Seriously - how long until the * "mean drunk" persona emerges in public?

[DancingBear]

We've seen the "happy drunk" numerous times- most notably last week at the Kilgore rally - but when does he get mean?

Will it take a pointed press question when he's half in the bag to get the profanity going?

I am curious to see what others think - when and where will he go off?

Because we all know it's coming...

1. why not post a poll, with months as options?

[eShirl]

2. should be any time now

I'm surprised we haven't seen it already, only the briefest of glimpses (the debate where he charged the moderator comes to mind).

3. oh...about 30 minutes...it's cocktail hour....oh wait! You mean Bush!

I thought I was in the Lounge!

6. Hey, this ain't the Lounge!

We talk about serious stuff in here.

4. I thought it already has. It's just not reported. His

supporters and staff cover it up. But I have seen it surface a few times only to subside before he went too far. Like there was someone whispering in his ear or giving him signals from the audience suggesting he cool down before it's too late.

5. Flashes of ugliness have already slipped through

the rigidly scripted appearances particularly when he speaks off the script and the real Junior is revealed. The election debates spring immediately to mind... he handled all three of them horribly.

7. I agree. The shoving Ron Ziegler has to be coming.

He's about to go off, some time, somewhere. This trip could do it. Usually, the foreign press is asking about things that relate to business trade with that country. But now they will be asking about secret CIA prisons.

He's going to be chewing that jaw.

8. I think he is going to go off when someone accidentally disables the

teleprompter and he is left to speak on his own.

[shenmue]

9. Sometimes it does

You can tell when he snaps at people. Sometimes he'll get really mean, like he wants to crawl out of there. This is what happens right before you throw up.

10. I suspect it will happen outside the U.S. where all reporters, U.S. and

otherwise, seem to grow an extra set of balls and someone will ask the shrub an unscripted question that will piss him off.

11. China maybe?
