IS DUBYA ONE OVER THE G8?

[maddezmom]

By Stewart Maclean 09/06/2007

GEORGE W Bush was caught knocking back a lager at the G8 summit - sparking fears that he has fallen off the wagon.



Now-teetotal Dubya, who admitted during his first presidential campaign that he used to drink far too much, downed the beer while taking a break with Tony Blair, German president Angela Merkel and the Italian prime minister Romano Prodi.

And he seemed to be getting quite jolly during their get together - throwing back his head and roaring with laughter during their chat.

But aides insisted that the president had only been drinking a Dutch non-alcoholic lager called Buckler.

Thank goodness.

Just think how dangerous it might be if the world's most powerful nation were led by a man who didn't know what he was doing.

1. This is an administration that consistently, constantly lies about everything.

I don't believe I'll be putting any credence into what his aides say, thank you.

The Mirror is in super snark mode.

Bush, Putin to settle international differences with drinking contest

Washington D.C. - At the upcoming G-8 summit in Heiligendamm, Germany, President Bush and and Russian President Vladimir Putin have set aside an evening that they claim will settle a number of sensitive issues separating the two countries.

The two world leaders have agreed to let a drinking game decide major policies in both countries, with the winner setting the agenda.

Thursday night, Bush and Putin will meet at the Schlongdangle Beer Garten to play "Kiss My Ass," a local drinking game. The rules of the game require each contestant to drink a shot of vodka and do a push-up within a minute. The game continues until one person cannot get up off the floor. The loser must publicly kiss the rear end of the winner within the following week.

President Bush sounded optimistic. "In college I used to play a game like this every weekend. I won more than I lost. I'm working on a boil on my ass just to give Dr. Zhivago something to concentrate on when he kisses it." Putin was equally confident. "Vodka is our national drink. I will have Bush puking like a sick baby before it is all done. And when he kisses my ass, I shall release gas that will make him sick again."

In Closed Meeting, Putin Surprises Bush With Missile Plan, Polonium-Laced Jujube

Yesterday:

After months of angrily rejecting a White House plan for missile defense in Europe, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia surprised President Bush on Thursday with an offer to build a joint system in the former Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan.
<…>
The offer came during a much anticipated private meeting between the presidents at a gathering of leaders of wealthy democracies.

Today:

President Bush became ill with a mild stomach ailment Friday morning, forcing him to skip some working sessions and the so-called “family photo” of leaders of the world’s wealthiest democracies, but is now “back on schedule,” a top aide said.

Yeah, back on schedule. On schedule with DOOM. For the last time, Mr. President, you don’t take sweets from strangers or ex-KGB agents.

14. Just because he was drinking non alcoholic beer doesn't mean he knows what he's doing

I won't ever pass up a chance to knock Georgie around. He perfectly fits Archie Bunker's definition of a meathead. Nothin' but ground chuck from the neck up. But ridiculing the insolent man child is such a target rich environment, I just don't see the need to invent lies in order to try and make him look bad. He's plenty stupid without getting into a stupor.

I leave lying to the experts. Bush is an idiot, but in at the G8 meeting he was clearly a non-drunk idiot.

4. Whatever... he called in sick the next day, a Friday

alcoholics have a habit of calling in sick on Monday's and Fridays. Don't have anything to back that up, but it's something we used to notice in attendance patterns.

5. KO mentioned this last night

but I wish he had added that little caveat on one of the beer websites that all 'non'alcoholic' beer has alcohol.

Bush falling off the wagon is great news. Apparently Jebus is not the voice talking in his head - more like Jim Bean/Buckler.
Now if only the wagon would turn over in a ditch at Crawford away from more Bush caused death and destruction.

7. he`s never been on the "wagon"

he`s a "dry drunk" that looks like he`s starting to get wet again. once he leaves office he`ll go back to drinking because there`s really no where he can go.

[terrya]

8. Yep.

After he leaves office, he'll "write" his memoirs (I don't know who the ghost writer will be), he'll get a shitload of money for it, the book will be on the New York Times Best Seller list for about a week and...that will be that.

He sure as fuck won't be an activist former President like Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton. He'll spend all of time on "the ranch"...clearing brush and drinking, drinking and more drinking.

[Orsino]

9. Who says he's even dry?

Can we really look at any of his behavior in office, and say that a drunk couldn't have done it just as "well"? What reason would he possibly have to stop drinking?

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. None especially when he has access to the best liquor and doesn't have too worry about

any scrutiny while drunk off his a$$. Who is gonna call him on it? Certainly not his puppy dog pressitutes. :evilgrin:

[tibbiit]

11. as he throws back his head in laughter (suposed laughter)

(without a hint of humor) Note his hand... looks like griping the chair.
He is one uncomfortable mo in his own skin and around other people.
