Myriam Miedzian, who has published a book on boys and violence, recently wrote a column in the Baltimore Sun* in which she reported that as a kid George W. Bush used to kill frogs by putting firecrackers into them, tossing them in the air, and watching them blow up. She wonders if this cruelty had anything to do with Bush's mocking of convicted killer Karla Faye last year in a Talk interview: "Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, 'don't kill me.'" Miedzian concludes by suggesting that Bush appears to be "empathically challanged" and wonders if he's fit to be President. What do you think?
