Well, Smiling Bob, I'm sure this thread is waaaaay over your head. Thanks for playing...
What's any of this have to do with the article, Harry?
Actually, I have no idea what you're talking about. Probably just another one of your self-declared winner episodes.
Keith Olbermann has permanent PMS.
One minute? Wow, you're a fast reader. I salute you, sir.

Olbermann couldn't pass one so why waste time reading what that braindead ass has to say.
NoCould Keith pass a sanity test? Probably not...
What do you think?
Short answer: probably not.
First, several important caveats. There is little worse and nothing cheesier than questioning the psychological stability of a public figure, especially a candidate for president, even in this case.
Except that in his year of campaigning, Donald Trump has called Lindsey Graham “a nut job,” Glenn Beck “a real nut job,” and Bernie Sanders “a wacko.” Trump has insisted Ben Carson’s got a “pathological disease,” and asked of Barack Obama: “Is our president insane?” He called Ted Cruz “unstable,” “unhinged,” “a little bit of a maniac,” and “crazy or very dishonest.” He also called the entire CNBC network “crazy.” He called Megyn Kelly“crazy”—at least six times.
Respectful reticence about aspersions and cliches and mental-health questions in a time in which mocking was seemingly slowly maturing into concern, died a long time ago in this presidential cycle—and it died at Donald Trump’s hands. Moreover, if the question is asked seriously and not gratuitously, just the examination might explain how Trump has seemingly survived dozens of moments that might each have been campaign-enders for almost anybody else. Why have we not asked if a given presidential candidate might be disqualified from office due to psychological reasons? Because we not only can’t see this forest for the trees, but each time we try, there are even more trees blocking our view. In the 24-hour news cycle, each successive John Yerkes Iselin moment is not registered cumulatively; it merely supplants the one from last week. Or yesterday. Or this morning.
This could also explain Trump’s seeming imperviousness to his own mind-bending campaign. Surely it must be exhausting to attack Mexicans (June 16, 2015), to attack John McCain (July 18), attack Muslims (December 7), attack the Pope (February 18, 2016), attack President Clinton (May 18), attack candidates who use a teleprompter (May 27) a day after you give a speech using a teleprompter (May 26). It’s got to be exhausting—unless, as the old joke goes, “No pain, no gain. And: no brain, no pain.”
Anyway.
The actual sanity test I found is called, by delicious coincidence, “The Hare Psychopathy Checklist.” Introduced by Canadian criminal psychologist Robert D. Hare in 1980, it is still in use, though with ever more diffuse and specific mental-health diagnoses, it is not without its critics. However, as a practicing therapist who walked me through it agreed, it serves as a kind of triage device to separate the injured from the tripping from the psychopathic.
And about that word. We seem to have completely muddied up sociopath and psychopath. Sociopath? Roughly speaking, think Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, living out there in his shack in the woods, feeling nothing for other humans and unable to interact with them, literally mailing it in. Psychopath? Think Ted Bundy, feeling nothing for other humans but having long ago learned how to expertly mimic relationships by being whatever he needed to be to whomever he needed to use, killing at least 30 women, serving as his own counsel and cross-examining a female witness, proposing marriage to her while she was on the stand—and getting her to say “yes.”
For each of the 20 items on the Hare Psychopathy Checklist, you’re supposed to assign the subject a 0, 1, or 2. The highest and most dangerous score is a 40. In the U.S., the accepted minimum score for possible psychopathy is 30.
So. Those are the rules. Let’s play the Freud:
MUCH MORE (w/VIDEOS): Keith Olbermann: ‘Could Trump Pass A Sanity Test?’
Delicious! Wow, there is so much more to this article. Personally, I don't think Trump could pass a "credible" sanity test - as least not to be President of the United States. I thought maybe Keith Olbermann was washed up - but not after this article. Go Keith!
I would have thought that the preformed talking points would have been disjointed, dangerously incoherent, unintelligible.I'm watching Trump's acceptance speech. He's a deranged psycho. I feel sorry for those dumb enough to believe him. He's functionally insane.
Trump is narcissistic and possessive of a massive ego.
Yes, however, he is sane.

Could Keith Olbermann pass a sanity test?
I mean for real.
its a lakota post.....thats what happens with the die hard lefties and righties threads....it happens with dean threads,it happens with first rambo threads,it happens with senior pollock threads it happens with lakota threads.....people who are so far left or right who cant accept someone who has a different opinion get treated like the asses they are.....you have been here long enough Pogo you should know this....Keith Olbermann has permanent PMS.
One minute? Wow, you're a fast reader. I salute you, sir.
Olbermann couldn't pass one so why waste time reading what that braindead ass has to say.
So y'all are afraid to read the content. That's my point here.
Either that, or you did read the content, find it inconvenient, have no counter to it, and so poison the well.
It's a toss-up.
Looking back, outside of my first post there's not a single post in this thread that actually addresses the topic. The moaners whine about the writer of the article, the groaners whine about the OP. Does anyone actually delve into topic any more?

Can Keith Olbermann pass a sanity test??
THAT is the question.
sorry Pogo....but anyone who calls people "nazis" just for having the gall and audacity to not agree with them like lakota does does not deserve any respect....its a lakota post.....thats what happens with the die hard lefties and righties threads....it happens with dean threads,it happens with first rambo threads,it happens with senior pollock threads it happens with lakota threads.....people who are so far left or right who cant accept someone who has a different opinion get treated like the asses they are.....you have been here long enough Pogo you should know this....Keith Olbermann has permanent PMS.

Entirely irrelevant. I don't even read who the OP is unless it turns out to be a stupid thread. If there's a thought-provoking or informational article there, what would be the point? I'm here for the material, not to start whining about "who posted it" or "who authored it". That's just evasion.
The OP is a simple quote of the intro from the article. Why is that "scary"? It's a good thinking exercise. "Who posted it" doesn't change its content in any way.
