What is the "major newspaper" that will reveal Bush's drinking?

[CTyankee]

I refer to National Enquirer interview on Ed Schultz's show today. They didn't say. I am guessing it is either the Washington Post or th e NY Times.

Anybody hava any differetn ideas/information?

[NewInNewJ.]

1. I think they are too chicken shit to report it.

[RamboLiberal]

11. I'm with you - they'll be too chicken shit to report

DU'ers we always get disappointed when we get excited about some MSM reporting this kind of info.

30-40 years from now those of us still alive will finally see this info in print.

[TomInTib]

2. Or LA Times or....

The Houston Chronicle which has been all over *'s ass.

[Kurovski]

3. Wall Street Journal?

It would not suprise me.

And I think it was said that it's a VERY respected newspaper.

[DURHAM D]

6. Not - WSJ only respected by Remugs. Esp. the

editoral page.

[Kurovski]

8. I'm thinking maybe that's what the editor from NE meant.

:shrug: Respected by folks who don't already believe Bush is a big, wet mess.

[izzie]

4. None as they can not get proof and that is not a pun.

He really did sound so odd to day that I could not even leave him on for 5 min.

[longship]

5. I would go along with your guess.

For those who think that the WaPo or NYTimes don't have the guts, consider this. The President is a position of monumental trust. During the latter days of the Nixon administration it was news that Nixon had been drinking heavily. Part of the discussion of the news media at the time was the following train of thought.

If Nixon is close to a breakdown due to pressures of the office and of the Watergate scandal, if he is drinking heavily on top of that, do we want somebody like that having access to the nuclear weapons. At that time, it was known that Watergate was totally consuming the West Wing, to the exclusion of everything else. It was thought that if Nixon didn't leave office soon on his own accord, something might have to be done to remove him, even before impeachment and trial could do so.

Consider the situation today. If Chimpy, a known severe alcohol abuser, has indeed fallen off the wagon hard, do we want to trust the nation's welfare to him? Knowing his total screw up on the Katrina affair, one has to ponder whether his performance was related to incapacity due to alcohol abuse. Knowing that other possibly very severe situations could surface, maybe it would be better to do something now rather than presume that a demonstrably incapacitated alcoholic can handle it.

This drinking business is a very scary, very worrisome situation. Is it possible that the whole Katrina faux pas was due to Shrimp alcohol abuse? The timing of this revelation seems to point to it. I now think that it is possible that our country could be in very grave danger with a person we cannot trust at the helm. I will be writing my Congress Critters in the next couple of days relating my very grave concerns.

19. but it is pretty well known he is nothing but a puppet

bush couldn't even hide his disdain for having to PRETEND to work due to Hurricane Rita - it is quite obvious bush has no real pull. The problem is HE doesn't know that - he thinks he is a real president.

7. Clevelkand Plain Dealer ...

A month or so ago said they were sitting on two explosive WH stories because sources would not go on record ...

[rzemanfl]

13. I was quite a bit longer ago than that as I recall, more like two or

three months.

[elfin]

9. New Orleans Picayune (sp?)

Will have to appear in college types and work its way up - MSM will not touch this.

Wonder if Keith will - Randi on AAR spent much time on it today.

[cassiepriam]

10. Doesn't matter, sheeple will actually like the story....

they can identify with him....

[jhain]

12. and

it gets all the rest of them off the hook for the multitude of major clusterfucks they are running right now, doesn't it?
It was HIS fault. We didn't do it.

* has always been a piss poor puppet. No one of them can stand him and there is NO loyalty with this scum. They could very well be offering him up as bait.

At this moment, they are scrapping his appearance in TX...

[cassiepriam]

14. Yes I agree, the story has legs and is good for the repugs

...everything is drunken Georgie's fault. We are good people
who were victimized by him too.

[Nightwing]

15. That's why I say, Buy this issue of NE

It will not only encourage the NE to continue running negative chimp stories, it will also encourage others in the MSM to jump all over this very serious issue. It's bad enough with a sober * and this nation is in deep trouble if indeed * has returned to his drunken ways.

I never buy the NE but have purchased a copy for that simple reason. The more they sell of this issue, the harder they will go after *.

[cassiepriam]

17. Fabulous idea.... everyone buy this issue, will make NE run chimp stories

[gfenley]

16. Bush drinking

This is just a rumor. They also had a picture of Clinton meeting with an alien off a UFO.

[ikojo]

18. Even if it came from The American Spectator

the sheeple who worship Bush as god's rep on Earth will still love and revere him. It will prove to them that he is only human and as a human he has his foibles and weaknesses. After all, they will ask themselves, when faced with a war and two hurricanes anyone would buckle under the stress.

The fundies will say all he needs to do is recommit himself to Jesus and all will be fine. He will do some mea culpas with the right folks (Robertson, Fallwell et al) and ask forgiveness for the sin of excess.

[ElectroPrincess]

20. Hey, Bush could fall down, slobber all over himself and talk gibberish

and these corporate assholes from the national media will spin it into poetry. :puke:

How about the fact that he's suffering from presenile dementia?!? More to the point, beyond relapse, we are being ruled by an OUTRIGHT mentally ill President.

What media outlet has the courage to print the TRUTH?!?

Answer: None.

Welcome to the Twilight Zone. <eg>

[yellowcanine]

21. Bush would have to be shit-faced in front of a gaggle of news reporters

for this story ever to be written by a major newspaper. Wait - how would we ever know if Bush were shit-faced? Aye, yai yai, he has the perfect cover.

[iconoclastNYC]

22. Don't impeach Bush, he fell off the wagon, have compassion! n/t

[hang a left]

23. Since I didn't catch the show.....did they ellude to the fact that a major

newspaper is gonna be publishing the story? Any insight?
