In the picture he sure looks shitfaced. But was he? What do you think? Be honest. [View all]

I think he was, in fact, sloshed. But that's no indication that he really was. None of us were there and the news reports don't even suggest it.

So . . . . what do you think? Was he or wasn't he?

Who cares, really? Our better President was being gracious; babylonsister May 2012 #1

I agree with you. Time to move on. He is out of office. President Obama was a gracious host. southernyankeebelle May 2012 #3

I wish I could move on, but I was reading Naomi Kleins, "The Shock Doctrine" again and Cleita May 2012 #7

If it were up to me Cheney would be in jail. I think he was the real president. The problem is the southernyankeebelle May 2012 #9

IMHO thats just his "I love clowning around" face. HereSince1628 May 2012 #2

Same old W, he always just looks goofy to me. Laurian May 2012 #4

i think he was just being his regular jackass self. dionysus May 2012 #5

Sober. I have years of pictures of myself in which I looked drunk. I wasn't. Why virgogal May 2012 #6

It's not. What is of interest to me, and has been since he lied this country into war, is sabrina 1 May 2012 #8

Opinions of Bush do not supersede protocol RZM May 2012 #22

That wasn't my point. He should have been prosecuted, then there would have sabrina 1 May 2012 #24

I've said this many times RZM May 2012 #26

Most here would say no? grasswire Jun 2012 #29

Right now I'd guess that 70 percent of DU would support a prosecution RZM Jun 2012 #37

Just as I suspected. grasswire Jun 2012 #64

Well this is a political message board on the internet RZM Jun 2012 #66

I wouldn't feel any satisfaction about seeing war criminals on trial, I would prefer sabrina 1 Jun 2012 #30

It is basically the case that no US President will ever be tried for war crimes Hippo_Tron Jun 2012 #72

Well, that needs to change. It appears to be the reason why we are getting into so many sabrina 1 Jun 2012 #73

Even That Wouldn't Be Good Enough... KharmaTrain Jun 2012 #49

A giant doofus... sendero May 2012 #13

I don't think Bush has fallen off of the wagon RZM May 2012 #14

"Falling off the wagon" implies that he was ever on it. Frank Cannon May 2012 #18

None of those pics indicate he was drunk RZM May 2012 #20

It's kinder to assume he was drunk that to believe that he was sober during the disastrous sabrina 1 May 2012 #25

I've never seen any evidence to indicate that Bush broke his sobriety RZM May 2012 #27

What about the infamous pretzels picture?? Major Hogwash Jun 2012 #31
