Bush off the wagon?

While waiting my turn in the supermarket checkout, I couldn't help
noticing the latest "ish" of Globe Magazine, which is featuring a story
claiming Presidummy Bush is "off the wagon" *again*, and drinking heavily.

Naturally, I didn't buy the Globe, and I can't find a decent website for
the rag, but...

Sometimes the stories these pubs carry are true, and sometimes they are
not. The gist of the story is that his failing policies and his tumbling
polls have made Presidummy irritable and nervous, and he's drinking again
for "comfort."

I, of course, never thought he quit drinking, but...




Did the magazine also report on finding human life on Mars?

That's not a Globe scoop. The National Enquirer ran a similar story a
couple of months back.

You know, if Bush hadn't admitted to having a drinking problem years ago,
this wouldn't be an issue. Few of our Presidents were teetotalers, and
some drank to excess. Rumors abound about Nixon's last days in office.
I'm no Bush sympathizer, but if his problem is recurring, I wish him the
best getting back under control. Politics be damned.

The interesting thing is that when Bush said he had a drinking problem, he
never did what he was supposed to do, and admit he was an alcoholic, he
didn't get therapy, and he apparently did not connect with a support
group, such as AA. Instead, he found Jesus or some such nonsense.


That may be what you are "supposed to do", but whatever keeps you sober
works. Have you noticed how stress ages a President? Carter is probably
the most obvious example. He went in youthful with a bounce to his step.
Four years later, he was old, gray, and wrinkled. I didn't notice much
aging on Bush his first four years, but look at him now. It's very
clearly starting to show. I don't like the SOB, but I do hope we are
talking rumors with no basis in fact.

You would think someone with a degree from Yale would not place any credence
in such a publication. But come to think of it, the Globe in probably
widely circulated in trailer parks.
All the best to you Krauster,

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

Don't know if it's wonderful, but sure is ironic that America's only
impeached President, and it's most bumbling in recent times are
discussion the failures of others. Carter gave us Middle East problems
that continue to this day, stagflation, a weakened defense, and he gave
America's Panama Canal and Canal Zone away to Noriega. The US continues
to pay a high price for Carter's failures to this day. He was a disaster
for the US.

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.
