* has been downing a lot of drinks on his trip.

[El Supremo]

And it shows.

Bush has wrapped up a week-long European tour marked by brushes with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and mass demonstrations that cast the US president as both hero and villain.(AFP/Jim Watson)

1. Shrub* will be in rehab by this September

[Cleita]

2. He's not even trying to cover it up anymore.

I wish one of the sheep in the Washington press corps would ask that question. I know they would lie about it, but at least it would send the message that the public is aware of his drinking.

[waiting for hope]

3. Wasn't he down the other day

with a little "tummy ache"? This was the day after the pictures of him drinking beer hit the internets....sleeping it off is more likely.

[Blackhatjack]

4. OH come on! Everybody knows he has had a 'bad stomach' ....

since he first started drinking in his TEENS.

[Seabiscuit]

8. BINGO!

Even eating one pretzel landed him on the floor with a black eye.

That stomach of his kicks his ass.

Now, can someone please slip a bottle of vodka into his hotel room?

[Dhalgren]

5. I bet Laura's meds have been up because of it, too...

[mike_c]

6. god he looks shit-faced in that pic....

:rofl:

[datasuspect]

7. plenty of monkeys like their "grape juice plus"

[madokie]

9. he's three shits to the wind no doubt about that in this pic.

spelling

[Blackhatjack]

10. The other G8 Leaders are playing a game --who can get Bush 'sloshed' first?

It's always good for a laugh.

[Cleita]

11. Maybe it's the American people they are trying to send the message to.

It goes something like this.

"You see we are showing you that your President is a sociopathic, alcoholic. Now do something about him before he blows up the whole world."

[Blackhatjack]

12. "After this one, I am going to pull the trigger.... and nuke Iran.! " n/t

[deminks]

13. That must be one of those "non-alcoholic apparatifs"...

yeah, that's the ticket, non alcoholic apparatifs.../sarcasm off
