My favorite photo from the bad old days

[NNN0LHI]

Drunk again.

1. Every body was kung foo fighting....

2. I doubt he fell off the wagon during his presidency

More like he just wasn't the smoothest character. That's compounded when you're in the public eye nonstop. We have enough Bush gaffes on tape and in photos to last a lifetime. He accumulated way more than his fair share

7. Nope, he was off the wagon at the time of the pretzel incident

And was on the sauce more frequently than not. Especially towards the end. He looked drunk on his ass at the Olympics in China. He did press conferences when he was red nosed and slurring his words.

He's what they call a dry alcoholic having never gone through a 12 step program.

Read "Fortunate Son" (author was suicided) where he describes Bush' disappearances to Mexico for days. He also allegedly abused Laura. That kind of alcoholic just doesn't go dry without treatment.

16. I don't know

I still see no evidence from during his presidency. 'Fortunate Son' was written before the 2000 election.

Whatever. I still don't think he was drinking then. But it doesn't even matter. He was prone to goofiness even without the sauce.

3. Sigh, I'm glad we have this in contrast

4. Speaking of photos, was this one ever explained?

5. "The drunk has left the limo"

[tridim]

6. That photo has to be photoshopped.

2000-2008 never happened.

9. To hear the GOP and the popular media tell it

I'm quite sure you're correct.

8. 8am: The Decider arrives at the White House

USA USA USA!!!

10. I've always like the Olympics pix from Beijing

Drunker than a boiled owl:

12. Still, nice of him to take Jack Nicholson with him to the event.

.... What?

[xfundy]

13. He looks so...

... pretzeldential.

[onethatcares]

18. prior to my father in law passing on,

he'd get that same look when he pissed his pants, and no one, absolutely no one wanted to get close enough to check it out.

14. Funny stuff.

[MarianJack]

15. My Favorites are...

...falling off of the Segway (spelling?) and ESPECIALLY the holding the upturned umbrella.

Yours is a good one too.

PEACE!

17. At least Gerald ford was just clumsy, not drunk and clumsy
