is bush* drinking and/or on drugs????....(recent PHOTOS)....
Edited on Thu May-20-04 06:18 PM by amen1234
there are few bush* photos anymore that show dignity, lucidity, or even appropriate gestures or emotions for the occasion....the pResident appears more and more to be drunk/drugged in public, and conducting an affair openly...have you noticed lately that bush* is drunk/drugged????

it appears that bush* is falling apart....less able to speak, showing horrible signs of drinking and drugging....and having an affair....what do you think?

1. 7th One Down Is Great
That's What Drinking And Drugs Is Supposed To Look Like :)

I Think He Knows It's All Going To Shit, Whether He's Drinking Or Not Is Anyones Guess.

14. AMBIEN
He's on Ambien every day, "everyone" is according to Powell. Read the list of side effects - truly scary, but it explains a lot.

19. I saw him on TV walking away from his helicopter
the other day, and he was swinging his arms so they crossed low and in front of him, and he was kind of kicking his feet out as he ambled away.

I ran it back for Husband Dear, and he agreed. He looked three sheets to the wind.

3. He's got the worst gin blossoms
I've ever seen on a fifty-five-year old man.

It's truly a shame that what few brain cells he had to work with from the jump were abused so mercilessly.

4. looks like you're obsessed with the man. less I see his face
the better. Clearly most of those photos are taken in mid-expression, etc. I don't really go for that kind of thing. What is more important is how he clearly can't or won't use the language correctly.

I mean, there are times he is on his game and can actually answer in a smooth and believable way. Then there are the majority of times when he looks like a dunce reaching and reaching and reaching for an expression. You expect some $100 word and instead get a blank, trite simplistic statement.

Like: 'I'm troubled about it.....I--I---I-ahhhhh....We need to....<pause><pause>fight terror. We can't give in to evildoers. I'm a uniter not a divider. uniter not a divider. uniter not a divider <SKIP>stay the course.'

5. What I find interesting is...
that photo editors for the news services are using les and less flatering photos in news stories rather than picking only the flattering ones as they were doing not so long ago.

Don't misunderestimate the power of a photo editor to sway public opinion with ugly pictures of despicable things like prisoner torture and Bush being allowed out of his cage.

9. a press photographer I met once told me exactly that ...
If the photo editors were annoyed with Clinton, for example, they would purposely select a picture of him with his mouth open.

12. For 3 years they carefully airbrushed
all photos of Bush to conceal those gin blossoms. The European press always ran unretouched photos, clearly showing one on the bridge of his nose and a real beaut just below his left cheekbone.

There is no way you can booze as heavily as he did for as long as he did without significant damage to the central nervous system. The gin blosssoms are just the surface sign of the real damage he has.

6. Bush and Condi caught having sex in Oval Office? Now that's a headline.
...I'd love to see...I picture Condi in a dominatrix outfit spanking him while he says "Oh Mommy"...

Drugs & drinking again? Wouldn't surprise me, but I'd attribute his inappropriate gestures and general inappropriateness to just W being himself - a stupid idiot w/ a pea size brain & d**k. I will say there has been a general increase in his stupid moments, but I just figure its due to him speaking more and appearing publicly more...more photo opps for showing the idiot he really is...

13. sorry, #5 edited to add 'what bush* was talking about' ......
not that it makes much difference, since bush* and his gestures and speech do not often coincide to make any sense at all....but here it is....

10. No can do
Really, drug and/or alcohol abuse is impossible to tell in most people just by looking at them. Bush may not photograph well, but that has nothing to do with his incompetence for the job.

As for his well-discussed "Gin Blossoms", the proper name for it is Rosacea. Most people with Rosacea do not drink. It's an autoimmune problem that mainly fair-skinned people suffer from.

Bush's problem isn't physical. It's spiritual.

Edited on Thu May-20-04 06:19 PM by goclark
The more out of control he gets the more he looks like his evil father.

The chimps top lip is getting thinner and goes into an unside down "U" shape.

He is in so way over his head that five bottles of Jack Daniels and Condi on the rocks won't help!

16. He is really just plain stupid
Edited on Thu May-20-04 06:28 PM by Marianne
and in way over his head. He cannot keep up with it all because he lacks the expertise and the brains.

He is in over his head and knows it--is desperate -- there has never been such a failure of a president in our history.

He is responsible for the murders and the deaths of thousands of people, when it was not necessary at all. He did this on lies

He is indeed an evil man, and we here on DU do not seem to shy away from that accusation, although most writers and pundits are reluctant to say that--indeed, most are reluctant to even criticize him at all, and choose to compliment this incompetant boob who was not elected, but selected by a corrupt Supreme Court, and who prides himself on being a "war president" as seven hundred and more of our troops have died, while he, this bloviating dumb man with a family name as his only credential, was "AWOL" himself during a war--he is also the only president with a criminal record, an arrest for a DUI, to sit in the White HOuse . Be aware that Cheney also has on his record, two DUI's.

What does anyone teach their children these days, I wonder. How can anyone teach children the value of honesty, when these leaders are so vile and so corrupt?

20. In #1 is he discovering his hand


Jose Eduardo dos Santos has a look of amazement on his face. I wish we could hear what really happened during that meeting.

* looks as if he just found out that he had a hand. Do you think that is Jack D's or uppers or ?

28. oh give me a break. These threads are always so silly
They're just pictures, folks, of a middle-aged dolt.

There is absolutely no evidence in any of these photos of someone drugged, or drunk, or whatever. Just some guy.

Yes, I hate the man, too, but c'mon, take off the Bush-colored sunglasses and see reality for what it is.

Pictures, nothing more.

The only picture I've ever seen that shows evidence of him drinking is that one where he's got the bruise on his face. He is so obviously hungover in that shot.

But none of these.

30. so it's okay to be LITERALLY BLINDED by hatred?
Edited on Fri May-21-04 01:33 AM by maggrwaggr

You can't look at a picture of a guy walking across a lawn and conclude "yup, he's on Ambien".

It just makes us look like a bunch of morons who are LITERALLY BLINDED by our hatred of the man.

33. Not really.
You can look at a picture of the guy in good health, and then again in bad shape, and tell the diffence. It's subjective, but it's not worthless, anymore than our psychological interpretations of his motives are. Is he challenging/avenging his Daddy? It's a valid question. This is not a private citizen. He's the ostensible leader of the free world. No holds barred in examining him. Why so squeamish? Election's on, gloves are off.

40. Please!
>'He's the ostensible leader of the free world'

He's the leader of the USA... and it would seem he is not even welcome there.

In the past, such an expression could have been dismissed as quaint parochial rhetoric. However, in the context of the USA's fervency to define 'the new world order', the language has been perverted. Now it appears to be a pronouncement for the warcries that have PREEMPTED the noble ideals that your country purports to uphold. The US war machine has marched forth shouting "Democracy", whilst surely the Iraqi's are resisting to the cries of "Freedom".

The events that have unfolded are dispicable and the 'free world' is outraged.

/tarring USA with one brush. That's the way it goes.

38. There does apper to be some recent damage.....
Last night's Frontline ("The Jesus Factor") showed him speaking while running for Governor. Compared to recent speeches, he was much more "together". And, supposedly, the drinking days were already behind him. Drinking again? Other problems? Who knows.

Here's a link to the show; worth seeing for several reasons.
www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/jesus/view/

(In the watches of the night, I happened upon a medical historian discussing effects of various kinds of brain damage on political leaders of the 20th century. Wilson, FDR, Hitler. Quite relevant. It was on one of the C-SPANS; will do some searching.)
