Listen, I, I, I wanna to thank, uhh, leaders of the -- in the faith, and uhh -- faith-based and community-based community for being here, we've got people who represent thousands of volunteers who are in the midst of helping save lives.

Community-based community,eh? :wtf:

[Poiuyt]

1. Hey! I happen to live in a community-based community!

[Fleshdancer]

18. me too! It takes a community to live in a community-based community!

it's where I base my community driven community and stuff.

3. He has a way with words.

What did I miss on Thursday? Was there an article about Bush drinking?

[Sydnie]

8. Yeah, in the National Enquirer of all places

but the editor is standing 150% behind their story. I'd love to see blivet** try and sue them. Imagine the stories that would come out then!

[NYC]

24. Not something I usually read.

No wonder I missed it. Thanks. Does that mean that everyone who shops in a supermarket now knows?

26. The link, in case other people missed it.

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

Bush...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.

..."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...

...A Washington source said: "The sad fact is that he has been sneaking drinks for weeks now...

...George had a drinking problem for years that most professionals would say needed therapy. He doesn't believe in it {therapy}, he never got it. He drank his way through his youth, through college and well into his thirties. Everyone's drinking around him."...

4. That's not booze...

That's just dense... He REALLY can not think of the words.

5. proof that Bush is a dumbo is one thing, but avoid alcohol issue

It is politically vulgar and a two-edged sword that can be used where it isn't appropriate against anyone who drinks

Lincoln was once told that Grant (who was winning battles) was drinking, and instructed that a case of whatever Grant was drinking be sent to all the other generals

[eleny]

12. That analogy doesn't hold up

W is no USS Grant. Besides, W has access to atomic weapons. So, if he's drinking I want to know.

[unrepuke]

21. > Grant (who was winning battles)< - some difference!

28. Winston Churchill spent World War II drunk on his ass

but was magnificently functional and effective. The novelist and thinker C.P. Snow once wrote that Churchill was no alcoholic, for no alcoholic could drink that much. Churchill spent his entire day drinking, in the morning, at lunch with an assortment of brandies and liqueurs, and throughout the rest of the day. He is the image of the completely functional and capable alcoholic. He said that you could float a small battleship in the amount of Cognac that he had drunk during his lifetime.

Maybe Bush should completely go back to heavy drinking instead of being a dry drunk who occasionally goes off the wagon. Maybe he would function better. Of course he could never be a Churchill, as he lacks the brains, the vision, and the internal fortitude. But let's say that Bush couldn't function any worse than he already has.

13. "politically vulgar"?

"a two-edged sword"?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Really!

[charlie]

16. No, this is different

Dubya sold himself as a redeemed sinner who crawled out of the bottle by his own two-fisted determination and a helping hand from Jesus. It's not politically vulgar to note that he's drinking... on the job. If it weren't for his ballyhooed redemption, few would begrudge him a couple of drinks at the end of the day.

[Ilsa]

25. I would. It's not about his redemption. He's an alcoholic.

He doesn't know when to stop. And he hasn't been through the therapy and rehab to get to his core issues and see himself for who he is, in all his human failings, instead of seeing himself as God's commander.

[NYC Liberal]

17. The difference being that Grant was winning something.

What has drinking ever caused Bush to win? Or even almost win? He's fucked up everything he's ever touched in his miserable life.

[jobycom]

6. Go back and dig up his speech from Alexandria on 9-11

He was drunk then. He's never stopped drinking.

[bonito]

7. Can't blame him

He lets them pull his strings, and push he's buttons like a fool.

[Cleita]

9. It's been so obvious from the first day he tripped over his

tongue years ago. What took everyone so long to figure it out? In the early days of DU, I had the nerve to suggest that he was still drinking. Oh, no, he's a dry drunk, they said. How dare you suggest he is still drinking? Oh, well a little experience as a bartender kinda told me, however, what do I know?

[BlueEyedSon]

10. So hard to tell... he speaks like that even when he's sober....

[daleo]

11. He's a communist!

These community based communities are all communism, I tells ya.

[Robeson]

14. Bush puts wings on our community-based communities..

[Robertwf]

15. It's Definitely Not Drink

because he's decided he's going to get a job portraying Chevy Chase portraying Gerry Ford from the olden SNL days when he goes into his next career.

[Gronk Groks]

19. Did the TelePrompter break or was he really that out of it...

...like I've said before; please God, make whomever is carrying the football aware that this idiot CANNOT get his hands on it.

Otherwise the Rapture is nigh...

[charlie]

22. I wish

Clinton once winged 6 minutes of a State of the Union while the wrong speech scrolled on his teleprompter. I would loooove to see Dubya in the same situation.

[Athame]

27. You're so right

I had forgotten that....Jeez, now I wonder if that was a Rove trick.
:tinfoilhat:

[DawnneOBTS]

20. W's probably drinking margaritas with "Brownie" as we speak n/t

[Robeson]

23. "You did a great job mixin' these margaritas, Brownie"...

[unrepuke]

29. Maybe what he said was; "Ya did a *hic* of a job, Brownie"

;-)

[Demit]

30. LOL! Was just perusing threads & saw your pun. Good one!
