Bush: Distempered, Charismatic or Primary Psychopath?

Here's a really great piece of blogging.

The blogger asks, "Which Type of Psychopath Best describes George W. Bush?"

I felt the choice was obvious (with a few bits of the Secondary type tossed in):
PRIMARY PSYCHOPATHS do not respond to punishment, apprehension, stress, or disapproval. They seem to be able to inhibit their antisocial impulses most of the time, not because of conscience, but because it suits their purpose at the time. Words do not seem to have the same meaning for them as they do for us. In fact, it's unclear if they even grasp the meaning of their own words, a condition that Cleckley called "semantic aphasia." They don't follow any life plan, and it seems as if they are incapable of experiencing any genuine emotion.
What a chowderhead.
