Bush took a more serious tone in an Oct. 29 speech at a Dallas church, when he alluded to his decision to quit drinking after turning 40.

"A lot of times, the best way to help the addict, a person who is stuck on drugs and alcohol, is to change their heart. See, if you change their heart then they change their behavior. I know," he said.

1. I have known...

Plenty of addicts with good hearts. But they were still addicts.

But it's Chimpy talking, so we know he's full of shit.

2. Dry Drunk

I've heard this term used to describe Bush, and it was used by a medical professional who has worked with alcoholics. She says that although Bush isn't drinking, he's still acting irrationally like a drunk. She's a Republican, btw, who, because of Bush, will vote Democrat this next election. She says he's dangerous to have in public office.

3. do you really think

he isn't drinking?

I'm still amazed at his willingness to display his ignorance.

4. Shrubriety is a state of mind between drunk and crazy!

If he lies about yellow cake, what else does he lie about?

6. Yellowcake = fruitcake

maybe someone will 12-step him into a London meeting of dickheads anonymous

PS: think you should patent your 'shrubriety' and sell it as bumper stickers

8. Shrubriety Kills!

Say it ain't so!

5. Who wants to be a drunk when you can be a warmonger. Or as Henry Miller

said,"Those that don't commit the small sins will commit the big ones."

7. Hmmm...

What if you're an addict whose tiny shrivled heart pumps naught but the blackest bile and you decide to quit because you know that you'll be able to perform more and greater evil if you do? :shrug:

9. He's admitting he was an "addict?"

That's certainly the implication.
