* DRUNK video clip link

[upi402]

This demeanor is very similar to the wedding vid clip where he is known to be drunk.
A "recovering" alcoholic who is given the responsibility of 'the football' and has slipped off the wagon is too dangerous to let continue.
Alcoholism has, as one of its components in recovery, a dealing with the insanity of the disease. Step 2 of the AA 12 step program deals with this character defect.

This man needs to be removed from office immediately. It is even more dangerous than a man with mental illness of another sort holding the Presidency.

This is very very dangerous. The media traitors will not touch this. We may be in deeper trouble than we thought it could possibly be.

crooksandliars.com -thank you very much.

1. C&L is a fantastic resource. they deserve applause!

:headbang:
:yourock:
:woohoo:

[lady raven]

7. Even my mom, who keeps quiet but whom I believe is a closet Freeper,

Thought there was something TERRIBLY wrong. Her comment: "Drunk or stroke". Well, he's talked "normally" (uh, well, you know what I mean) since then, so that pretty much rules out a stroke.

Can being drunk while performing his duties be considered a "high crime or misdemeanor"?

46. 25th Amendment

http://www.doctorzebra.com/prez/a_amendment25.htm

"Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President."

But then we'd get Cheney--unless/until he also becomes "disabled" or INDICTED.

51. >>>>>>>>Hey! That's the clip *I* did-from CanOFun<<<<<<<<

I compiled it and created it-Crooks and Liars must have copied it from my site.>

[Mika]

52. Good work, liveoaktx. I wish you'd do Quicktime like C&L does.

I can't seem to get your WMP vids to play on my OSX mac, and I'd just love to see more of them. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:


:hi:

[buzzard]

65. Same here I can't play wmp on my mac.n/t

[liveoaktx]

67. I'm learning about doing conversions right now-do you know

if the files can be MP4/MPEGs? Not familiar with them, but it looks like that's the newest format for MACS. Can you verify?

[Francine Frensky]

74. Not an expert, but as I can't see your videos either, my 2cents:

first, I doubt mac is going away from quicktime as that seems to be one of their flagship programs. Quicktime is available in a lot of places for free, is it something you could use?

second, I love the idea of your website and I really wish I could see what you've got. One request if you have all of the clips in some format where they could be edited together: I've always thought someone could make an incredible video of all the times bush has smiled when talking about death and destruction. He does it all the time; I can recall a few famous times myself, and I'd love to see them edited together with the tag line of "why is this man smiling?"

[leftchick]

53. it is excellent!

you are a gem liveoaktx!

:)

[liveoaktx]

55. Thanks. I've asked Crooks and Liars to attribute this to me and also

to please not copy videos from my site without permission.

[leftchick]

57. I was wondering about that

I certainly never thought C&L would do that. I hope they give you the credit.

[Coltrane]

70. I attributed you with the clip

I received this clip many times over the weekend from different people. I didn't go to your site and take it off. I have amended the post and given you credit for the video. I'm sorry if I offended CanOFun. :-)I saw this thread today and tried to email the website, but couldn't find an email address.

[Fridays Child]

2. Oh, shit. He was skunked.

Knee-walking, commode-hugging skunked.

Edited to add that I nominated this thread. The video needs broad coverage.

[beam me up scottie]

3. If he hadn't been

hugging that podium, he would have done a face plant in front of gawd and everybody.

[upi402]

6. It's like when drunks at the bar yell into your face

from 3" away!

Yes, you could hear them from a block away. Yes, their breathe could solve the energy crisis. No, you can't get away from the idiot cuz you're still acting civilized.

[beam me up scottie]

9. BWAHAHA !

Ah, the nights I had to beat off drunken, shouting, groping morons when I went up to the bar to get a beer...

And now we have one in charge of the country.

[spancks]

4. He's fucking shitfaced!!!

Being a former party-animal-lush-mess myself, I know one when I see one, and that man is plastered!!!

Mr. President, you are EXCUSED!

SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD

:kick:

[beam me up scottie]

5. Me too.

You could practically see the fumes coming off of him.

Welcome to DU.

[spancks]

11. thanks, beam me up scotty!

I'm very glad to be here!

[MinneapolisMatt]

8. Oh. My. God.

He is drunk.

[chalky]

10. I wish the clip hadn't stopped when they got off the plane.

I would have liked to have seen him staggering across the lawn, with Laura desperately trying to prop his drunk ass up.

You could tell he was three sheets to the wind by the way he flung his arm around Pickles and nearly knocked her over.

[cornfedyank]

83. are you sure that clip was real?

i do not watch much tv, but that sure looked like she was holding him up.

[Fridays Child]

12. Money shot: blurry but unmistakable, it's the...

...unsuccessfully stifled drunken belch.



At the end of the clip, he grabbed hold of Laura and actually listed into her, as if he lost his balance. Then, they both grinned, like shameless boozehounds, right into the camera.

[spancks]

13. ROFL!!

:rofl:

[beam me up scottie]

14. *Snort!

:rofl:

[Boo Boo]

16. Yeah, he's trying to ventilate; blow off some of the excess.

Never works, tho.

:rofl:

[vogonity]

61. Is this when he does that "cheek puff" thing? n/t

[The Jacobin]

86. I know what that is.

That is the "Holy Shit! I'm not just buzzed, I'm drunk and I have to look sober" breath. A couple of deep breaths and blow them out in an attempt to keep the world from spinning and the speech from slurring.

[scarlett1]

79. To me it looked as if he was about to feel her up

I was hoping the clip would have continued because I was waiting for Laura to grab his hand so he wouldn't grab her breast.

Edit typo

[Diane R]

15. He's plastered.

I wish we had more footage from that appearance.

[beam me up scottie]

18. I was thinking the same thing.

I wonder what happened to it...

[Fla Dem]

58. No wonder no one wants Bush campaigning with them...hic. LOL n/t

[shenmue]

17. Woohoo!

Party down!

I've been thrown out of places for being a lot less @#&$ed up than that.

[upi402]

19. Jesus wishes to chime in

[MojoXN]

64. Dude, that's too great...

WHERE did you find that laughing Jesus? He's awesome!

MojoXN

[napi21]

20. Actually, I think Shrub is better for the US when he's drunk.

He's less of a danger, and seems a bit docile. Let him go, and lat Laura deal with it later.

[upi402]

23. Pickles will clean up the broken glass and bury the bodies

of our fallen heroes and innocent citizens.
I just can't believe the insanity this country has accepted as tolerable.
Not you, I know what you're saying. But the loyal * supporters.

[Fridays Child]

21. Some more here...

Check out how he was leaning into that podium. His balance was ...ahem...compromised, to say the least.

http://www.jerrykilgore.com/contents/ontheroad/110705/

[upi402]

26. Save this clip! Quick, does anyone know how?

Kilgore will pull it soon.

[Maraya1969]

31. I don't know how to save them. Maybe on a CD?

[Fridays Child]

35. I got it

[upi402]

42. excellent!

Planet earth must thank you for your good work.
Save that, I say thanks!

[HeeBGBz]

56. I've isolated it but don't know how to save it.

http://www.jerrykilgore.com/contents/media/videos/bushgotv.swf

Its a bigger screen. I'm still trying to save.

[egadsbrain]

78. jerry, jerry, jerry...

It sounds just like the Jerry Springer Show! Chimp & Pickles the featured guests! I'm expecting to see Condi or Karl to come running out from backstage and hit someone over the head with a chair...

:rofl:

[beam me up scottie]

27. Okay, what the hell does he have in his pants?

You'll have to go to the site to check out the enlarged image because I couldn't post it.

[Fridays Child]

30. I think it's...

...a Marine. :bounce:

[upi402]

32. bunny ears?

Just a guess. ;)

[Roland99]

60. DIRECT LINK to the Shockwave File!! >>>>>

http://www.jerrykilgore.com/contents/media/videos/bushgotv.swf

[vogonity]

63. At the end when he was walking through the crowd...

He seemed like he was close enough to people that they could have smelled the booze. I wonder if anyone will ever admit that they smelled alcohol.

[jackstraw45]

75. Bush: "He's workin' HARD...."

:rofl:

[KT2000]

22. Yesh - but

he was talkin bout integerty.
If I'm not mistaken, I think he almost hocked a loogie on stage too.

:scared:

[autorank]

24. Damn, break out the beer bong. He's totally loaded. Lord are we screwed.

:freak:

[Maraya1969]

25. You mean the video with Killgore? I'm going to watch again.

Please point me in the right direction if I am wrong.

[Carolab]

28. Remember when Nixon took to drinking?

http://hnn.us/blogs/comments/16341.html

About that Drinking Story that's Making the Rounds
On a blog like this one it is incumbent on us to comment, it seems to me, on the National Enquirer story that George W. Bush has fallen off the wagon:

Family sources have told how the 59-year-old president was caught by First Lady Laura downing a shot of booze at their family ranch in Crawford, Texas, when he learned of the hurricane disaster. His worried wife yelled at him: "Stop, George."


The story quotes some anonymous sources (naturally) and the psychiatrist/professor Justin Frank, who last year wrote a psychobio of Bush (see the article by him published by HNN.) Frank says he believes Bush has resumed drinking.

Over at Cliopatria Jonathan Dresner bravely deconstructs the story. He reaches the conclusion that it won't matter to Bush's supporters if Bush has started drinking and probably shouldn't matter to Bush's critics (he was bad before he drank; will drinking make him worse?).

I disagree. I think that in this case it can safely be argued that if President Bush actually has started drinking we had all better pray for his swift recovery. Presidents have to be clear-headed 24 hours a day. Often they have to act before all the facts are in. Usually, advice from aides requires choices to be made. Should a president suddenly be unable to think quickly or decisively bad decisions will almost certainly result--either because he makes a bad decision or his aides decline to bring a matter to him in a timely manner for him to make a decision. Anthony Summers, whether his account of Richard Nixon was sexed-up or not, demonstrates persuasively the risks of a president who indulges. One day Nixon and Kissinger were talking on the phone. A Kissinger aide, David Young, listening in, heard a distinctly drunk Nixon tell Kissinger, referring to North Vietnam, 'Henry, we've got to nuke them."

[Maraya1969]

37. Oh man, this guy could push the red button! There must be people

around to make sure he doesn't do something that stupid right? I'm feeling very grateful for the secret service right now.

[Tom Joad]

91. It's all Cindy's fault. And she's comin back for Txgiving!

Family sources have told how the 59-year-old president was caught by First Lady Laura downing a shot of booze at their family ranch in Crawford, Texas, when he learned of the hurricane disaster. His worried wife yelled at him: "Stop, George."

I don't take this stuff seriously. It is the national enquirer for cryin out loud.

[Maraya1969]

29. Most alcoholics do not recover and the ones that recover are mostly

the ones who go to AA. I've seen plenty of people try to stay sober by going to church and most end up drunk. I'm not saying it can't be done. but I have heard from a lot of people who tried that way and failed. I don't think they have AA meetings in the White House.


Of course you could take the route my grandmother did to help my grandfather stay sober. Fire a shotgun right over his head and into the bedroom wall. I guess that bullet made an impression on him also.

Now that I think about it drinking alcoholics are notorious liars. Maybe that is why our pResident can't tell the truth.

[Fridays Child]

33. He was looking pretty "happy" in this still shot from Kilgore's site...

[Maraya1969]

38. And Laura has that Stepford wife look again!!!

[beam me up scottie]

39. I love the look on Kilgore's face.

He's going "Oh man, I'm screwed."

[Carolab]

43. Couldn't be clearer, could it? n/t

[beam me up scottie]

45. Yep. And the people

behind them look like they couldn't be any more underwhelmed.

They knew.

[Boo Boo]

48. I like the guy in the white shirt straight behind Bush

He's kinda blurry, so who knows, maybe I'm reading what I want, but he looks like he's gettin' the picture.

[beam me up scottie]

59. Yeah, heh heh.

He's got the same expression on his mug as Kilgore, but without the fake smile.

[upi402]

40. Ahh, OK *that's* what he has in his pants.

BOING!

[upi402]

34. Actually, I will pray for his recovery.

Just one of those superceding kinda things.
Anyhow, 1 in 35 get sober and stay sober. Church usually is the back door out of sobriety and into the bar.
Like changing deck chairs on the Titanic. Or trading one line of Bullshit for another.

[Carolab]

36. Yup. He is a classic case alright.

The lying and the over-the-top embrace of religion as salvation.

Boy, do I know this type. Charismatic and dangerous.

[caledesi]

41. OMG! I almost can't believe it. Did you see the end where *

"swings" his arm around Lauara? He's DRUNK!

[funflower]

44. OH MY GOD. That is scary.

[funflower]

47. Here's a funny, old video clip of a slightly drunk Shrub at a wedding.

He's actually pretty funny and likeable here.

http://www.badmash.org/videos/videos_flv.php?v=bush_tsg512K_Stream.flv&t=DrUnkBYA

[upi402]

87. Yep, the Wedding Tape

He woulda been fun to party with, just nohingt with him in a position of authority -even much responsibility.

[chat_noir]

49. for posterity

Look at that grin.




The C&L clip is a compilation of MSM news. None of them noted his "strange behavior" did they?

[Boo Boo]

81. That's a great picture. I like the expression on the face

of the woman right over Bush's left shoulder.

Bush's face looks weird in the piccies and the vid. It's like he's wearing one of those fat-suits they use in movies. He's puttin' on the pounds at an alarming rate.

[Freedomfried]

82. Note most people in the background looking at the applause sign?

[Catfight]

50. The way he always hangs his arm around Laura is disrespectful.

He uses her as a leaning post and demoralizes her. He reminds me of a a frat boy who thinks his girlfriend is property. How can this family be representative and in charge of this once great great country? What a waste of so much, a surplus, young soldiers lives that could be alive today if it weren't for bush, a once united country after 9/11, he squandered that and everything else pandering to a small group of rich right winged opportunities who want more riches. It's just sad, I really wish every cable news channel had nothing on but the "Bush Impeachment" trials. That would be something to watch and cheer for while our country reunites itself without this corruptness of this administration.

[0007]

85. I totally agree with you! This man is absolutely classless.

[QC]

54. He's poisoned! n/t

[spinbaby]

62. Is there a Quicktime link to this anywhere?

I'm pretty limited on what I can play on my work computer.

[ronnykmarshall]

66. That dude is toasted.

[Hobarticus]

68. If not drunk, that folksy 'mouth fulla cotton' drawl is ridiculous...

"He doesn't have a lot of fancy airs..."

Jesus. Sounding like a corn-pone does not a man-of-the-people make.

[Chimichurri]

69. Ah tole err I'd taake eer tu exotic placesss ifff she mahrreed meh

*hiccup*

you can't make this stuff up! He's such an embarrassment

[TrogL]

77. I didn't quite believe it until I heard that line

He's totally blotto.

[Bouncy Ball]

71. Wow. That has to be the drunkest he's ever been on tape.

That was just completely obvious, please, the man was slurring his ass off and drunker than Cooter Brown.

He never quit drinking. And he probably has "wet brain" to boot.

Great.

[spanone]

72. Drunk as the monkey he is.

[Bouncy Ball]

73. HIC!

I could just about smell his 180 proof breath through the monitor. Whew!

How can you see someone like that in PERSON and not know they're drunk when it's so obvious even on tape?

I've seen him like this before, just not this obvious. I grew up with an alcoholic stepfather. My mom appointed me "watcher of his behavior" to see if he was drinking again (um, he rarely ever stopped!). It's amazing the little nuances of voice, inflection, facial expression and body language you learn is that of a drunk trying to cover up the fact that they've been drinking. It's not a field I ever aspired to be an expert in, but that's what 20 years of Drunk-Watching will get ya.

[lonestarnot]

76. I know wasted when I see wasted! That bitch is wasted!

Globe was right... he's off the wagon. Sick bitch better quit running around spending our money and get to an AA meeting.

[northzax]

80. I love Kilgore's smile there

'oh, shit, I am so fucking screwed, who called this asshole?'

[sepia_steel]

84. Wow - he really IS drunk!

I'm not surprised, just surprised that 'his people' aren't doing a better job of helping him hide it.

CRIMONY!

[tamtam]

88. I'm sure you all already noticed

I'm sorry but the look on Kilgore's face while shrub was slurring was priceless. He had that sly "I'm fucked look" for some reason it reminded me of Seinfeld trying not to laugh at Kramer. :rofl:

[upi402]

89. Is this on TV news? I don't watch anymore

can you tell me if it's on the TV news please?
It's so vitally important. It's doubtful that most Americans will understand how sick this man is. He is very dangerous if he's back drinking. He really MUST be controlled, if not ousted immediately. At least temporarily. He needs inpatient treatment center care, not more Jack Daniels and lies.

[Fiendish Thingy]

90. I can watch the Canofun clip on my Mac...

using WMV running 10.2.8
