Honestly. How long before he climbs back into the bottle?
Some say he's already started.
If the sheeple saw the real george bush, the petulant, delusional, spoiled, insulated little thug, they might be a little shocked. His handlers work really hard to keep it under wraps. I can't wait for the televised meltdown.
Clearly, he already has. Take a look at the broken capillaries on his face and tell me he's not. You don't get that kind of damage if you "quit in your forties."
I see that kind of exasperation as at least a particle of evidence that this crap is unraveling. The troops are crashing Lieberman's photo-op by asking "When are we coming home?", and you've got Walter Jones echoing his primarily military constituency, calling for the neocon's heads.
I have at least a slim hope that these bastards will reap the whirlwind.
I don't know what's scarier ... the paragraph about Bush talking to his Texas friends or the pic of the Fatah al-Islam Barbie doll on the Dallas Morning News page.

The best thing to do when he gets like this is to thump your own chest while bowing and backing out the room, saying something like, "Yes, Commander Decider Guy, you ARE the President and that's why we all feel so SAFE that the Lord has placed you in control of our glorious Destiny...." and so on. Which I'm sure is pretty close to what they did.
His next words were- "I love you, man!" and then he got all weepy. Then Cheney shot him in the face.

He's been there for a while!
but... but... what about: "It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can’t get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile." Courtesy of St. John the Divine of the Infallible Powerline?
Are you saying he was... wrong?!? So, Bush really isn't a misunderestimated genius but simply a dry drunk and a serious head case with a huge ego and few redeeming or marketable features? Who knew?
Traitors. Now I'm gonna cry.
How long before he climbs back in the bottle?
Negative eleven months.
I hope it is soon. Maybe he can see clearly through the fog of a booze bottle.
But then again I'm drunk right now, so fuck it.

Absolutely. If a heavy dose of real life hits George, he is going to lose it, and I can only hope the cameras are rolling.
I'm not sure if he is drinking, but he certainly looks "gin-blossomy" in a lot of the AP shots.
It would be better if he thumped his chest repeatedly while saying "This is Les Nessman, WKRP's Fish Eye in the Sky!"
The transition period to the next administration is going to be really, really interesting.
My bet is the Bushies will gather up and shred every scrap of paper down to Dick Cheney's grocery list before they pack their bags and run like hell.
Whoever has to take over next is going to be sooo in the dark they'll need flashlights just to find their own fingers.

That's because the Bushes are going to steal the light bulbs out of the fixtures in the White House, like bad tenants do when they leave a rented house.
I wonder if they will run. Most of them will, of course, before the Marine marching band has finished, leaving Rove-shaped holes in the walls before catching the freighter to Paraguay.
But I'm beginning to think that George will still be sitting there, behind the desk, and when the movers come to clean out the office, he'll be sitting in his underwear, bottle of Jack in one hand, a .45 in the other, yelling, "I'm the president!"

No, they won't.
They'll tell the incoming group a few things, but mostly they'll just leave a steaming mess for the new guys coming in to clean up. They won't bother to hide the paperwork because they won't have to -- the new guys will cover it up for them.
If Cheney thinks there's incriminating stuff in the paperwork, he won't bother trying to hide it. He'll just move to some Central American country where he's owed a few "favors". He's about the only one who might become the target of an investigation.
But Bush, well, they won't bother to prosecute Bush. It looks like political retaliation when an incoming President puts the screws to a previous one, and Democrats are famous for wanting to "put the past behind them" and "heal the country" so that we can all "move forward". The incoming prez will decide that it's better to just let Bush have his retirement in peace, maybe after extorting a promise from him to "not comment on his successor's presidency" in exchange for not making the most egregious violations of the laws broken by Bush public. (After all, that's what the new guy would want if the situation was reversed.)
It worked for Bush's father when Clinton came to power, after all. Why not do it again? Of course, that's under the assumption that W hasn't had a total meltdown and been removed from office before the end of his term -- then Cheney gets the deal instead. (You know, that puts a strong incentive on Cheney to push the Boy King to a complete crackup before next September. Hmmm.)
Something tells me Bush drinks because he can, not because he suffers from depression or angst or things not going his way. He's a simpleton, after all.
Yikes! Time to put a nice knitted cozy over "The Button". Or surreptitiously swap it with one of those "That Was Easy" buttons from Staples. Thing is though, he'll probably break the poor thing after slapping it a dozen times an hour....
Meh. It may well be true, but that article is hardly well sourced.
TBOGGG!!1! Release the hounds!
or photos thereof...
Apologies to CM Burns.
:o)
No kidding...where are the somewhat popular dogs??
So, which is better? A) The man is getting his National Security briefings from Jack Daniel and Jose Cuervo. B) No, he's sober as a judge (a conservative Republican immigration judge, hired by Monica Whatshername), but he is just an immature, sophomoric asshole. C) He is a messianic nutcase who believes the "destiny" of the nation is in his God-anointed hands. C'mon, America! Pick one! ("Jeopardy" countdown music plays in the background)
Merciless used the line "Rove-shaped holes in the walls". Damn, that's funny. I am so stealing it.
Fuck politics; where's the bassets, dammit!
There is plenty of evidence Bush drank a LOT in the past. There is no evidence at all that he no longer drinks. Once a drunk, always a drunk. And Bush is a drunk. I always figured it wasn't the pretzel that caused him to pass out right after he was elected, but the case of Bud (or Lone Star) he drank right before he ate it.
There is no evidence at all that he no longer drinks.
Come on, the man himself has told you he doesn't drink. He may even have read the classified reports that prove it.
"he'll be sitting in his underwear, bottle of Jack in one hand, a .45 in the other..."
No, he'll be in the Deciderbunker issuing orders to Marine divisions and National Guard outfits that no longer exist. Then he'll "marry" Condi and they'll split a cyanide capsule.
