What's the latest on gw's drinking, or the state of his marriage post presidency? Anything juicy?

[Lil Missy]

I had heard at one time that Laura was living in a fancy hotel, and was going to divorce him and have her own place after leaving the WH.

Enquiring minds want to know! :)

PS Edit: What's the latest on Laura's book deal? Is it going to be a "tell all" about his drinking and buffoonery? I'd like to hear the REAL story about the pretzel incident!

1. Nat'l Enquirer says he's been off the wagon since Katrina

And before anyone flames me for quoting the NE, this isn't the "Aliens Land in Topeka" kind of tabloid; gossip and scandal is something they do very well. Ask John Edwards.

3. It's not as if we have not seen the evidence for ourselves!

My mother, a steadfast bush lover, quit buying the NE because they report bad things about her savior.

So I don't see the "poop" on him anymore.

2. The latest is that he is going to live in Crawford and Laura is going to live in the new house.

5. Good for her. And I hope it becomes public that she left him. n/t

4. The Bushes will treat Pickles like they did Neil's ex-wife. If Laura

threatens to go public, they give her hush money and remind her of all the convenient deaths of Bush enemies.

6. Laura looks and acts like she's on heavy meds

Either that or she is totally without a soul. How any sane or ethical being could occupy the same air space as that evil bastard is beyond me.

9. Xanax

8. I doubt her life would be threatened. Even the Mafia don't kill the mother's of their children.

What happened to Neil's ex?

[Ilsa]

16. The Bush's sued her for slandering Neil, but I think the judge threw out

the case. Their divorce took a couple of years and involved claims that Neil fathered a child with his new wife while she was still married to her prior husband. Also, there was a deposition about Neil going to Asia on a business trip and his contacts there provided him with underage prostitutes. Really ugly stuff. Sharon sounds like a nut also, but I guess being around the Bushes for that long makes you crazy!

In the deposition videotape, he says, “I had had sexual intercourse with perhaps three or four, I don't remember the exact number, women, at different times.”

Sharon Bush says, “I was stunned. I'm still stunned.”

Then she says came another shock in divorce court, her settlement. Although she agreed to it, she now claims she was pressured into signing it.

It requires her and her children to move out of their longtime home so it can be sold. Of what's left after lawyers and bills are paid, Sharon gets 75 percent. She also is getting alimony, about $30,000 a year, but that ends after four years when all her children are 18.

Sharon says that what she really wanted for her children was a little more time. In a letter, she says, she appealed to George Sr., whom she affectionately called "Gampy," for help, asking him to help her stay in the house with the children for just another four years.

He wrote, "I do believe the kids would happily adjust to a new house, even if it is not as grand as the one you are now living in." He also told her to "forget the past with Neil…find a job, and look to the future not the past."

He is helping provide her another house, but only to stay in while her children are still living with her. In five years, she'll have to pay the bills herself or move.

So this stay-at-home mom is preparing to look for a job. The former teacher says, “Not in my wildest dreams would I have imagined it, or I would have prepared myself more.”

I think Sharon probably got screwed by the Bushes. She's a devoted follower of TV evangelist Joel Osteen. :puke:

13. I want some gossip! Anything! Except ... you know ...

[Enrique]

15. I just read he's trying to cheat her out of millions in their divorce

it was on the cover of some rag at the gas station.

[Lil Missy]

17. All the more reason for a "tell all" book from Laura.

18. PS - I have to take "rag mag" mother on errands in the morning. Which gossip mags should I look for?
