Condi Fails to Rein in Drunk Bush at Party?
Drunk Bush Embarrasses Rice In Front Of Foreigns!

She hate meTipster "Patrick" informs us that the foreign press is spreading nutty rumors about a drunken President Bush making an ass out of himself in front of Israeli leaders. As if! The translation after the jump.

The article claims an inebriated Bush confessed his inability to understand the complexities of Israeli domestic politics, before telling a room full of the party leaders of Olmert's fragile coalition that they should continue to support the Prime Minister and sustain his term. Apparently Rice, embarrassed by the diplomatic gaffe of a visiting world leader's attempts to comment on/interfere in the host nation's domestic politics, passed the President a note instructing him to shut his mouth and stop talking. At which point--and this is the best part--Bush smiled and read the note aloud before the whole room had a good hearty laugh.

24. I seen some rare film footage of him last week dancing in Africa. It was strange as hell. The
film footage seemed to taken from way back, but I know that who ever took that footage could have adjusted the camera to do a close up. I bet the msm has lots of this that they never release.

2. Maybe we should just start calling him "Prinny"?
The Prince Regent almost inevitably made a complete ass out of himself in public.

26. Hugh Laurie as Prinny in BlackAdder 3
Cheney as BlackAdder and Rice as Baldric "I have a cunning plan" - which invariably involved turnips.

You and your republicon cronies have loused up everything, and lied us into an oil-profits war. We have not forgotten your 1,001 horrible mistakes and failings to America. And we know that when you act out like a polluted Skull & Boner occult republicon frat boy ass, you are a rank embarassment to our great nation. That's why your poll numbers are at 19% and sinking.

Saraya - what Rice said to the American President George Bush, who launched himself to rein after addressing alcohol in the house Olmert?

Bush then allowed himself to intervene directly and powerfully in the Israeli domestic political and asked the Minister of Israelis who attended the banquet that maintain Olmert.

The story began as strange and embarrassing newspaper Yediot Aharonot after President Bush addressed many cups of wine with delicious meal of sheep side of allowing himself to interfere in the internal politics of Israel, he said, addressing the audience, including Minister Olmert political opponents such as Barak and Avigdor Lieberman, "The Israeli policy is complex and you always to be cautious because you do not know what direction will the strike that Olmert maintained a strong leader correct it at the head of the Israeli policy. "

Bush added, "I know the complexities of domestic politics and the arguments which he markets and some of them is here in this room and I will not interfere in that, but I think that a good leader Olmert and important and must help it crucial stage and the task of denying us to miss the opportunity for peace and if we do not stuck so far in the future big problem. "

At a certain stage of the Bush dwell under the influence of alcohol and meat cones Rice intervened and sent to President small paper corruption silence around the room waiting for the end of Bush reading paper Rice, moments after Bush lifted his head and said they tell me "Sugar Thomas" exploded audience laughter.

The continuation of the meeting of the hills and fun in the house Olmert asked Bush Wazzar Israelis informed of the assets said to him that one of them was born in the country, but his parents were born in Baghdad Vtdechlt Chairperson of the Knesset Dalia Itzik said to him: you greetings from Baghdad that the Middle East more stable without Saddam Hussein.

No meeting hills devoid of political topics where the Lieberman for President Bush its outlook for the exchange of land with the Palestinians as he went left and Haim Ramon said: that our problem is the occupation and not in peace, adding despite the anger of some ministers we must end the occupation and withdrawal from the territories.

16. "under the influence of alcohol and meat cones"
Well, that explains a lot about the past 7 years. Meat cones should be illegal.

23. I saw this article in Spanish (as in of Spain) press a long awhile back
They didn't say anything about him being drunk; but did relate the anecdote of Condi trying to shut him up to keep him from embarrassing himself (and then Bush of course ignoring the advice and reading the note outloud).
