Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS) is a political epithet invented by American political columnist and former psychiatrist Charles Krauthammer in a satirical article to describe complaints raised against the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush, and his administration, associates, affiliates and supporters. It is especially in use in the Blogosphere, and talk radio, as opposed to television commentary.

The term "Bush Derangement Syndrome" is usually applied as a derogatory term within the Blogosphere to imply that an opponent cannot be reasoned with or that complaints lack substance aside from anti-Bush hatred, due to the illogical connection to the charge.

Examples:

"George W Bush is responsible for Hurricane Katrina" made by Germany's environmental minister Jürgen Trittin [1] a member of the German Green party. August 30, 2005

Harry Belafonte accused "Bush of Gestapo tactics" Jan 21, 2006 “the greatest terrorist in the world” Jan 8, 2006

"The devil came here yesterday," referring to George Bush, who addressed the UN during its annual meeting "And it smells of sulfur still today." Hugo Chavez said September 21, 2006

Web sites with ridiculous conclusions:

Daily KOS: Bush Caused Spinach E. Coli. Expect More of this!!!

George Walker Bush is the ANTI-CHRIST
