This goes into the Funny But Really Not category: The online magazine Reporte Indigo somehow got a hold of the Catholic Church's report on the annulment of Vicente Fox's first marriage in 2007. The report's author declared that Fox has "serious personality disorders" that would prevent Fox from remarrying in the Church (he has remarried, to the famous Marta Sahagún, but I guess it was a civil ceremony).
A few comments: Fox is, by virtue of his career and the way he approaches it, the most public of officials, but, wow, publicizing that report is digging pretty deep into his private life. Of course, with this post I further its dissemination (albeit much less than its publication in the nation's most widely read newspaper), so maybe I should get over myself.
His behavior in and out of office certainly supports the idea that he is a megalomaniacal narcissist, much more so than, say, Ernesto Zedillo or Miguel de la Madrid or Felipe Calderón (though probably no more so than Carlos Salinas). Maybe Mexico (and other nations) should apply one of those personality tests to prospective presidents like the NFL does to rookies, just so we can stow the information away for later.
If they were all to be examined, what would be the percentage of world leaders with serious personality disorders? I'm guessing more than half.
