2. Tabloids (which were spot-on about John Edwards)

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

3. Can Bush just leave us?

Wish we could all leave him.

8. I don't like it when he tries to play president

because too many innocent people end up dying.

4. You would think the MSM liberal media would run with this?

[npincus]

5. nice thought.... Ihope he ends up like Howard Hughes

with 12-inch long fingernails, surrounded by hundereds of jars of his own urine.

[TalkingDog]

18. Personally I hope he ends up like Mr. Pugh....

7. The Enquirer has gotten it right a couple of times. Not sure about the others.

BUT -- if this is true, wouldn't the Enquirer be covering it as well? (I think they may be more cautious because they've been sued so many times.)

11. The Enquirer reported on Bush's boozing in 2005

I posted the link and an excerpt of the article in this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=3788678&mesg_id=3788809

16. The Edwards article had eyewitness accounts from reporters.

And included precise information about location and timing. These "Bush is drinking again" stories are based on "friends say..." type gossip or pseudo-gossip.

The Edwards story was instantly credible to anyone who was really thinking, since if not true it was easily disprovable. Edwards would have had a hell of a lawsuit and lots of public sympathy -- it would have probably been the end of the Nat'l Enquirer. Having already lost a major lawsuit, the NE simply wouldn't have taken that chance. The "drinking again"/"Laura has moved out" stories don't contain disprovable assertions and therefore aren't as credible.

9. National Enquier story "Bush's Booze Crisis"

From the National Enquirer itself and published on 9/21/2005. Talk about long standing rumors.

BUSH'S BOOZE CRISIS

By JENNIFER LUCE and DON GENTILE

Faced with the biggest crisis of his political life, President Bush has hit the bottle again, The National Enquirer can reveal.

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.

His worried wife yelled at him: "Stop, George."

Following the shocking incident, disclosed here for the first time, Laura privately warned her husband against "falling off the wagon" and vowed to travel with him more often so that she can keep an eye on Dubya, the sources add.

10. Nope.. she has too much of her life "invested' in the Bush family

She's waiting to cash in.. Divorcing him now would not be in her best interests.. She'll live her own life and still be married to him.. An ex-First Lady has more cachet, than the ex-wife of a failed president.:)

She made her deal with the devil..she'll hang in there:)

[marmar]

12. Don't know why......I can't think of two more shallow, vacant, less-interesting people.

It's a match made in, well, somewhere other than heaven.

13. The Globe must not be owned by Murdoch - this subject is verboten on Murdoch?

[peacetalksforall]

15. I think she should be rewarded with millions of $ for waiting. What would be

absolutely a disaster is if he took revenge and would not allow alimony. He is all about revenge. It is at the core of his being. It's his common trait to Cheney, He couldn't even air his relationship with his father with grace and restraint. Or class.

[Virginia Dare]

17. She can check out any time she likes..

but she can never leave.

[Tennessee Gal]

19. Dumber and Dumb.

or Dumbest and Dumber.

[progressoid]

20. WHAT THE FUCK? The Globe?

The Globe? That also brought us the Larry Sinclair / Obama Sex scandal?

C'mon people. Get a grip.

[TexasObserver]

21. He's clearly out of control drinking again, and she's had enough

Can't blame her.

I believe she may not divorce him after he leaves office, but she won't live with him or be seen with him often then.

[shadowknows69]

22. I think she just gets deactivated after Jan 09 and Condi moves in.

[pacalo]

23. After all we've learned about him, how could we NOT believe this?

"If you don't do ___, I'll do ___."

Having to put up with the petulance of a lifelong spoiled brat who has been conditioned to get everything he wants, regardless of how he screws up, must be like living in hell. And she has a mean & vicious mother-in-law who is just as controlling. No wonder Laura looks like a robot.

I believe it.

[Joe Fields]

24. If she left him would she become suicided?

I'm thinking she knows a hell of a lot about that family.

[Joe Fields]

25. On second thought, they could give her a lobotomy and no one would notice.

[elehhhhna]

26. Uh they did that before her wedding, silly.

[norepubsin08]

27. she still needs to pay for that kid

she killed!
