She's gone too far this time..."still boozing it up"...I didn't get any farther than that. Why she is such an icon to some conservatives is often quite beyond me.

Bush freely admits he was a party boy back in the '80s, before he turned his life around. Sometimes the truth hurts, but that's no reason to suppress it.

You coulter-bots are sickening. The one and only reason she brought that up wasnt to enlighten us to a bit about Bush past we didnt know, it was so she could turn the knife she put in Bush's back a little.

Well, you know, using the "while Bush was still boozing it up" was not necessary, and in fact appears to me to be a deliberate insult.

Yes, it is true that the President was a drinker 20 years ago. But to make her point she didn't have to use the "boozing it up" phrase. She could have said "20 years ago" or "when his father was vice president" or "when his twins were babies" or any one of a number of time markers. Using the booze comment was deliberate, malicious, and unnecessary.
