I perfect at it? No, but I am pretty good. I'm
kind of proud of that.
I also know my way around a bottle of
whiskey. I am not particularly proud of that.
But I do know what I am talking about here.
Believe me. I have seen the same things
happening on my own face that I see
happening on the President's face.
And these photos have not been altered in any way.
Maybe Mr Bush and I both need to visit a dermatologist. Maybe that's all there is to it.
But if I could bet it, I'd give 3 to 2 that the President is drinking again. And he is drinking a lot. That's a whiskey face.
I was a bartender for years and years. I am not bullshitting you. He's drinking.
Me, I wouldn't even try to go out into the big world of trading old Navajo rugs when I was drunk. It's not an art, it's a science.
The trouble is that we have a freaking President who's out there drunk on his butt, running the most powerful country in the world.

Hey look everybody! He's down! Hurry! Let's kick him!
There are many people who disagree with Bush's politics. I know. I'm one of them.
There are many people who dislike Bush, the man. Ummmm. Whatever.
But this kind of stuff is just mean spirited and serves no purpose. Such small minded, petty nonsense detracts from the arguments agains the Bush administration policies.
One of the things that I have noticed, which I recently mentioned on another thread, is how a president ages after the first few years of his presidency. I think that the stress of the job starts to show on every president.
Actually, I think that Bush's appearance has held up rather well in comparison to some of the other presidents. He may be drinking again. Who knows? If I were in his position, especially with the blunders that he has made during his tenure, I would drink too.
I am very grateful to the folks who set term limitations of presidents. Even though I voted (stupidly) for Bush at the time, I can't wait until he is out of the White House. I just hope that the Republicans and/or Democrats come up with a decent candidate this time.
We just have to have someone better to run this country than Bush!!!!
All this time I thought Phoenix was a diehard Bush fanatic.
Who knew?
I agree with Boomer. I think that pointing out someones private failures is just cruel. He has enough criticism and failure with his job and I don't think that drinking contributed to the bad decisions he's made in the past. I think it's an effect, not a cause.
Bush is a loser, Bella. Quit sticking up for him.
Kerry reminded me of an old bottle of vanilla extract I have in my cupboard.
Nobody can say from those photos about drinking anyway.
The human face has an stunning range of expressions flickering across it constantly.
Any and all of us can be photographed and look drunk, or evil, or demented, or crazy......
I despise this man as a president, but I agree with whoever said that this kind of stuff, which is essentially baseless, is untoward and mean spirited.
Grrr...and you can't fix bloody typos!
They are gonna say I am drunk too, instead of in some demented world between two fingered eye on the keyboard hunt and peck, and very bad touch typing.
"An stunning" indeed!

I wasn't. I was simply pointing out that no matter what, we shouldn't pick on personal failures. We can bash him to death for the failure of this country for all I care. Just not his personal life.

If you knew what you were getting with Bush, why the hell did you vote for him?
You weren't on the ballot Gus. Duh. She had to vote for someone.
Better an old bottle of vanilla in the cupboard than an empty bottle of whisky under the sink.

It has nothing to do with expressions, dlowan. An alcoholic face develops a certain rash. Judging by the color and texture of Bush's skin, I would say he is drinking no less than a gallon of gasoline a day.
I'm not sure if I could tell the difference between Bush drunk and Bush sober, but I did recently notice he's finally starting to show the job stress on his face. I think for the first 4 years it was just a hay ride for him, and now the reality of what he has wrought is hitting home. I hope he has not returned him to his days of substance abuse (I wouldn't wish that on anyone), but I also want him sober for his impeachment hearings.

I wanted to add this to my earlier post, but the hamsters have cut out the edit feature on answered posts! 
you knew what you were getting and voted for him anyway? And now we find ourselves where we are?
More's the pity.
I'm pretty sure neither Richard Nixon nor Jimmy Carter took strong drink, what does that tell us?

Very true, Piffka. And please don't think my disparaging remarks toward Kerry was anything remotely resembling an endorsement for Bush.
Stumble It!
