"Bush used to be a drunk"

Yeah, that'll win the election for them.

File this under 'bottom of the barrel, scraping'.

You've got to be kidding. How did Raines get this job? This was the only paper that actually printed true stories about Bill Clinton (when he was President) that the US papers ignored.

Yawn...

5 Legislative Days Left Until The AWB Expires

[quidnunc]

The Guardian (which used to be named The Manchester Guardian before it went national) has historically been the liberal newspaper of record in the UK, much as the NY Times is in the US.

George Jr sent out of Texas by father as a 'drunken liability'

But look at him now!

"Bush used to be a drunk"


Well, Kendedy IS a drunk.

I got all that crud in a giddy e-mail from a lib friend today -- 20 pages of it -- it was just incoherent rambling from one bitter woman--totally unsubstantiated by anything and nothing new.

[marvlus]

I assume the Guardian has never heard the story of the Prodigal Son? Too bad.

[NavySEAL F-16]

I have noticed a new viciousness by both the Telegraph and the Guardian lately towards W and Republicans. Actually, they sound like little 12 year old girls gossiping.

I guess they figure we won't notice. HAHAHA!

Al Guardian is global HQ for the Hate America Cult, with a non-stop message of demonization, insult, and distortion for its dwindling audience of middle-class chatterati and Islamofascist immigrant.

I remeber 4 years ago there was "shocking" video of Bush drunk, and it turned out to be a wedding video (you know where the camera goes around the room and people say stupid stuff) and he had, OMG, a drink in his hand.

The drinking demons were already pulled last election. Won't wash this one. They need a new sin.

"KLINTON SOLD CHINA SECRETS TO SUPPORT HIS COCAINE HABIT"--How's that?

[goldfinch]

You notice this woman did not tell her story until her husband died. So the man that Bush 41 supposedly spoke to cannot confirm or deny the story. Same with the story about how 43 got in the National Guard...the 'family friend' who supposedly made the request has recently passed away and can no longer deny the story. These stories are merely hearsay. Besides, unlike Kerry, Bush is not running on his Vietnam era record.

The reason GWB's drunken episodes will never be a problem, he's already made them known to the public.

I've often heard him speak of his abuses of alcohol, even when speaking to guys at half-way houses, etc.

[Rockingham]

This may be annoying but will not change any votes because Bush as a reformed heavy drinker is already well-known and discounted even if the details are obscure. Dragging this up now is the press equivalent of little leaguers heckling a batter: it can be a distraction, but only if the batter lets it affect him.

On the fundamentals, Bush will win or lose based primarily on two things: his performance in office, especially as to jobs and the economy; and whether Kerry is plausible as a better choice. Both of these factors weigh against Kerry.

[Rightfootforward]

Tired old news. And isn't it better to have a SOBER person in the White House, than a whiny, wine-soaked liberal?

[conservative in nyc]

Let me see if I get this straight

1) George H.W. Bush is ambassador to the U.N.
2) X41 calls up a pal in Alabama, tells his friend that his son is a drunk, and asks him to hire the drunk for his political campaign, nonetheless.
3) Even though x41 is Ambassador to the U.N. in New York, he cares whether 43 is in Texas or Alabama. In Texas, 43 will embarrass Bush. But the states of Louisiana and Mississipi somehow insulate the U.N. ambassador from the U.S. from any embarrassment.
4) And his friend hires 43 for his political campaign, even though he's been told that 43 is a drunk that could embarrass him.

This stupid Kerry-planted story makes no sense.

[Seadog Bytes]

Just send 'em back this pic, will you please? Thanks!

[jveritas]

I cannot believe that anyone with an IQ of 80 and higher believes that stories like this are going to hurt President Bush.

Liberals have reached a level of desperation that is beyond comprehension.
