George W Bush 1998 Drunk Video

[brettdale]

How come the networks played the Dean Scream over and over again, but yet when a video of Bush drunk at a 1998 wedding was posted on the internet nobody mentioned it. Didn't he say he had given up drinking years ago? I say send this to every media outlet, if that was a leading democrat who said they had given up drinking, they would be branded a lier and a drunk.

1. I also like the one of him giving the finger when he was governor

Such the Christian.

2. Can't get it to play here at work,

but you can be sure I'll bookmark and check it out at home tonight.

5. I find it amazing

That this has never aired before, here is the president back in 1998 drunk, yet he claimed he had stopped drinking, but not one network or cbel station aired this, noone even reported it. Makes me wonder what other videos are out there of him.

I have already emailed CNN why they gave so much coverage to the Dean Scream and nothing to this. I guess I wont get a reply.

8. The Dean scream video was the product of editing. All the

background noise and context was taken out. There was an article on it in the Tallahassee Democrat a few days ago. I posted the link repeatedly but it never got any attention. Might still be there, I think title was "Dean Scream a Media Fraud."

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

14. It didn't get any attention because

most of us already knew about the circumstances of the Scream (within 48 hours). There's still some flat-Earthers, though.

[rzemanfl]

22. Well, a lot of people didn't, myself included. The article didn't

begin "for all of you who think the earth is flat..." With all the lying that's going on in this country I'd think folks have better things to do than act superior because one didn't get past them.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

24. Just trying to explain.

Nuthin' about being superior, a lot of people invested a lot of emotion in Dean's campaign and were tuned into every nuance. The more people that are aware of how the media can assassinate someone's character the better. The flat-earther comment was referencing some of Dean's detractors who claim that they knew he lost the nomination that day when they saw it live. He actually lost the nomination the next day when the re-mix hit the airwaves, ad nauseum. So, by all means, spread the word.

Peace. :hippie:

25. Sorry. I am not in the best of moods about DU tonight. Made

the mistake of questioning some al Jazerra propaganda in another thread and then going to bed last night. The mistake was not in questioning the article which was largely b.s., it was in going to bed afterwards so I could get up for work. Still trying to recover from the flames.

A lot of people still get all their news from the MSM. Somehow a DVD needs to be made of all the video out on the Internet that takes so long to download. One that could be freely copied and handed out by volunteers. I know a guy who loves Bush, but is a recovering alcoholic with close to thirty years of sobriety, I would really like him to see that wedding video. I've never seen the Dean video in context to this day, lots of folks have never seen the Bush wire from the debates, etc. Michael Moore should do another movie, even if it is only a half hour or forty-five minutes long. Voting stuff from Ohio, etc. I'd be happy to pay to see some Bush bashing that wasn't in a little box on the screen of my PC.

Life in Bushworld just sucks, doesn't it?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

26. No problem.

I'd be happy to pay to see some Bush bashing that wasn't in a little box on the screen of my PC.

Trust me, it's going on daily in the real world.

27. That reality-based place? n/t

16. I tried posting this before. It zeroed out on me. Anyway, there is

this Repub in my office that for some reason likes Dean. She came to me after she read the Tall Dem and said did I know the circumstances. Of course, I did. You had posted.

I wondered aloud how all the cable news and network news happened to get the same doctored footage.

Suddenly, I saw the synapses jump and connect. She hasn't talked about it since, but she knows.

3. Daddy's not drunk. He's just tired from all the "hard work"

With my apologies to ACOA's.

4. Nice site

Sad when people are either a) in denial or b)just so clueless they won't believe it. I wish someone would be brave and play these video's. And I thought Bush claimed to have stopped drinking in his forties? He wasn't forty in 1998 I don't believe and there he is drunk. This shows me, I think, that he still drinks and gets drunk. And in his governor days was when he started appealing to the Christian base. So if he's going to pretend to be a Christian at least act like it in public. Of course he wasn't counting on that camera being on. Bush is always and always will be a rich spoiled brat. Did he mention Mike Wead or was that someone else?

[ClintonTyree]

6. It wouldn't matter................

they'd never air it because "the leader" was appointed by god. That and they wouldn't want to piss KKKarl off. He probably has photos of them in compromising positions. Nothing bad can be aired about "the leader". Ever.

7. what about emailing the link to the media

There used to be a national media list here, it can still be found on a search thru google, if everybody emailed the link to the media outlets someone would have to show it, what about Jon Stewart or Keith Olderman. They are probably our only hope.

9. Thanks! I will be sending that one around.

[KaliTracy]

10. i admit he's drunk, but is this really in 1998 -- he looks much younger

than he did when he was running for prez just a year later.

[brettdale]

11. this is what people having been saying on the blogs

They say the two people mentioned got married in 1998.

[KaliTracy]

13. 'k. thanks. n/t

[solinvictus]

12. Bush.

The fucking bastard's actually funny when he's drunk, maybe Pickles could work on that for us?

[brettdale]

15. the video was actually 1992

In 1986 he said he went sober this proves he lied.

17. And he talks like a normal person.

This is SO scary. He was obviously feeling no pain, yet his speech had normal rate and flow and thought content seemed intact. WTF is wrong with him now?

[Lisa]

23. funny, isn't it -- I had the impression that someone's "normal" accent ...

... comes out in situations where they've let their guard down (emotional, tired, or tipsy). At least, that's what I've learned when watching my friends and co-workers! (There's one guy in my workplace who affects a posh British accent, but it's an in-joke around here that when he's had too many drinks at the office Christmas party he sounds like the suburban Toronto native he really is!)

Makes sense that ** couldn't keep up his manufactured "cowboy" mannerisms after a touch of the grape (short attention span and all that). But I wonder why he'd be faking laziness and early dementia -- unless he's taking that "I like being misunderestimated" thing a bit too far.

18. junior just as big as asshole when drunk as sober.

[Dervill Crow]

19. Nah, he seemed coherent when drunk. And no fake Texas accent.

[0007]

20. I'm glad you brought that point out, because your 100% correct.

I dislike this man so intensely that I don't see all his faults.

[WI_DEM]

21. the reason is the corporate media wanted to destroy Dean

while they wanted to still want to build up Bush.
