Has anyone else seen this video of W at a party in 1992? Seems drunk?

[Guaranteed]

Picked it up off the net...just wonder if anyone else has seen it.

He's talking with this guy who's laughing maniacally while interviewing him...Bush keeps repeating phrases, over and over. It seems like Bush could be drunk, but not necessarily. Could just be that the guy's always a clown.

1. Yep, I saw that...at a wedding right?

He's holding a cup of Soda Pop right? And trying to be funny in that run-on gibberish talk drunks do. :nuke:

[Guaranteed]

6. That's the one.

Yeah, he sounds drunk...but, it doesn't LOOK like he's drinking....I dunno...

[StClone]

2. Link?

Gotta see that...

[Guaranteed]

4. Yeah, it's on my harddrive...don't think I could find it online.

Maybe there's some way I could upload it to DU?

5. I saw it here a long time ago...

3. Any links?

I'd love to see that....and I bet thebigidea could really use some footage like that for his films.

7. I saw that a while ago

When I saw his appearance at the diner this week, repeating the "ribs" stuff, leaning on the diner owner, the first thing I thought of was that wedding video. He was acting the same way, i.e. drunk.

8. I thought he was drunk at the State Of The Union

address...

[supercrash]

9. Yeh..

And at the end of the video he downs his drink in a final gulp

[papau]

10. Gulp of a clear water like liquid in a 2 oz size in tiny glass - VODKA?

:-)

11. Holy shit!

The guy is totally loaded in the video. But wait! He said he hasn't had a drink since he was 40. Certainly I'm mistaken -- that was surely just water in that shot glass.

This video needs to be on The Daily Show.

12. SEEMS?

He IS drunk


The best part??

At the end, the guy who was interviewing says "That was classic"

If George W. Bush ends up in the White House, The Smoking Gun would like to be the first web outfit to formally offer Dubya an artifact for his future presidential library. The Republican's wacky performance in this 1992 wedding video excerpt--shot years after Bush went cold turkey in July 1986--needs to be preserved for future generations. 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.
