THAT’s why Bush is president!

Per a social psychology study, narcissists tend to become leaders.

NOT necessarily good leaders. It’s just that they’re more likely than the general populace to become leaders. It’s the flip side of an overly healthy ego.

Oh, and another note per Bush (and per most public school “self-esteem programs”) – the study stresses that narcissism is NOT self-esteem.

And, that said, the research is based on two studies of students and one of business managers, and an author says it probably applies to Wall Street as well as politics. Perhaps Henry Paulson needs to be on the couch next to Georgie-Porgie. I know St. Alan of Greenspan should be there.
