Bush Hitting the Bottle Again?

Sorry if that was too direct for you. It was just a suggestion. If anything was rude, it was your initial response to Chrissee, which you have since deleted.

You're right. It was rude. But never the less true.

And for the record, you don't need to apologize for being direct.

I am a passive agressive and trust me...being so drives me nuts. I see myself acting like an a-hole and there my hubby is, trying to negotiate, trying to "talk me down". He is both a leader and a cherisher but he does tend to lean more toward the leader aspect most of the time. But usually once the scene is over, I will apologize and "come to my senses". I have been actively working on not being a complete crazy and actually have found out that a lot of this behavior is being caused by a medical reason. I don't know if this is something for you former man to look into but lots of times, emotional crap stems from physical crap. Something to think about.

You are right Chrissee I do have a problem with you. You are rude to people. You whine. You complain. You make every attempt to make people dislike you. And you probably dont have pm privledges (sic) because you don't deserve them.

You want to talk about me, say it to my face (or screen name). Or is that too direct?

I am frankly surprised it has taken this long for people to strongly suspect that Bush is on the sauce again, or was on it and is in imminent danger of doing so again.

Bush and his supporters are always playing up the fact that he was supposed to be a good athlete. He played sports in college, he broadcasts how much he works out and is fit.

So here's this fit, supposedly athletic guy in his forties, entering the White House, and in the first year he has two injuries to his face gotten while inside the house, with no witnesses present. There was the "pretzel incident" and one other.

Falls in the house are closely associated with alcohol or drug use. Moreover, since we automatically try to protect our face and head if we do fall, injuries there even more strongly indicate the individual is taking something to slow his automatic reactions.

I don't believe I have ever had any falls in the house which resulted in injuries to my face. I've cut my finger, etc, but that is about it. And I don't have a staff to get up on ladders or to use power tools around the house either-there is no reason for Bush to do anything that puts him into a physically awkward position.

The bicycling incidents are another story, since people fall off bikes all the time, especially when they are trying to perform difficult maneuvers. But two falls in the house, with injuries to the face, in one year, by a supposedly fit man in his forties? That's getting hard to believe.

After the two incidents, Bush started spending an amazing portion of his presidency at his Crawford ranch. Where he can have the support of his family-and also where counselors and rehab people can be brought in less conspicuously than at the White House.

The evidence indicates it is likely Bush found out early that he could not take the stress of the presidency, he went back on the bottle and the frequent trips to Crawford are either for rehab purposes, or to reduce stress so that he does not relapse again.

So if we use this reasoning, then it would be safe to assume that Gerald Ford was also a drunk? He is well known to have taken some pretty good spills during his time in the White House

Gerald Ford was drunk and high through osmosis. Remember Betty F. ?

One who is in denial refuses to face reality. Equating a bump on the face and choking on pretzels to proof of reality, particularly when the original accusation comes from a rag like the National Enquirer, leaves too big a gap for me to leap.

I'm not saying its likely or unlikely that GW is drinking, just that refusing to accept the known events as proof doesn't equate to denial.

I'll give you a better example of denial. Mr B is convinced we'll be back in New Orleans next April for Jazz Fest. He keeps saying, 'It's not that bad." Now, THAT'S denial.

Well, if they hold it, we'll be there come hell or high water.... oops, better watch what I ask for.

Actually, I would be glad to tell you what I think of you to your face. Where do you live? Or I can tell you next time you are in San Francisco. Deal?

I am not here to make friends, although over the years, I have met quite a few people from forums. People I meet find that I am just as I present myself. (of course, the people who meet me understand my rap.)

Unlike most people who post, I am a real person, not an anonymous entity behind a screen name and misleading avatar. I really do live in Twin Peaks near The Castro and if you were to hang out here, there is a good chance you would run into me and recognize me.

Bumping til I get an answer. It is a beautiful evening in San Fancisco. See you all later.
