1. Yep. He's drunk there. No doubt. Don't let it happen again.
He gets one pass. Wow, talk about obvious.

7. Various errors edited together. And audio loops within shots.
Edited on Sun Jan-25-09 01:32 AM by onehandle
I did this a couple of years ago with some footage at a corporate event as a joke.

Made the speaker look drunk.

27. I don't think so...
There is stumbling over words and then there is slurred speech. Slurred speech edited together with more slurred speech is still slurred speech.

Also...did you catch that quick shot of Candy Crowley...she looked pissed off. Having to be doing a live on-air hit with someone who is drunk would give me that look too.

29. Here's your biggest clue. He still has a job. If that were a real, continuous clip...
...he would have been out on his ass that day.

This video aside, if he showed up drunk, they wouldn't have put him on the air.

8. He didn't LOOK drunk, but he sure was having a problem with his toung!
I specifically looked at his eyes and I don't think he was drunk.

11. I think so. Check out his eyes. Drunk is one thing, but he's genuinely fucked up.

18. Weed doesn't make you slur your words.
That's either some kind of phara or alcohol.

21. He looks just like he did that time on the second Mole show.
When they did the wine test where you couldn't spill a drop and the contestants got him to try to prove that he could do it. He got pretty sloshed then and sounded and looked just like that.

28. This has been a popular thing lately wherein a clip is slowed down even slightly...
Edited on Sun Jan-25-09 04:12 PM by ghostsofgiants
Which makes a person sound drunk. I've seen one of Bush and one of some other reporter as well. Maybe he is drunk, but I'm skeptical.

32. I saw that show live and this is total BS!
Edited on Mon Jan-26-09 12:16 PM by Turborama
There's no way he was like that when I saw it live. Also, you can hear the music sounding like a warped record, they've slowed it down and deliberately edited the whole thing.

Seriously, he could sue for defamation.
