[PEN-L:32621] Re: Re: Bush, moron? ref # 32618

I don't think that calling Bush a pyschopath is accusing him of having a
disability.  I just ordered an article which says that psychopathology is
common within the executive suites.  It describes them as cold and
charming.

If this article is correct, psychopathology may be associated positively
with what markets call ability, not disability.

Babiak, P. 1995. "When Psychopaths Go to Work." International Journal of
Applied Psycholology, 44: pp. 171-188.

Of course, I am way over my head here with virtually no knowledge of the
subject.
