[Seattle-editorial] FP: American Psycho

Title: American Psyhco
Sub: UN BUSH SPEECH

By John Chuckman

No, I did not read the book, but what words more perfectly describe George
Bush making one of the oddest speeches ever made at the UN? There he was -
with his designer suit, costly watch, and constantly-manicured haircut -
stone-faced and unrepentant for the violent destruction he caused, for his
obvious lying, and for his rage against the thoughtful objections of others.
Actually, unrepentant seems an inadequate description, unaware or
uninterested being closer to the mark.

The matter and manner of Bush's speaking are always an ordeal for thinking
people. He seems convinced that every audience deserves the same approach
given the pathologically credulous at a revival tent meeting.
