Bush Stumbled Out of the Plane AGAIN Today!
Okay.. so Bush arrives in Washington State this morning, I watched it live as the idiot trips ONCE AGAIN coming out of the plane. He stumbled for a few moments after that, rubbed his face, etc. I think that he's either drunk or just waking up from a nap from his grueling schedule of making remarks and raising money.

The announcer made a comment about it being a "rocky start" for his visit to Washington.

Geral Ford was clumsy.. Bush looks bombed or sleepy. Anyone else see it?

Caliphoto (who is now in Washington. Am I Washiphoto?)

1. Hi Caliphoto
I see you moved north after all. I envy you. How about Photowasher? Doesn't make sense does it.

Well, considering all the fun that the media made of Ford about his stumbling, shouldn't Bush be getting equal time? There hasn't been a thing about this down here. I have been watching CNN this morning.

3. does anyone really believe Bush is drinking again?
From what I understand, he used to be an alcoholic, admitted it, and stopped drinking. Is that true? And if he's fallen off the wagon, how will that affect out national security?

Now that I think about it, it won't have any effect. As long as Bush can read the speeches they write for him, he's doing his job.

4. Personally, I don't think he's stopped for more than
a stretch at a time. Just because he isn't blotto everyday, doesn't mean he's dry. Another thing that could be happening, that the White House is not forthcoming about, is that he may have some chronic illness other than alcoholism that is causing this. Parkinson's disease often makes people seem drunk as well as beginning Alzheimer's.

5. Too bad we don't have mandatory drug testing for our President!
One can't be employed at McDonalds or Wal Effing Mart with out peeing in a bottle first, and if you get hurt at work, pee in the bottle again!
Bush should have been made to pee in a bottle when he "choked" on the pretzel. He is our employee,let's make it mandatory for the president to submit to pre-employment and post-accident drug screens.

6. In TANG, the first time his flight physical would include drug testing,
he bailed and was grounded henceforth, squandering taxpayer training money.

Chickenhawk deserter.

8. I know quite a few...
...recovering alcoholics. These are people with a lot more strength and character than Bush, and I know how incredibly difficult it is for them, especially when they are under stress. The stress a president indures, goes way beyond normal...it's very hard to believe that Bush is handling it...without any "help".

As for the drug testing...now we all know if Bush were tested it would be Karl Rove's pee going to the lab!

7. LBJ syndrome
A war going bad can mess up a President. Bush supporter comic Colin Quinn noticed Bush's frizzy hair and stressed face and speculated he was back on cocaine. Apparently all the weightlifting in the world can't save you from a breakdown.

9. Assuming he really lifts weights
From the way he looks, he doesn't. Certainly not impressive poundages or often, no matter what his flacks claim.

12. I think he does. The way he walks and holds his arms look like
he does weights.

15. The way he holds his arms is one reason I think he doesn't
His arms don't hang naturally that way, the way they do when a man has highly developed lats. He holds them that way artificially to give the impression that he has big lats. It's as fake as everything else about him.

I've looked carefully at pictures of him in a shirt, and it's clear to me that he's a wimp, not a lifter.

13. I didn't see it, but I have the memory of him ascending the stairs a few
weeks back - he was in good shape - he kinda bounced up the stairs and alternately touched-brushed the rail on his right, then the left - he looked like Fred Astaire or a support dancer, except he was the STAR! Great dance. Light on his feet was he.

its gone baby, GONE!.

The Shrubs brain has been comped. The perfect puppet. all ya gatta do is wind him up and let it go. Perhaps the very reason he was picked 16 years ago by Rove and Gamg.

17. Drugs?
I would guess psychotropic drugs rather than booze, although you never know with this guy.

18. Definitely Drugs
Anyone who can claim a mass murder in the name of "liberation" was brought about by a one-on-one conversation with "God", HAS to be on drugs. It's probably very hard to navigate the steps of a Jet when your vision is blurred with permanent tracers, and you have the distraction of God commanding you to kill.
