President Bush Drinking Again
Faced with the biggest crisis of his political life, President Bush has hit the bottle again, The National Enquirer reveals.
Bush, who said he quit drinking the morning after his 40th birthday, has started boozing amid the Katrina catastrophe.
Bush is under the worst pressure of his two terms in office and his popularity is near an all-time low. The handling of the Katrina crisis and troop losses in Iraq have fueled public discontent and pushed Bush back to drink.
A Washington source said: "The sad fact is that he has been sneaking drinks for weeks now. Laura may have only just caught him — but the word is his drinking has been going on for a while in the capital. He's been in a pressure cooker for months."

Since when did you start posting quotes from The National Enquirer? I'm still waiting for the aliens they promised that were going to invade planet Earth. But I guess only time can tell on that one. :-P

Oh well, everyone was posting about it, so I thought I would too :P
And hey didn't you hear that those Aliens did come? But they found the world was already screwed up enough as it is, so they decided against invading it and left :P

FYI: Also more people in the Red states read the National Enquirer than do in the Blue states.

I don't see the connection with this and the Red States reading it more than Blue states. Other than it's sad and you can see the kind of crap people from the Red states is reading. :-P
Posted by: Jenn at September 27, 2005 07:50 PMthe Enquirer pays HUGE money to get info from which to report almost-always accurate, usually gossip-type, sleazy news. They are not like the other bizarre tabloids, and have tons of legitimate stuff not much covered by mainstream dailies. Some of their headline lead-ins are what is more inaccurate to boost sales but... I've seen plenty of stuff verified much later by other more "respected" newspapers.

Interview with Bush chef Ariel de Guzman, a Q & A about cooking for Bush 41 and 43.
After being asked about concerns of being poisoned when President travels abroad, he was asked a last question:
Q. What about his drinks?
A. "When he asks for a vodka on the rocks, it's our guys (Navy cooks) who mix it from our own supply that we have to bring all the way around the world with us. Nobody knows that."
