Marathon Pundit: Does Blago have a narcissistic personality disorder?

Bruce Rushton of the State Journal-Register spoke with some Illinois mental health professionals, and while none have first-hand experience impeached Governor Rod Blagojevich, they think he may have a narcissistic personality disorder.

"I'm not sure the question is about (mental) stability," says Dr. Joe Bohlen, a Springfield psychiatrist. "It may be more about personality."

Two years ago, Blagojevich famously implored voters to ask what his election rival was thinking, and short of putting the governor on a couch, it's impossible to say what's in his head. But from what he's heard, seen and read, Bohlen and others say they believe Blagojevich may have a narcissistic personality disorder.

Bohlen also has other sources of information, namely a daughter who won a post-college fellowship with the state and worked as an advance person during Blagojevich's first term, arranging hotel rooms and making sure the governor always looked his best.

"She carried around a bottle of hairspray in her purse," Bohlen said.
