      <![CDATA[To paraphrase Leo from "The West Wing," which I watched during one of those snow days we had: You think in the last hundred years there hasn't been an alcoholic in the Oval Office?<br />
<br />
So what if he's been drinking. He probably has been. He's a fuckup and he was a fuckup before he went back to booze. He was a fuckup from day one. I don't think his blood alcohol content made that big a difference in how he ran this country. And this juvenile whispered speculation just makes you all at the Stranger look cheap and amateurish, Frizzelle. The vices of the president don't matter and never have, until they affect job performance. Bush never had any job performance to affect.

      <![CDATA[THANK YOU. I thought I was the only one who saw this! Listen to how he's calling on members of the press corps - it reminds me so much of conversations I've had when I meet tipsy acquaintances somewhere. "Oh yeah, that's your name! How are you! Ha ha ha!"<br />
<br />
I don't know, is it possible that it's early-onset Alzheimers or something? It's definitely something...

      <![CDATA[I have a friend who is a drug and alcohol counselor that is quite sure that Bushie has been drinking since just after or around Katrina... some sort 'controlled' imbibing at first that has gotten looser in the last 6 months, since just before the election...<br />
He describes all sorts of behavior that backs him up;  I will see if he will put it here.

      <![CDATA[Bwahahaha!  You've got to be kidding me!  You're stooping this low to discredit the president?  You must still be bitter over Algore's loss in 2000, and the exceedingly pathetic John Kerry's attempt to dislodge him in '04.<br />
<br />
History will show President Bush to be a great, or near great president, as Michael Medved as so eloquently argued.  He cut taxes, he took the war on terror to the enemy, and one week from the end of his term, we haven't been attacked.<br />
<br />
All you leftist losers who whine about "torture" and "Gitmo" reveal how you really are treasonous traitors by opposing policies that keep America safe, and by attacking this president in a time of war, thus encouraging the enemy.<br />
<br />
You are no better than Hanoi Jane.

      <![CDATA[Unfortunately, it does appear to be the best explanation for many elements of his behavior. As much as I am against drug testing in almost all circumstances, I am slightly amazed that we don't drug test for this office, from the time they come in until the day they leave. If found positive, then follow the rules of succession until they're out of rehab. 3x and they're out.
