The Governor’s Mental Health

25 01 2009

the springfield state journal register reports:

Is Gov. Rod Blagojevich crazy?

The answer: Not exactly, according to experts in mental and personality disorders. But that doesn’t mean Blagojevich qualifies as normal.

“I’m not sure the question is about (mental) stability,” says Dr. Joe Bohlen, a Springfield psychiatrist. “It may be more about personality.”

…from what he’s heard, seen and read, Bohlen and others say they believe Blagojevich may have a narcissistic personality disorder.

yes, he is still the gov. while the representatives voted to impeach him during the middle of last month, the senate is starting the actual trial tomorrow. he says he is going to boycott the impeachment trial and go on a media blitz over the next couple days. tivo larry king live and the view. hopefully all of this is settled in the next week or two so we can continue the business of the state.

Haha, sorry for my sarcasm that got somewhat lost, I’ve been following this in bits an pieces and can’t believe it. I like that his sanity was addressed because he seriously seems to have lost a large chunk of reality, it looks like clowning around with this on the surface, but I think he really believe everything that comes out of his mouth. Do you know much about the Lt. Gov who would (will) replace him?
