Bush takes it straight

Doug Thompson at Capitol Hill Blue weighs in the Enquirer's account of Bush's drinking problem. Not unexpectedly, he concurs with the tabloid's assessment. Having known and loved a fair number of alcoholics in my lifetime, I think he shows all the classic signs of having fallen off the wagon myself.

I mean look at that photo of him strumming guitar while New Orleans was underwater and tens of thousands of people were suffering in severe heat without food or water. It looks like he's making some joke with a musician across the stage. Tell me he doesn't look high?

Anyway, quote of the day goes to Doug's closing line.

It’s scary enough to have a nutcase in the White House. It’s even scarier to think that nutcase may be drunk.

Not to mention stoked out on antidepressants.
