One Stop Bush Booze Kiosk

The WP's Dan Froomkin evinces some concern today for President Bush's place on the wagon. Apparently, at last week's off-the-record shin-dig with the scribes, Bush drank a non-alcoholic beer. Ding ding ding! Frets Froomkin, "many if not most recovering alcoholics avoid non-alcoholic beers because they do contain some alcohol, and may in some cases trigger a relapse of drinking." Now, it may be true that drinking non-alcoholic beer can lead to a relapse (which is why we stick to gin), but did we miss a car in the logic train? Bush may not drink alcohol any more, but he's never said he was an alcoholic. What he's said is that "When I was young and foolish, I was young and foolish." Unfortunately, that's where he's had the relapse.

Bush's Obscene Tirades Rattle White House Aides
“Who gives a flying fuck what the polls say,” he screamed at a recent strategy meeting. “I’m the President and I’ll do whatever I goddamned please. They don’t know shit.”

....
Last year, Capitol Hill Blue learned the White House physician prescribed anti-depressant drugs for the President to control what aides called “violent mood swings.” As Dr. Frank also notes: “In writing about Bush's halting appearance in a press conference just before the start of the Iraq War, Washington Post media critic Tom Shales speculated that ‘the president may have been ever so slightly medicated.’”

Cocaine, Booze And Abortions

Sharon Bush apparently told Kelly: “The President did coke at Camp David when his father was President <1989-93> and not just once either.” Camp David is the US presidential retreat. Sharon Bush, however, is now denying that she made the cocaine claim to Kelly.

Proof of coke use in the late 1980s and early 1990s would mean that Bush used the drug after his reported conversion to Christianity. If that was proved to be the case then the one thing that protects Bush from his hard- partying past – his born-again status and his repentance for past sins – would fall to bits. The cocaine claim is therefore political dynamite. Bush has pursued America’s so-called war on drugs with a vengeance. US jails, which now have the highest population figure ever, are filled with drug users.

Even more damaging is the allegation aired by Kelly in her book, The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty, that she has gathered “a great deal of circumstantial evidence” that the President helped arrange for a girlfriend to have an abortion in the 1970s.




The nut doesn't fall far from the tree division...

"Aware that police had been summoned to the hotel, young partygoers fled the room. When officers arrived, they questioned a small group of young people outside the inn--all of whom they suspected had attended the truncated bash. Cops were directed to the group, which included Barbara Bush, either by the hotel's manager or by one of the room's occupants, who had been detained (accounts provided to TSG slightly differed on this point). No arrests were made after police questioned and sought identification from about five individuals.

LYING TO PUBLIC ABOUT DRINKING PROBLEM. Bush made a statement to the news media that he has not taken a drink of alchohol since 1986. Contrary evidence is a video interview at a wedding for Jamie Weiss, the daughter of Dubya's close friends Mike and Nancy Weiss. George W. Bush, seems to be the life of the party--despite his July 1986 vow to never again drink liquor and the statement he made to the public that he hasn't.
