"Bush Derangement Syndrome" ("BDS") is a pejorative political neologism coined by Charles Krauthammer, an American conservative political columnist and former psychiatrist[1] in a 2003 column. The term has been used in newspaper columns and editorials, on talk radio, by commentators in the mainstream press, including The Washington Post, The New York Times, and Fox News Channel, and in the blogosphere.[citation needed]
Meaning of term
Krauthammer defined Bush Derangement Syndrome as "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency—nay—the very existence of George W. Bush". This term is most closely associated with liberal reaction to Bush policies past and present.[2][3] The term indicates a belief that some extreme criticisms of President Bush are of emotional origins rather than based on facts or logic.[4][1][5]
