A drunken Dubya?

March 24, 2006 03:33 PM / Bush Leagues .
When Washington insiders gather over a drink or three the topic is often whether or not President George W. Bush is on or off the wagon.

Bush, an admitted alcoholic who claims he quit without any self-help program, may or may not be drinking again, depending on who you talk to.

Query "Bush drinking" on Google and you come up with 19.9 million hits.

That adds up to a lot of words over whether or not the Prez is on a bender.

The Smoking Gun offers up a video shot at a 1992 wedding -- years after Bush claims he quit -- which shows the future President clearly in his cups.

Blogs often wonder if the President is falling down drunk. He does seem to fall down a lot, almost as much as Gerald Ford.

He was observed guzzling Yak's milk in Mongolia, a local brew with 3 percent alcohol. While the alcohol content is not that much, it doesn't take much to send a alcoholic off the wagon.

Wikipedia has a long piece about Bush's history of substance abuse, including confirmed reports of drinking and reported use of cocaine.

From our point of view, a soused Bush makes sense. It explains a lot of the man's otherwise unexplainable actions.

Laura Bush admitted to being a closet smoker. W has a closet too.

Of course he's drunk. It explains so much.

What real difference does it make if he is drinking or not? He appears to be a bungling, incompetent looser whether dry or wet. Why is this fool still in office? What is it that the American public thinks he is going to do to change all the problems he has created?

W has a closet too?

That might explain his homosexual prostitute Gannon/Guckert.

Having lived with an alcoholic for 21 years, the similarities with dubya are amazing: the arrogance, the unwillingness to admit wrong (even the slightest error), the anti-social behavior and actual lack of real compassion which borders on Asberger's Syndrome (an aspect of Attention Deficit Disorder)and the fits of anger. This is one sick individual, who needs more help than he's getting.

Absolutely. My ex was an alcoholic, which is why I left him when I was pregnant in the first place: for my protection and for the protection of our son. There has never been a doubt in my mind that W has a problem with alcohol still; maybe even still harder stuff. The man needs serious help.
