#1 Hey, you can buy Dr. Rossiter's book and read all about it!

Maybe he's not so neutral after all. ;-)

#2 The Doctor made a style error. He should have had the book reviewed by someone like Ann Coulter before he had it published. A book like this thrives on careful bibliography and research, but also on readability.

To start with, there is pop-medical style of writing that goes back to the classical Berton Rouche, all the way through neurologist Oliver Sacks' "The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat", both of whom are still being ripped off by others for that genre.

Probably the highlights of his books would typically be anonymous case histories to demonstrate his theories.

By making general comparisons of individuals under treatment with examples from well known political figures statements, he could establish that a large percentage of liberals walking around today are people who could be diagnosed as having some variety of textbook mental illness, and not very subjectively, but obviously, even to laymen.

And this is where his expertise would be essential. Liberals *have* to assert that Republican Presidents are mentally deficient, even after those men have whupped seven bells out of them repeatedly, because to admit that they are not just of normal, but of superior intelligence, is to deny their delusion that conservatives must be deficient, otherwise they would be liberals.

But liberals efforts to prove this are irrational and unprovable, and without scientific evidence or merit.
