Clinton can't keep himself out of it, can he? If Clinton would follow in
the steps of past presidents he would go on the speech circuit and stop
interjecting himself into daily politics. He, Clinton, had his chance
and his time is passed.


It is funny that he relates a cigar to Clinton. What a legacy.



Here's a bit of the bit from the Enquirer:

BUSH'S BOOZE CRISIS

By JENNIFER LUCE and DON GENTILE

Faced with the biggest crisis of his political life, President Bush has
hit the bottle again, The National Enquirer can reveal.

Bush, who said he quit drinking the morning after his 40th birthday, has
started boozing amid the Katrina catastrophe.

Family sources have told how the 59-year-old president was caught by First
Lady Laura downing a shot of booze at their family ranch in Crawford,
Texas, when he learned of the hurricane disaster.

His worried wife yelled at him: "Stop, George."

Following the shocking incident, disclosed here for the first time, Laura
privately warned her husband against "falling off the wagon" and vowed to
travel with him more often so that she can keep an eye on Dubya, the
sources add.

"When the levees broke in New Orleans, it apparently made him reach for a
shot," said one insider. "He poured himself a Texas-sized shot of straight
whiskey and tossed it back. The First Lady was shocked and shouted: "Stop
George!"

"Laura gave him an ultimatum before, 'It's Jim Beam or me.' She doesn't
want to replay that nightmare — especially now when it's such tough going
for her husband."

Bush is under the worst pressure of his two terms in office and his
popularity is near an all-time low. The handling of the Katrina crisis and
troop losses in Iraq have fueled public discontent and pushed Bush back to
drink.

A Washington source said: "The sad fact is that he has been sneaking
drinks for weeks now. Laura may have only just caught him — but the word
is his drinking has been going on for a while in the capital. He's been in
a pressure cooker for months.

As for Carter, I recall that all the hostages held by Iran came home

15 minutes after Reagan was inaugurated, but of course it was just a
coincidence. As was the Iran-Contra fiasco, all coincidence.

Usually Martians shaking hands with Bubba Clinton, or Elvis, or......
