Is George Bush an Alcoholic?

[Der Wehrwolf]

by James Buchanan


The same tabloid newspaper that exposed Rush Limbaugh’s OxyContin addiction has broken a new story about George Bush falling off the wagon. Apparently the pressure of the Katrina disaster has gotten to Bush, but his drinking may go back at least several weeks when his popularity was sliding from 44 percent to his latest new low of 38 percent.

What makes the Katrina disaster especially troubling for Bush is that Bush took a huge gamble diverting money from levee repairs to his Iraq war –and that gamble just came up snake eyes. Bush has to be feeling especially guilty about that if he has any conscience at all. As if the levee scandal isn’t bad enough, Bush’s two hand-picked disaster chiefs, Chertoff and Brown, were enormous failures during the Katrina disaster and New Orleans flood.

One radio show had an interesting discussion about alcoholism and Bush allowing people to call in with their theories. A few callers maintained that it was highly unlikely that someone could just quit drinking alcohol “cold turkey” as Bush claims. Most people need twelve step programs. Two people called in saying that it was possible to quit “cold turkey” and that they had done this themselves through sheer will power. Both of those callers however didn’t think George Bush had the character or will power to stop drinking that way himself.

Did anyone really believe that story about Bush passing out from “choking on a pretzel” during the Superbowl? That story makes it sound like Bush was watching the Superbowl all alone, which is very hard to believe. Wouldn’t there be a few sober people around Bush and the giant screen plasma TV? Someone should have noticed him choking. It seems more believable that Bush was completely smashed, tripped over something and banged his head (as drunks frequently do). All those falls from his mountain bike now seem to have an explanation too.

The breaking news article about Bush’s latest dalliance with alcohol reports “Faced with the biggest crisis of his political life, President Bush has hit the bottle again… Bush, who said he quit drinking the morning after his 40th birthday, has 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… Bush is under the worst pressure of his two terms in office and his popularity is near an all-time low. The handling of the Katrina crisis and troop losses in Iraq have fueled public discontent and pushed Bush back to drink. A Washington source said: ‘The sad fact is that he has been sneaking drinks for weeks now. Laura may have only just caught him — but the word is his drinking has been going on for a while in the capital. He’s been in a pressure cooker for months.’ ”

... a dir poco ...

Però devo confessare anche un'altra cosa, ammesso che l'autore di questo articolo sia lo stesso James Buchanan ex candiato alle elezioni presidenziali USA del ...

Si tratta proprio dello stesso J.B.?

Perché, in tal caso, vorrei suggerirgli di parlarci non solo delle abitudini alcoliste del suo Pres ma anche di altre quisquiglie della geopolitica che il suo paese sta CONTINUANDO in vari luoghi, in questo stesso pianeta, ad esempio in contrade come quella qui sopra ricordata proprio da Maurizio Blondet (Trame Usa Anti-Putin In Lettonia) ...

Why not?
That would be much more interesting and surely more useful from a presidential candidate such as James Buchanan ...
Oder nicht?
Ja?
