Bush's Drinking Must Be Investigated

Read this article before it gets taken down. You'll remember that
Blog for Iowa, sometime during our first year, linked to a couple of
articles from Capitol Hill Blue about Bush's erratic behavior.
Those articles were not up for long. It
is my belief that George W. Bush is drinking again. Even worse, he may
be mixing alcohol and anti-depressants – a dangerous combination for
anyone, let alone the so-called leader of the free world.
No, I
don’t have any proof of this, just random events and comments from
those who work in and around the Bush administration and who tell me
[Bush] has acted in ways that suggest the use of alcohol and drugs. I’m
a recovering alcoholic (sober 11 years, six months and 24 days) and
I’ve run across a lot of relapsed drinkers who show the same symptoms
as [Bush], including:
*Blacking out while watching television alone;
*Slurred speech and stammering responses to simple questions;
*Anger and hostility in front of staff members;
*Unexplained bruises on his face;
*Trouble remembering recent events or comments.
During
his trip to Mongolia last November, Bush openly sampled the local drink
Airag, which is fermented milk with an alcohol content ranging from
three to twelve percent. In other words, booze.
This was
the same trip where Bush tried to evade reporters’ question by
attempting to walk out a locked door and then turned sheepishly to the
cameras and said he was “jet-lagged.” Some at the event said his stride
was unsteady and his speech slurred.
