Boozer bu$h: The August Blackout.

[dbt]

The Enquirer's story about bu$h hitting the likker has a bunch of panties in a wad around here, and I do not see why it should. Anyone who's ever been a booze hound--or who has had to live around one--has seen enough over the past five years to decide for themselves that the Worthless Little Fuck has not given up the drink, no matter what he or his handlers (or especially his enablers in the Librul Media) have said.

Return with me now to the thrilling afternoon of August 14, 2003, the day the lights went out in the Northeast US.

Our Popular Wartime Preznit was off in Sunny California that day, to hobnob with large contributors and raise more funds. As the power grid went down, we were assured by the Media Ho Squad that bu$hler was closely monitoring the situation, that there was no real cause for alarm and that this was not Terra-related.

The afternoon wore on and millions of New Yorkers walked home. Darkness fell and CNN announced that the WLF would, after all, address the nation concerning this matter. The address would be coming later and would be carried live. This was around 7:30 PM CDT, IF memory serves.

A few minutes later, CNN said they would NOT be able to carry the address because of technical problems. FINALLY, just before bu$hler DID appear (around 9:00 PM IIRC), CNN announced that the presidential address was pre-recorded. Here's what I saw on TV:

bu$h STAGGERED to the podium, almost completely MISSING his second or third step in the wide profile shot. His chimpy little head wobbled on his pencil-neck. He slurred his words even more than he usually does. At several points during the "speech," his eyes rolled upward as if he was about to go back to sleep.

Having consumed scores of gallons of whiskey in my time, I saw quite clearly what was going on: bu$h had had to be "SOBERED UP" to go on television--and he was clearly Not Ready For Prime Time!

I did not see any clips of the speech anywhere on the "news" the next day, which is pretty telling, given the Full AssKiss Mode that the networks were in at the time. TO THIS DAY, I have not seen any of that video again! Nor have I been able to find any other DUers who saw it!

But it's got to be out there somewhere. If it can be found, it will show this country that bu$h has been drinking on the job for at least TWO YEARS and that the Enquirer piece is merely the Smoking Bottle.

1. does * go to rehab or does rehab get set up in the white house?

if he is away and cheney is having cardiac events, who is the next preznit?

[Geoff R. Casavant]

3. If they are both incapacitated

then say hello to Acting President Hastert. He'll serve until one or the other is able to resume his duties.

Edited for a stupid spelling error.

9. Why Do You Think He Is Using Rehab?

That would be an admission of weakness in Bush's mind - and weak pissant that he is he'd still never admit to it.

[Mend]

12. He is probably using rapid detox...only takes two days

[DoYouEverWonder]

2. Seems the same thing happened when the Columbia blew up

The shuttle blew up around 9:00AM and it wasn't until after 1:00 PM when Bush finally got it together enough to say a few feeble words.

They even had to delay the NASA press conference so that Bush could get sober enough to address the country before the NASA officials could go on the air.

20. Don't forget that when he is in Crawford,

it always takes him several days to go on TV and address major events, no matter how much the media clamors. The tsunami and Katrina are examples, but the never comes out of his hole right away when he is hiding out down there. I also believe it's because they have to have time to dry him out and make him a bit more presentable.

[LiberalinNC]

4. Ah yes, that was my b/day - I remember that day well!

Maybe Crawford is where "they" take him when he needs to "dry out"...but he thinks it's for "drinkin' up". :evilgrin:

[Im with Rosey]

5. It appears to me

that if we stop and think about virtually every time we are forced to see him, we would be able to make this same argument.

[hardrainfallin]

10. yep. he was staggering last time I saw him try to swagger up

to the podium.

All you have to do is watch him, painful as it is. No need for leakers or NE reports.

[dbt]

15. Point taken, but this was EXTREME. There was no doubt that

he was still in the bag that night! You could damn near smell him through the TV.

6. This may be the most BS topic I've seen here.

First the National Enquirer is shit for a news source. Second, his drinking again, if true, is a two edged sword; just as easily a half assed excuse for shitty job performance. Third, his drinking should be judged by the Clinton standard-until its both provably true and shown to affect his job performance, its his own private business.

[mrbill]

7. could you please explain "the clinton standard"

25 words or less would be good.

[Somawas]

17. The Clinton Standard

until its both provably true and shown to affect his job performance, its his own private business.

We all said that a blowjob was Clinton's personal business and that his lying about it was a matter of no concern, because it did not affect his performance.

[sendero]

8. And you follow it up wit more BS..

... Job performance? Well, his job performance is dismal beyond any comparison or comprehension.

Blame it on booze, incompetence, whatever, but if I were you I'd not bother going there - because NOBODY BUT A HANDFUL OF MORONS IS IMPRESSED WITH HIS "JOB PERFORMANCE".

[hardrainfallin]

11. wrong. Getting a blow job is not a clinical illness that endangers

others. Alcoholism is.

It's NOT about moral judgment, it's about safety, etc.

[Im with Rosey]

13. I must disagree

The very fact that drinking fogs your ability to function is IMHO is much more dangerous than sexual activity. I'm in no way saying that I believe the NE story, I'm simply stating that one can make the argument that if it is true, we can examine each and every time we see him trying to make any sense at all, that is a possible explanation to his complete and utter lack of intelligent discussion points.

[neweurope]

14. That man has his hands on the buttons that might blow up the world.

You and I might get somebody killed while driving drunk. As terrible as this would be that's as far as it would go. But the president of the United States can take the whole damn world down.

Whether he's drinking or not is not only of interest to Americans, but also to the rest of the world.

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. I don't want a guy who has access to the nuclear launch codes to be drunk.

Clinton getting himself blown never carried the possibility of the rest of us getting blown up. But if the Chimperor goes on a toot and decides it might be fun to nuke North Korea or Iran, we will all be in a huge world of hurt.

[peekaloo]

16. Remember the day Columbia disintegrated?

It was hours before he appeared that day, also. Looked like he was hungover from the previous Saturday night.

[graywarrior]

19. When you can accept the fact that you are in office because

the election was stolen for you...twice...you are capable of lying about whether or not you stopped drinking. He is in denial, just like the enablers around him are.

When you don't deal with your core problem of why you drink, you are a dry drunk. He fluctuates between dry and active. He has a problem and we all need to go to ALANON to learn how to survive it until he gets impeached or removed from office.

And one more thing...he is spreading his disease all over the planet. He needs a detox.

[Robertwf]

21. This is why we have K*rl

How many times has a President been impaired since the country got WMD? What exactly is impairment? Drunk? Beginning stage Altzheimer's? Lust?d

[graywarrior]

22. Biggest enabler of all. And all enablers have their own sick shit

that spreads all over the planet. Wonder what his is.
