A renowned psychiatrist from UC Irvine was duped into squandering at least $1.3 million of his family's fortune on a Nigeria Internet scam, according to a lawsuit recently filed by his son.
...Louis Gottschalk, a neuroscientist, is the founding chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at UCI College of Medicine. He gained national prominence by announcing in 1987 that President Reagan had been suffering from diminished mental ability as early as 1980.
He came to this conclusion by using the Gottschalk-Gleser scales, an internationally used diagnostic tool he helped develop for charting impairments in brain function, to measure speech patterns in Reagan's 1980 and 1984 presidential debates.
In 1997, Gottschalk gave $1.5 million to the UCI College of Medicine. In exchange, school officials named the medical plaza after him and his late wife.
More recently, Gottschalk coinvented software that uncovered a link between childhood attention-deficit disorder and adult addiction to alcohol and drugs. And in 2004, at age 87, he published his latest book, "World War II: Neuropsychiatric Casualties, Out of Sight, Out of Mind."

He would've been wise to take his own test periodically.

Two words: Yuk and yuk.
I have come across a small fortune and would like to share it with them. It's locked up in a Nigerian bank, though, and I just need $2,000 of their money to help me get it....
I think it's Schadenfreude
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
A violation of medical ethics. A doctor is not to diagnose patients he has not examined. The press never lets ethics stand in the way of a good hatchet job, so they played it up.
In the 1964 campaign, as I recall, a group of psychiatrists took out a newspaper ad to say that Barry Goldwater was psycho. I think they concluded, thoughtfully, that Goldwater would blow up the world. Psychiatrists hear voices under their tinfoil hats.
So, let me see if I have this right. The idiot who had the audacity to declare in 1987 that Ronald Wilson Reagen was sliding into dementia, has only proven that Ronnie on his worst day, was certainly a whole lot smarter than the declaree. With that in mind, maybe it is understandable why the son of the declaree is working on the court case, or did I miss the demise of the declaree, or is this just more evidence of the state of mind of said declaree who on his best day couldn't handle a simple email from Nigeria, while RWR was winning the cold war, running the country, and generally making fools of those who thought he was the idiot.
Reagan won the debates. If he was mentally impaired, what does that make Jimmy Carter and Fritz Mondale?
Incidentally, four years into his mental impairment, Reagan carried 49 states and defeated Mondale 525 to 13 in the electoral college.
It is clear by this article that the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob has a very fine sense of humor, isnt it?
Is anyone else feeling a slight amount ot schadenfreude right now, cause I sure know that I am.
Hey, that is not DMA! It just shows your mind and memory are maxed out, and something simple and unimportant like the location of said car keys, is not part of the important stuff running through your brain and memory.
Another article on it...

Justice does tend to be poetic, eh?
Well, one thing is for sure....He wasn't a Rocket Scientist!
I like what I see. If there was an award for fast, pointed, correct, and hugh comebacks, that award would be on your mantle, trust me I'm series.
Thank you so much! I confess, I've been watching liberals a very long time and it's top notch entertainment. In all that time, they have been a free freak show.
If you haven't already seen it, check out 419eater.com - a hilarious read is "The Tale of the Painted Breast" or something similar. http://www.419eater.com/html/joe_eboh.htm is the link to the page.
Forwarded to two liberal friends in CA who are so impressed with what the academic elite tells them to think. Awaiting response.
