Amazing. Most politicians will score at least 3 out of 9, but our current p-resident of the White Café Au Lait House scores a perfect 9 of 9, as far as I can tell from what is on the record of his past and present behaviors.
1) has a grandiose sense of self- importance ( exaggerates achievements, and talents, expects to be recognized as superior )
2) is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love)
3) believes he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people or institutions
4) requires excessive admiration
5) has a sense of entitlement, i.e, unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his/her expectations
6) is interpersonally exploitive, ie, takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
7) lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings of others
8 ) is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
9) shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes.
5 of 9 comprise a definitive diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (DSM-IV, 301.81). Treatment, while primarily via hospitalization with medical personnel who essentially humor the grandiose delusions of these people is essentially just long term “talk therapy” in one-on-one and group babble as the only real treatment options offered.
Personally, I think these sorts of people should just be drugged and warehoused for the protection of society.
Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman appear to get 9 of 9 as well.
Bullshit, “anonymous coward” in Madison, WI (at the U, no less). Obviously, you are one of the rioting asshats from the university. Po’ baby. Didn’t get more blood from the taxpayers?
In order to rate either one of them in that manner, you’d have to either be delusional or a flat out liar. Which are you?
Oops. Forgot the third option: delusional AND a flat out liar. I’m voting for this one.
Nice to know that Palin and Bachmann scare the shit out of you, stinky drawers.
BTW, as additional evidence (beyond your IP address) that you are obviously a “U-ie” you make your pronouncement without knowing enough about Michele Bachmann to even spell her name correctly. Typical of Madison socialista weenies.
