I’ve been convinced for at least the past six months that Bush is back on the sauce. There’s no other reasonable explanation for how wrongheaded and erratic he’s been with his thinking for a while now.
I don’t know that he’s drinking or not.
People elected Gutless Wonder - *knowing* that he was a Gutless Wonder - and he has *always* been a frat-boy slacker that did the absolute *minimum* required.
If you’ll remember, his *first* act as president was to turn a blind eye to White House vandalism that was more extensive than the general public was allowed to know.
His follow-up act was during the Chinese vs. EP-3 incident where he allowed them to damage and forced the plane to land, held the crew captive, dissected it, and ultimately returned it at their leisure *in pieces.* During that time he trotted Colin Powell out to give a half-assed apology.
In another era it would have been considered an *act of war* but no fear - Gutless Wonder was firmly in charge.
It’s not all bad - it’s like a pilot taking his small son to work and seating him in the cockpit of the 747 and telling him “don’t touch anything.” At the time Gutless looked like he might do an OK job of just sitting still and not F-ing things up.
9-11 changed that. Now you needed a vicious, ball-busting *leader* and all you had was Gutless Wonder, who, if you recall, can’t eat a pretzel without choking.
9-12 was the day he should have been forced to resign so someone competent could take over. Coulda, woulda, shoulda…
Incidentally - “Hey Gutless, how many unlawful enemy combatants executed at Guantanamo as of 12-12-2008?” What an abominable POS.
At any rate, as someone that drank heavily - literally a quart+ of Seagrams *every day* 365 days/yr for *decades* - I think his being a dumb F isn’t alcohol related. IOW, he’s a dumb F whether alcohol is involved or not. That’s our Gutless Wonder!
My opinion, of course.
