“He appeared to be drunk to me.
No, he is just stupid”

One thing Bobby Rush is not, is stupid. See below. Also, Rush is recovering from cancer, which is why he sounds so slurred. At a recent gathering of Dems in Chicago it was reported:

“Jackson Jr. sought to make peace with fellow South Side congressman Bobby Rush, who is recovering from cancer treatment. ...”

From Wiki:

“Rush was born in Albany, Georgia. He was educated at Roosevelt University (bachelor’s degree), the University of Illinois at Chicago (master’s degree) and McCormick Theological Seminary (theology degree), all of which are in Chicago. He served in the United States Army from 1963 to 1968, was a co-founder of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party, and was an insurance agent and member of the Chicago City Council before entering the House.
