A Modest Proposal
Since we seem to have elected two Presidents with undiagnosed neurological conditions (both Republican, you will note). -- the sainted Reagan (Alzheimer's) and that little devil George W. Bush (Korsakoff's)--- it would seem judicious to ask that all presidential candidates take a battery of neuropsych tests to discover any existing abnormal brain conditon. Of course if a condition were uncovered, it would then be disclosed just like any other physical condition or tax returnfor that matter. We already know that the United States can operate adequately with a President who has no brain, but shouldn't we know that before we vote?
While we're at it, candidates could take the MMPI, a valid test for pathological personality, particularly sociopathy. We can already be certain that anyone who runs for this office has to have a narcissistic personality disorder .
Can you tell all of us here at Dakota are a little worried about John McCain.
