Ok, I like him more now. If he'd just drink more often and stop trying to be the ruler of the free world, we'd all be ok. Seriously, the guy scares me with how he's pushing religion, but when I see him drunk, I feel at ease.
LOL, but you should always wear a blue shirt on TV. Every candidates knows this. Could be a costly error down the stretch. White makes you look pale.. But then again so does an intoxication level off the charts.
Whoops, I guess he fell off the wagon --- or did he get back on the wagon. Doofy Dubya: Only in America If George W. Bush ends up in the White House, The Smoking Gun would like to be the first web outfit to formally offer Dubya an artifact for his future presidential library. The Republican's wacky performance in this 1992 wedding video excerpt--shot years after Bush went cold turkey in July 1986--needs to be preserved for future generations. The video was shot at the August 29, 1992 wedding of Jamie Weiss, the daughter of Dubya's close friends Mike and Nancy Weiss. Mike, a Lubbock, Texas lawyer and CPA, was Bush's campaign chairman during his first political race (an unsuccessful 1978 congressional bid) and was one of the Texas governor's earliest political appointments. Nancy, also a Bush appointee, had a prime speaking slot on the final night of the Republican convention. She told the crowd, "I wish you could see how he reaches out to people, teasing those who can take it and protecting those who can't." Indeed, what a teaser! When cameraman T. Patrick Murray filmed Bush during the wedding reception at a Lubbock country club, the future governor took some rambling--and we presume good-natured--swipes at the newlyweds, the bride's parents, and her brother Kelly (Bush was being quizzed by a member of the bridal party). We love the part where teetotaler George actually disses two of the Weisses for supposedly not drinking or smoking. And as for those weird Don King-like "only in America" cracks--not to mention what's in that glass--your guess is as good as TSG's. The Smoking Gun
I remember a few years ago we had that posted on this forum. The date of the wedding is known. It is AFTER the time when we have the concocted story about how Dubya, got up on the morning of his 40th bc, looked in his mirror and decided to not become a drunk/ druggie.
I think it is pretty sad when you want to lambast a guy for having a few glasses of champagne at the wedding of his friend's daughter. He stopped drinking-- maybe that means he stopped drinking the hard stuff? Maybe he makes exceptions for weddings? Find something to do... This is getting to be pathological.
Pfft. We have a long way to go before we reach the bar set by the Republicans obssessed with Clinton's willie in the 90s.
Giddy, you are going out of your way to excuse his behavior. You heard Kerry joined the Navy to evade the draft, even though his actions in the navy moved him closer, not farther from combat. Those were actions he volunteered for, but Kerry doesn't get the benefit of the doubt. Meanwhile W Bush who said he gave up drinking in '86 is tipsy at a wedding six years later, but then you attach all sorts of possible excuses to it in order to make alright. GW has never said he quit except at weddings, or that he only swore off the hard stuff. The guy said he stopped drinking.
