You have to read this on the source--a site for supposedly professional historians--to understand what passes for intellectual insight today. The HNN site has a reply forum and, so far, it's mostly against her rant.

The dry drunk quits drinking, but his or her obsession with the bottle is often replaced with other obsessions. Does this explain certain leftists' obsession with George W. Bush?

Van Wormer managed to type right through her own third paragraph without realizing that she is a complete blithering idiot.

His father, for all his success, experienced failure on three occasions. He was widely criticized for not finishing the job in Iraq-- for not moving the troops in to take out Saddam following the Gulf War victoryThis one is really getting old. Every lefty in the US would have had an outright conniption fit screaming at the top of their lungs that Bush I didn't have the authority or the political expedience to proceed with such a campaign. What a load.

For motivation, simply look to paragraph 2 of the author's bio:
"Katherine van Wormer grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana and received her B.A. in English from the University of North Carolina and went to get a postgraduate degree in education from Queens University, Belfast, Northern Ireland; a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Georgia and finally an MSSW from the University of Tennessee.
Active in the civil rights and peace movements at home and in Northern Ireland, Katherine van Wormer continues to work for peace. Her academic work has been mostly in the area of women in prison and alcoholism treatment. For two and a half years she worked as an alcoholism counselor in Washington State and Ohio, and for two years as a program director at a treatment center north of Hamar, Norway."

Yeah- and Goldwater was judged to be "insane" by a paid for hack armchair shrink of the Dems. This stuff is just sickening. There is more circumstantial evidence to suggest CLinton is a sociopath.

Insofar as this author is NOT an authority on alcoholism, or recovery from same, consider such lay analysis with a tiny grain of salt.
This recovered alcoholic sees in Bush a whole bunch of maturity, rational big picture behavior, humility, spirituality.
Going to Iraq wasn't just Bush's decision, alone. Many others with no alcoholism issues came to the same conclusion, including Cheney, Powell, Rumsfeld, Rice, etc.
O'Neill is a disgrace at best. More like a disloyal incompetent sob.
More words are not justified, against this hit piece.

Professor of Social Work? What the heck is that?
Wonder if they have a Professor of Sanitation Engineering? Or maybe it's the same?

People in the addictions field (and many who spend most of their waking moments at 12-step meetings) think that anyone who is sober and having a bad day is a dry drunk. Everything gets scrutinized to the nth degree.

This is a leftist site, pretending to be respectable.
Is there any reason to give publicity to this trash on FR?
Here is another "gem" from the same site ( I won't bother giving the link):

These social/wordsmiths have never produced a dimes worth of anything in their life. From day one they are consumers as parasites on society, never are they producers.

What is a political smear job written by a "Professor of Social Work" (whatever that is) doing on a site supposedly for professional historians? Don't tell me, Iknow: It;s Bush-bashing commie crap, so they printed it without a second thought (or a first thought).
To: wildbill
A "dry drunk" is someone who acts intoxicated even though never having imbibed an alcoholic beverage. Kind of the way liberals are all the time.
