Bush Boozing It Up (pix)

[Sugar Smack]

[Richardo]

1. God forbid he should get drunk - he might do something crazy...

Oh. Never mind. :blush:











PS: :hi: Sugie!!

[Sugar Smack]

3. Hey, Richardo!!

Lovely response!!:rofl: :loveya: You always crack me up!

[beachmom]

26. Actually, he might do better drunk, especially if he pairs that

with ditching the fundamentalist "I'm right" religion.

[Sugar Smack]

28. He's a scary little ghoul, isn't he?

I bet his most staunch supporters will find a way to see this as acceptable. He has no business drinking if he's "reformed". I do wonder what they are saying about this!

;-)

[Crankie Avalon]

2. "I can quit anytime I want to..."

"...but I won't let you pressure me into an artificial timetable for when I'm gonna want to."

[Sugar Smack]

10. "Sure ya can, 'puffy'!"

I'd love to be a fly on the wall.

[Gruenemann]

4. Caption for bottom pic:

Mmmm! Fresh urine!

[Sugar Smack]

11. LOL! I just added another pic, but doesn't he look all lit up, like a

Christmas tree? In all the pics?

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

5. Seems to me I read

somewhere the man claimed to be an alcoholic. Said he got sober etc,etc,etc. Well, if you are an alcoholic you can never drink again. Sure hope that's apple cider in those glasses.........

[Mabus]

6. apple cider with food coloring in that third pic

Or maybe it is just grape juice. ;)



Yeah, right. :rofl:

[Sugar Smack]

8. That ain't apple juice, cuz...

:o We've been privy to so many pics recently of Bush at this dinner or that dinner with drink firm in hand. Amazing to me that our mealy-mouthed media aren't making just a lil' more of this than they are. Yes, he's supposedly a "reformed" alcoholic, and no, you aren't even supposed to have one drink if that's what you are. Sad, eh? He's back off the wagon.

[Warpy]

7. He's not drinking alcohol every time he has a glass in his hand

and I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on some of these.

First picture: fizz in the host's glass and no fizz in Stupid's and Laura's glasses. Best guess: white grape juice.

Second pic does look a little incriminating.

Third pic: clear liquid in host's glass, purplish liquid in Stupid's glass, probably red grape juice.

Third pic, red liquid in host's glass, clear liquid in Stupid's glass, either water or white grape juice.

Fourth picture could be cider.

I think he's being kept on a really short leash. The last time he "escaped" was the meeting with Putin before the G-8. There is a beer bottle at Stupid's place at the table and Putin is looking at him with an expression of alarm that everyone who's lived with an alcoholic knows all too well.

His behavior at the G-8 speaks for itself.

[Sugar Smack]

12. Yeah, you know at first it seemed to be

solely about his behavior, but I'm starting to see a LOT of pics of him holding glasses of amber liquid or gold liquid, and his puffy face says a lot to me.

[Warpy]

14. I grew up in an alcoholic family

and married a nice guy who turned himself into an alcoholic.

It is all about the behavior, the glazed eyes, the stumbling gait. It's not about the color of what's in the glass.

[Sugar Smack]

16. Well, you're right about that.

I've seen it happen, too. It's also about the defensiveness I see in Bush's speech when he's confronted about anything. But I agree that the color of what's in the glass may or may not mean it's alcohol. His behavior is what makes me think he's back on the booze.

[PDittie]

19. Right you are

I just don't think * drinks wine, anyway. Too classy for him. Here's the photo you mention:



Note the bottles chilling in the background, next to the buffet table. Didn't know you could get Schlitz in Europe.

[Sugar Smack]

21. LOL! Look at that expression.

He's about to belch.

[twilight_sailing]

36. That's a good one!

[Sugar Smack]

52. It's a good thing that lucky bastard

doesn't have to drive himself anywhere, right?

[Ilsa]

72. I think he still thinks about that when he's ready to have a glass.

He probably remembers when he DUI'ed, and is thinking he doesn't have to do shit now that he has handlers to whisk him off to his room if he gets too far gone.

I wonder what Putin is writing about him in his journal and later memoirs.

[NoSheep]

42. Is Chimpy being asked about the spot where he peed on the floor?

[Sugar Smack]

46. *snort*!

All he needs is a rolled-up newspaper for a good pop across the nose. :spray:

[Eurobabe]

43. Putin directs Bush to sit next to him for some sushi

[Sugar Smack]

51. And Bush looks on, stumped as usual.

[Eurobabe]

64. Or maybe he just drank the Polonium cocktail?

[Warpy]

53. Thanks for the refresher

because I've seen that look on Putin's face on my own, glanced in the mirror.

Alcoholics who have been kept on a short leash get falling down drunk on relatively little alcohol. It's an amazing process that mirrors a junkie in early withdrawal losing the physical discomfort the second he manages to score.

Stupid's face shows pretty clearly what is going on. Putin may be many things, but he's not stupid. That look on his face says he's already regretting trying to get Stupid drunk enough to say things he shouldn't.

(that pointed finger makes me wonder if Stupid pissed on the floor)

[spillthebeans]

70. His hair and expression look like he's been sleeping in his clothes nt

[intheflow]

63. Fizz can also be ginger ale.

But I've lived with enough alcoholics to know that they often feel they can justify drinking a glass of wine (or 5) with dinner just to be social. I doubt Laura would allow him more than two glasses, though, at any given event where she was by his side. And then only if he didn't have to speak or greet anyone.

[stlsaxman]

66. After almost every toast I've seen he places the glass on the table after the host sips...

it's a polite way us alcoholics have of joining in w/o having to drink.

If he HAD taken a drink in public, even the puppy press couldn't keep itself from a "scandal" story of that magnitude.

I too give him the benefit.

[Fridays Child]

9. What's up with that mano a mano eyeballing thing he does...

...whenever he clinks glasses with world leaders? Whatever he may think he's accomplishing with that, it demonstrates an absolutely stunning level of immaturity. B*sh is so out of his element.

[Sugar Smack]

13. He knows he's in way over his head.

At this point it's like he's playing at being an adult, and probably needs a way to sleep at night.

[Fridays Child]

17. Exactly! Playing at being an adult. That's what it is. Good call!

[Sugar Smack]

23. Thanks! I just can't get those images of him

riding a bike and wanting to be ahead of everyone, the scraped-up face, and him farting at interns out of my head.

[twilight_sailing]

15. Easy to read his expression here.

[Sugar Smack]

18. OH, yes, I'd been looking for that one!

There are the glazed eyes, and the look of absolute HUNGER on his face. He's wanting to snort that thing in one gulp. That picture is a perfect example. Thank you for that.

[valerief]

24. You mean Low Alcohol Security, not Hunger. nt

[Sugar Smack]

25. NICE!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :applause:

[MisterP]

60. ew, he looks like his mother there

[stlsaxman]

67. Wow! THAT is a telling photo! Thanks! n/t

[T Town Jake]

20. The visual evidence is compelling, and the verdict is in:

...he's on a long term bender. Let's just hope they've got a "buffer" between him and the nuclear launch codes, like they had to do back in the days of Watergate when there was speculation that Dick might want to go down in a "blaze of glory" - literally.

God help us all.

[Sugar Smack]

22. Oh, man. The very idea.

I'm fervently hoping there's a buffer as well! :scared:

[lebkuchen]

27. Booze probably played a part in his breaking the leg of a Scottish cop

while riding his bike at the 2005 Gleneagles G-8 summit

[Sugar Smack]

29. I'd personally be more comfortable

with him on a trike in a padded cell. I think you're right about that, too. He is way too accident-prone to be sober.

[lebkuchen]

30. That's why he has to wear a helmet w/elbow & knee pads while on bike

The Secret Service know he's going to drink. Who at the G-8 summit doesn't?

[Sugar Smack]

31. We should hand out helmets and knee pads to the

Secret Service as well! :toast:

[Minnesota_Lib]

32. I wish I was better at Photoshop....but here is a lame attempt.

Abe: "Nice aim, Mr. Washington."

I'd love to see someone with PS talent redo this with an actual liquid stream.

[Sugar Smack]

33. Heeheeeeee!

OK, that really made me laugh!! I think the "amateur" quality is priceless! I'd leave that one be.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :patriot:

[Deja Q]

34. I could use a good drink too...

:beer:

[Sugar Smack]

35. Heh heh!

"The Decider" has gone downhill & has dragged lots of people with him.

:toast: I'm having a little apple juice right now!:D

[MoonRiver]

37. But, but that's just "apple juice",

;)

[Sugar Smack]

38. "And I am Marie of Rumania!"

;-) ;-) :toast:

[MoonRiver]

41. Hick!

I'll drink to that! :beer:

[Sugar Smack]

47. PROSTE!

Let the singing and tabletop dancing and dish-throwing and kissing everybody begin! :rofl:

[Cha]

39. Laugh it up AWOL boy...

Before reality sucker punches you in that smirk.

[Sugar Smack]

45. I've noticed that the only photos where he is smirking these days

is when he has a glass in his hand! :o

[Cha]

48. And you can bet that

is a good sign for us!

[SoCalDem]

40. water, gingerale, apple juice, grape juice etc.

I DO think he's a "secret drinker", but in public, there are "people" who make sure his glass has something in it that resembles what everyone else is drinking, but I seriously doubt it's alcoholic.

[Sugar Smack]

44. I think he does both...

The pics where he's holding a really small glass make me think that there's something in there that's not quite so innocuous.

;-)

[Sugar Smack]

49. "To Us. Let's link arms and drink like lovers do":

[Sugar Smack]

50. Down the hatch.

[jazzjunkysue]

54. These might look fine if he could sing, and his name were Dean, Frank or

Sammy. (rat pack reference, Vegas in the '60's..)

[Sugar Smack]

55. "Take my wife....please"

OMG!! You're right! :wow:

[bdamomma]

56. he is just a frat boy, what a freakin loser he is.

[Sugar Smack]

57. Just a frat boy who knows nothing about the English language!

It's really so embarrassing, isn't it? There he is, partying on our country's dime, while soldiers are fighting a war for nothing but oil in Iraq. What a freaking shame.

[cassiepriam]

58. Some of you are in denial. Bush has been drunk most of the past

year. For those who know what to look for it is obvious
in terms of his appearance and behavior.

I also think he has been hitting prescriptions drugs pretty hard.

[Sugar Smack]

59. No doubt here.

I was a little hedgey about the allegations, but let's face it: the guy is drunk a LOT. I am eating any words I may have had when I doubted that.

[cassiepriam]

61. We probably have not seen him sober in quite a while... nt

[Sugar Smack]

62. Not with the way he slurs his words...

And it's as if his vocabulary is on a tape-loop. Poor fool.

[Judi Lynn]

65. Incoming! Two more, with Philippine President Gloria Arroyo.

[Sugar Smack]

73. WHOA!!!

I'd never seen those before, Judi! Those are pretty telling. Thank you for sharing.

:yourock:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

68. My pics, with his Night Out on the Town...

Yet another toast...



Some fun with PM Howard...




In need of a bit of the "hair of the dog" perhaps...




MKJ

[Sugar Smack]

74. I'm sure others feel the same way as me about this-

It REALLY tears me apart to see Bush enjoying himself!!

:grr: :nuke:

[kskiska]

69. Merkel's trained seal

[Sugar Smack]

75. Oh, he is SUCH an embarrassment!!

Wonder if he was drunk or simply stupid in that pic.

[Ilsa]

71. 3, 5 and 6 look like wine or booze to me. I guess the others

are straight vodka or gin.

[Sugar Smack]

76. He's holding some really small liqueur glasses...

the likelihood of there being anything but alcohol in them seems rather slim.
