarely carried out.
15. Sex life impersonal, trivial, and poorly integrated.
16. Failure to follow any life plan. "

Anybody read The Mask of Sanity" by Dr. Hervey Cleckley ...?

Let's put it this way. I saw the list of symptoms before reading your first paragraph and thought, "hmmm, I'll recommend The Mask of Sanity."

I have not read that book, but I notice that list of symptons also includes many of the official symptons of clinical depression.

As for "BOOB OF THE YEAR" I'd have to nominate the FL Dem Party, for failing to get their loser candidate Janet Reno out of the FL gov race, prior to her inevitable upcoming loss, in an obvious landslide win by Jeb Bush next November.
