President George W. Bush is taking powerful
anti-depressant drugs to control his erratic behavior, depression and
paranoia, Capitol Hill Blue has learned. The prescription drugs,
administered by Col. Richard J. Tubb, the White House physician, can
impair the President's mental faculties and decrease both his physical
capabilities and his ability to respond to a crisis, administration
aides admit privately. "It's a double-edged sword," says one aide. "We
can't have him flying off the handle at the slightest provocation but
we also need a President who is alert mentally."Tubb prescribed the
anti-depressants after a clearly-upset Bush stormed off stage on July

indicted Enron executive Kenneth J. Lay. "Keep those motherfuckers away
from me," he screamed at an aide backstage. "If you can't, I'll find
someone who can." [more] and [more]
