"But by the time I got to the White House, I hadn't had a drink in a long time"


Awkward! George Bush reveals he drunkenly asked about female guest's sex life during dinner with his parents
By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 11:46 AM on 7th November 2010

Former U.S. president George W. Bush has revealed he once got so drunk he questioned a woman about her sex life - in front of his wife and parents.

Mr Bush, who said he quit drinking in 1986, said in an interview with The Today Show he asked his parents' friend the inappropriate questions during a dinner.

Mr Bush, 64, said he had a 'love affair' with alcohol - but never thought about having a drink while he was in the White House.

'But by the time I got to the White House, I hadn't had a drink in a long time.

3. Is that a church?
:shrug:

"never thought about having a drink while he was in the White House"

I'm not religious, but even I wouldn't tell a whopper like that in a church.

5. O horseshit!
The video was shot at the August 29, 1992 wedding of Jamie Weiss, the daughter of Dubya's close friends Mike and Nancy Weiss. Mike, a Lubbock, Texas lawyer and CPA, was Bush's campaign chairman during his first political race (an unsuccessful 1978 congressional bid) and was one of the Texas governor's earliest political appointments. Nancy, also a Bush appointee, had a prime speaking slot on the final night of the Republican convention. She told the crowd, "I wish you could see how he reaches out to people, teasing those who can take it and protecting those who can't."

Indeed, what a teaser!

When cameraman T. Patrick Murray filmed Bush during the wedding reception at a Lubbock country club, the future governor took some rambling--and we presume good-natured--swipes at the newlyweds, the bride's parents, and her brother Kelly (Bush was being quizzed by a member of the bridal party). We love the part where teetotaler George actually disses two of the Weisses for supposedly not drinking or smoking. And as for those weird Don King-like "only in America"cracks--not to mention what's in that glass--your guess is as good as TSG's.

7. And then when he got to the White House, he made up for that time.
I'm convinced he was drinking when he was President.

Bush is a lifelong drunk. A wet drunk and then a dry drunk, but a drunk nevertheless.

22. Dry drunks is a well known term that describes Bush perfectly. Here's the definition.
Dry Drunk:

Dry drunk is a colloquial expression which describes an alcoholic who no longer drinks but maintains the same behavior patterns of an alcoholic. <1>

The term is used by Alcoholics Anonymous in relation to feelings of anger, depression and resentment. <2>

18. Yeah, I saw a smidge of this interview on Friday on CNBC . . .
. . . the sumbitch sounded like he just came out of a swimming pool filled with Jim Beam. Slurring, random volumizing of words, lots of shifting . . . SO full of shit this guy is.

Oh, and the CNBC segment was praising Bewsh for TARP, and rescuing the economy. That's like congratulating an arsonist for putting out the fire he just set.

24. "So I'm drunk at the dinner table at Mother and Dad's house in Maine
And my brothers and sister are there, Laura's there. And I'm sitting next to a beautiful woman, friend of Mother and Dad's," he said, according to the magazine. "And I said to her out loud, 'What is sex like after 50?'"
