Umm...health problems for bush???

[cynatnite]

I missed this part when I was reading the article and I thought it deserved it's own thread.

What I want to know is where is this footage? Who has aired it? Why isn't it being aired?

********

But when Bush and his entourage arrived at the medical facility, those plans changed. One local news station reported that the President never left his motorcade, departing for the airport 15 minutes after arriving. The station aired footage of Bush laboring to ascend steps up to Air Force One, aided by his wife, Laura. A newscaster commented on the President's wavering gait and noted that it was unusual for him not to pause to shake hands with well-wishers at the airport. The broadcast led to local speculation that the President may have encountered a medical problem.

KNSD Channel 10 later retracted the story, reporting that Bush in fact entered the medical center and visited briefly with injured patients, but would not allow camera crews to accompany him. A call to the medical center's public relations office was not returned.

1. We can only hope.

Just kidding! Well, not really.

Karma would mean that the airborne bacteria got to him too.

[aquart]

25. He was never that close.

[benburch]

2. DRUNK.

Obviously too many tumblers of Crown Royal consumed by His Inadequacy.

[wellstone_democrat]

15. I needed the laugh

lol

[Done]

29. Honestly, this is very possible.

He's depressed from low poll numbers, failure in Iraq, etc., etc. etc. He just came off vacation where he was out of the spotlight for a while. He started back drinking, or maybe he never stopped but now he's drinking more.

[magnolia]

44. Actually...

...he was in the spotlight. But instead of the "biking with Lance Armstrong" spotlight...it was the "ignoring the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq" spotlight.

[SammyWinstonJack]

46. He should be depressed by the number of people he is responsible for

killing, but we all know he doesn't have a conscious in that regard. Poll numbers bother him but not deaths of his making.

[K8-EEE]

49. AS A SKUNK, BEN!! MY THOUGHT EXACTLY....

You know what he's been EXTRA stupid lately, just everything that comes out of his mouth is a horror last week he was just an embarassment with his "NOLA will be better than ever!" (Trent Lott's house, having too much fun in NOLA in his college days, just basically yucking it up WHILE PEOPLE ARE DYING IN THE THOUSANDS AND STILL GETTING NOT EVEN WATER.)

HE SOUNDED LIKE HE WAS WOO-HOOING THE DISASTER AND MAKING DEVELOPMENT PLANS. At that horrible time too! God he's a monster.

[pbartch]

66. I echo the sentiment.....he was drunk.

Good.....if we see him staggering drunk, it'll just be that much easier to impeach him.

[Itchinjim]

3. "Wavering gait " = "Staggering drunk"

nt

[judy]

4. Yes, definitely!

Too much consulting with advisor in chief Jack Daniels...

[livetohike]

10. Thanks for the laugh

:rofl:

[screembloodymurder]

74. He's just learning how to walk with his newly grown tail

and hoofed feet.

[durablend]

12. Maybe he drank some of the water?

:evilgrin:

[FreedomAngel82]

5. Everything is catching up to him it seems

[Catherine Vincent]

6. Yeah....

mental problems, not medical.

[alarcojon]

31. presenile dementia - watch the video

Bush's mental decline over the past ten years is striking.

http://www.adbuzz.com/bushbuzz.htm

[Verve]

45. It's called being an alcoholic.

It often looks like dementia, though.

[alarcojon]

47. I'll stick with presenile dementia

He was an alcoholic for a long time before the first video.

[TheModernTerrorist]

70. ok, so a drunk AND a loser....

losers typically stutter in debates, and when you're doing it on a national level, I'd imagine when you are a total LOSEr going into it, you will sound like a loser.


though I actually agree with you on the dementia.... at least in part anyways. I'm sure it's a combination of many things. But yeah, dementia.


Hell, if FRIST can armchair diagnose a braindead woman, I can diagnose a braindead man. ;-)

[IntravenousDemilo]

68. I've noticed no decline. I think he's been pretty consistently stupid.

I'm pretty sure his mentality couldn't decline without going into negative numbers.

[dogday]

7. Between Cindy and Katrina

I would not be surprised if shrubster was on some artificial nerve relaxant...

[sexybomber]

20. "Or maybe he's so worried about"

losing his job that he's doing shitloads of Vicodin and Xanax. Probably got them from his wife.

[DinahMoeHum]

8. Wouldn't shock me at this point to learn he's hitting the bottle. . .

:evilfrown:

[Dogmudgeon]

9. What we have here ... is a CRANIAL-RECTAL INVERSION!

--p!

[hvn_nbr_2]

58. Inversion or insertion? Oh, been inserted so long, they became inverted.

[Mutley]

11. Yeah. A medical problem called BOOZE.

Mixed with two lines of coke and a dash of insanity.

[benburch]

18. Rumor has it he SHOOTS his cocaine rather than snorting.

Hitler did too.

[negativenihil]

32. Hitler shot Amphetamines, not Coke. n/t

[Verve]

48. But so did JFK.

They were doctor prescribed and obviously the harm in taking them was not as documented as it is today.

[benburch]

54. I read that he used both. nt

[Mutley]

33. What a junkie.

:eyes: Lame. Can't handle the drip, can he?

[Hamlette]

13. this will stop the naysayers....you can't criticize Bush, he's ILL

this is a rove ploy. Mark my words.

It's like faking illness to get out of an exam when you were in school.

[mod mom]

34. He will attempt to play on sympathy by saying he picked it up in NO.

[ima_sinnic]

72. yeah, it got Reagan out of accountability for Iran-Contra (nt)

[gademocrat7]

14. Unfit to serve

how much more are we going to have to endure from the miserable failure?

[Contrary1]

16. Here's the smoking gun...

"...but would not allow camera crews to accompany him."

Always one for a photo op. He must have been tanked.

[daninthemoon]

17. What was that white stuff under his nose?

[Botany]

19. Just a nasty rumor!

So please don't repeat it. ;)

Please don't play the "Blame Game."

:rofl:

Besides look @ his nose ...... red puffy .... broken blood vessels

Some people say ........ (play fox news)

[SoCalDem]

21. He's trying to gin up the sympathy machine

making us realize how this hard work is affecting his health..:)

:)

[wellstone_democrat]

NO this is a LIE

I've been told for five years that he is the healthiest human being for his age in the entire world. So, he falls down more than Gerald Ford ever did! So what! He's a specimen of American Manhood that excels above the rest!

Oh, no cameras? Something must be wrong. Definitely wrong. The man lives for cameras and sick people exist only to be ON camera with him.

Frankly, I've always thought he looks sick AND boozy myself.

[SoCalDem]

24. "...the President may have encountered ...." his old pals,

Jack Daniels , Jim Beam and "Old Grandad"

[BrightKnight]

57. them good ol' boys were drinkin whiskey and rye

rode my limo to the levee but the levee...

someone should rewrite the lyrics to American Pie. Perhaps it could be called American Cow Pie.

[Contrary1]

22. Here's a great one to use when arguing with Repubs...

"When a haircut given to President Clinton aboard Air Force One inadvertently delayed air traffic and inconvenienced travelers, the media was quick to criticize the President. No such outcry has occurred over George W. Bush’s aborted photo op, or the interference it caused in medical care for seriously ill patients."

[TlalocW]

42. And the thing is...

That Clinton's haircut only caused one plane to be delayed - the plane carrying the press that was following him around. That's been a huge lie told by the right for years.

TlalocW

[txindy]

23. Drunk or high

[DoYouEverWonder]

39. More likely going through withdrawal

He's had to stay in the public eye for the last few days and can't maintain his normal routine.

[txindy]

41. An accurate assessment, I'd say.

Junior's been in withdrawal. He's also testy, cranky, moody, and mean. With inappropriate responses.

In other words, business as usual. Unfortunately.

[DoYouEverWonder]

43. Probably stopped into the hospital

to get a fix.

I grew up in a bad neighborhood. I know what drunks and addicts look like when they can't get their shit.

[Call me Deacon Blues]

26. If this is true, and he's drinking again, it's only a matter of time

before the media catches him. And while the fickle sheeple don't blink an eye at the death of thousands, they'll have a hissy fit if they see him falling down drunk. And while they media may be chickenshit reporters, you better believe they'll report on this if they have iron-clad proof. It'll sell papers, you see, and the media these days is all about making money.

[KurtNYC]

53. The american media doesn't cover * It covers for *

You may remember anthrax being mailed to media outlets. And then the fines for indecency (loosely defined) being raised to $3 million per infraction. Also the monolithic "choked on a pretzel" meme. The MSM is a branch of the * administration now.

I'm not holding my breath waiting for the media to cover the truth about *

[naturalselection]

27. Seriously

if you think about the dumbass comments he has made in the past week demonstrating the lack of any form of compassion for the victims it screams out that he may in fact be hitting "something" again.

Statements like "sitting on the porch" with Lott again is something you joke around about at the bar with friends, it is not something a man with any brain function would say knowing it was going to be broadcast everywhere.

Where is that footage of him drunk at the wedding? and then look at the footage of him talking about the porch. Do we see any similarities in function?

I have to run, but I would be interested to see if there are any similarities.

[pointblank]

30. Dont forget the

bumbled statement he made about having too much fun in NOLA, or whatever...he made no sense when he said it, though I was able to decipher what he meant

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. ok this explains why he did not act

listen to me though this also means the 25th ammendment has to be invoked

[benburch]

55. I agree totally my friend...

but who is going to invoke it?

[CityZen-X]

35. He Has A Bad Case Of...

Nobrainahava!

[Done]

36. Did * "health problems" (drinking) contribute to Katrina response failure?

[Javaman]

37. He's* got a bag on. This guy* can't handle stress...

[chomskysright]

38. The country's gonna have to become a VOMITORIUM in order to spew

tihs mother fucker out of our gut.

ONWARD TO THE VOMITORIUM.

[Old and In the Way]

40. One too many shots of courage. nt

[spinbaby]

50. I'd like to see that footage.

Anyone in the area with Tivo who might have captured it?

[DURHAM D]

51. Reading this thread I keep thinking about Pelosi's comment

this am - "He is oblivious and dangerous."

It seems he is simply "not present" for whatever reason. I wonder who has the football ?

[BrightKnight]

52. Perhaps Kathleen Blanco hit him where it hurts. - n/t

[jasmeel]

56. Maybe he'll act sick to improve his approval ratings?? n/t

[Twist_U_Up]

59. wasted as usual

drinking away the images

[lpbk2713]

60. Withdrawal symptoms.

Rove and Cheneyburton have been keeping their chimp pretty much on the run lately ("... it's hard work"). He hasn't had much of a chance to get real snockered lately.

[YOY]

61. Stay alive 'W'!!!

Primarily because I REALLY don't want the distinction of having to call this monster my president:



One monster a lifetime thank you.

[lala_rawraw]

62. Um... what about him stopping chemo for others so he could

have photo op?

[JanusAscending]

63. All I know is that "SOMETHING"S UP !!"

All of a sudden "the real president? Cheney" has been assigned to take over in NOLA. Devious as he is "he's the brains behind the President puppet" Let's see how much more damage someone with a brain can do!! God help us all. PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSE:scared: :grr: :beer: <------SHRUB

[jazzjunkysue]

64. I u were Cheney, wouldn't you have W doped by now, too?

In school, we always drug the troublemakers.

[daleo]

65. Sounds like he was hammered.

"President's wavering gait"
"laboring to ascend steps"
"aided by his wife"

He rode a bike for hours with Lance Armstrong a few weeks ago. If you can do that one week, you ought to be able to climb some steps a few weeks later.

[hippiechick]

67. utterly shitfaced, I'd say ....

:hi:

[melody]

69. Hey, you try to walk with KKKarl's hand up *your* ass n/t

[Pepper32]

73. I don't think we will get that lucky (nt)

[eleny]

75. kick
