So he IS off the wagon. Another lie bites the dust.

David Sanger writes in the New York Times: "If you are an American president in need of just a few hours of temporary political asylum -- no debate about Iraq, no Chinese leaders resisting the American agenda and plenty of adulation -- here is an approach: Come to the endless steppes that Ghengis Khan made famous. . . .

"Gone from Mr. Bush's face was the let's-get-on-with-it look he had at Gigkakuji, the famed temple he visited in Kyoto, Japan. He talked with the warriors and stepped around camels and yaks to make his way into a quite luxurious ger. Sitting by a wood-burning stove, he chatted with a family of herders. . .

Christopher Cooper writes in the Wall Street Journal: "President Bush once again touted his war policy, hailing the 'stunning transformation' of Iraq. Nearly as stunning was an overseas audience that offered not a single catcall -- and instead broke into the kind of rhythmic applause often heard at rock concerts. . . .

"Mr. Bush wasn't able to avoid was a sip of the local specialty -- fermented mare's milk -- even though he's a teetotaler."

Incidentally, according to the e-mongol.com Web site, fermented mare's milk has an alcoholic content of about three percent.

1. But he spit it out. He doesn't inhale either.

4. Did it hit a blue dress?

Because if it did, he can be impeached. It's in the constitution.

5. Yuk!

:rofl:

7. Laura's does look blue

IMPEACHMENT! yeah

[jobycom]

2. "fermented" has a lot of syllables. Bush may not have understood it. nt

[indepat]

3. near beer?

6. I have a bridge to sell WSJ's Cooper...

...if he really believes that Shrubya is a teetotaler.

8. According to Laura he drinks stallion's milk

[Ilsa]

9. Teetotaler?

I seriously doubt that. There have been too many pics of him drinking wine with others. I doubt he spit it out, and I bet he wasn't serving nonalcoholic wine.

10. Hmm... he's sitting with his back to the shrine, too.

Now THAT's a bad idea. Turning your back to the Buddha is a gesture of ignorance that pretty much earns you a lousy rebirth--maybe as a flea. This is a good thing.

11. There have been several pictures of him with a drink in

his hand over the past years. He doesn't even try to hide it anymore.

12. A truly abstaining alcoholic would never sip whatever that was

They would have to start back at day one again if they did.
