Not one TV host has even alluded to the fact that Boehner seemed a little

[gateley]

lubed during his speech. Couldn't they at least say "You can tell this race has been tiring for Mr. Boehner, he seems EXHAUSTED -- he's even slurring a word or two."

I know it wouldn't really accomplish anything, but I'd certainly enjoy it!

[babylonsister]

1. lol. That'd never happen, but I'd enjoy it, too!

:D

:hi:

[gateley]

3. Fox would certainly comment if Obama came out and was burping and slurring -

of all the times to have journalistic integrity! :evilgrin:

:hi:

[Marie Marie]

13. Absolutely!!

Now, let's speculate on what the Fair and Balanced channel would have to say if Obama began crying like a little girl during one of his speeches. Anyone...???

[cutlassmama]

2. I thought the same thing. Drunk as a skunk.

[Brickbat]

4. The guy freaking BURPED on TV. He's an embarrassment to the process.

[gateley]

6. And burped and burped, and burped... nt

[Brickbat]

8. I thought he was going to hurl on that first one...he looked worried.

[gateley]

9. Someone posted on the video thread -- Absolutely amazing. I've never seen

someone choke down vomit TWICE in one speech! :rofl:

[zbdent]

5. a Republican can do crack cocaine on live TV off the naked backside of

an 8 year old boy ...

and the "liberally biased media" wouldn't make a scene ...

[gateley]

7. I'm watching MSNBC and their bread and butter is/are progressives. We'd love

it!

[Bitwit1234]

10. Don't you worry...he is so much of an alcoholic that sooner

or later he is going to blow up on the air and people will see he is a drunk. Not capable of running the House.

[gateley]

18. Not sure - it seems as though he's a functioning alcoholic except when he

goes on those crying jags. A friend of mine's mother was a practicing alcoholic for YEARS, it never cost her a job or resulted in her falling down the stairs or anything like that.

[Kadie]

11. When I first saw him on tv last night I thought he was

having a stroke. I took notice when he came on and got really concerned. I thought they were going to be taking him to the hospital!

:shrug:

[VAliberal]

17. yup - I thought dude was either drunk

or stroking out.

[gateley]

19. That's exactly what a friend of mine thought (who hasn't seen/heard him

before - I sent her the video). She said - wow, I assumed he'd had a stroke!

[Marie Marie]

12. Why no - can't talk about his being a full blown alcoholic.

But we can spend 3-4 years obsessing on and reporting every single detail about Bill Clinton's sex life. But we should definitely go into complete denial that the third in line to the presidency is a drunk. Especially since that worked out so well with the Dry/Wet (?)drunk Bush.

[Poboy]

14. A crying drunk. Plain as day. -nt

[barbtries]

15. i was wondering about that.

nobody wanted to mention the elephant in the room. from what i saw he was more than a little lubed.

[Jamastiene]

16. Dude can't hold his liquor...

and liquored up he most certainly was.

I saw the video online later. While I was watching it, I was glad I didn't have a 3D computer monitor. Dude was fitshaced.

[Warren DeMontague]

20. Bill Maher will mention it.

The others, not so much.

[GeorgeGist]

Not to mention ...

the glow of jaundice.

[GeorgeGist]

21. Not to mention ...

the glow of jaundice.

[Rex]

22. Because we have no real huge, mainstream, objective driven, media outlet

anymore. ALL NEWS on cable is for entertainment purposes only (as per their lawyers) and SHOULD NOT be construed into ideas to take the place of your own. Nor does the M$M decide elections for US, no they merely tell us what we need to hear. Honest.

[Cleita]

23. Their networks probably didn't want any lawsuits.

There has been innuendo about the "emotion" he showed with his crybaby act but they couldn't come out and say it. Randi Rhodes did say it on the radio today though.

[lonestarnot]

24. that and the fact that someone took a brillo pad to him before he got on the TV box.

Why no mention of that?

[Rex]

25. because THEN they would have to bring up the sand paper and

why he eyebrows glow red when he is 'properly vetted'. :booze:
