Laura Bush...His worried wife yelled at him: "Stop,George."
BUSH´S BOOZE CRISIS

September 20, 2005
by Jennifer Luce and Don Gentile
The National Enquirer

Faced with the biggest crisis of his political life, President Bush has hit the bottle again, The National Enquirer can reveal.

Bush, who said he quit drinking the morning after his 40th birthday, has started boozing amid the Katrina catastrophe.

Family sources have told how the 59-year-old president was caught by First Lady Laura downing a shot of booze at their family ranch in Crawford, Texas, when he learned of the hurricane disaster.

His worried wife yelled at him: "Stop, George."

Following the shocking incident, disclosed here for the first time, Laura privately warned her husband against "falling off the wagon" and vowed to travel with him more often so that she can keep an eye on Dubya, the sources add.

"When the levees broke in New Orleans, it apparently made him reach for a shot," said one insider. "He poured himself a Texas-sized shot of straight whiskey and tossed it back. The First Lady was shocked and shouted: "Stop George!"

"Laura gave him an ultimatum before, ´It´s Jim Beam or me.´ She doesn´t want to replay that nightmare — especially now when it´s such tough going for her husband."

Bush is under the worst pressure of his two terms in office and his popularity is near an all-time low. The handling of the Katrina crisis and troop losses in Iraq have fueled public discontent and pushed Bush back to drink.

A Washington source said: "The sad fact is that he has been sneaking drinks for weeks now. Laura may have only just caught him — but the word is his drinking has been going on for a while in the capital.

He´s been in a pressure cooker for months. The war in Iraq, the loss of American lives, has deeply affected him. He takes every soldier´s life personally. It has left him emotionally drained. The result is he´s taking drinks here and there, likely in private, to cope.

"And now with the worst domestic crisis in his administration over Katrina, you pray his drinking doesn´t go out of control."

Another source said: "I´m only surprised to hear that he hadn´t taken a shot sooner. Before Katrina, he was at his wit´s end. I´ve known him for years. He´s been a good ol´ Texas boy forever.

George had a drinking problem for years that most professionals would say needed therapy.

He doesn´t believe in it [therapy], he never got it. He drank his way through his youth, through college and well into his thirties. Everyone´s drinking around him."

Another source said: "A family member told me they fear George is ´falling apart.´ The First Lady has been assigned the job of gatekeeper."

Bush´s history of drinking dates back to his youth. Speaking of his time as a young man in the National Guard, he has said "One thing I remember, and I´m most proud of, is my drinking and partying. “Those were the days my friends. Those were the good old days!"

At age 26 in 1972, he reportedly rounded off a night´s boozing with his 16-year-old brother Marvin by challenging his father to a fight, after the senior Bush upbraided him for driving while drunk and smashing into a neighbor’s garbage cans: Washington Post. July 28, 1999; page A1. Washington Post.com. 11 February 2004.

On November 1, 2000, on the eve of his first presidential election, Bush acknowledged that in 1976 he was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol near his parents´ home in Maine.

Age 30 at the time, Bush pleaded guilty and paid a $150 fine. His driving privileges were temporarily suspended in Maine.

"I´m not proud of that," he said. "I made some mistakes. I occasionally drank too much, and I did that night. I learned my lesson."

In another interview around that time, he said: "Well, I don´t think I had an addiction. You know it´s hard for me to say. I´ve had friends who were, you know, very addicted... and they required hitting bottom (to start) going to AA. I don´t think that was my case."

During his 2000 presidential campaign, there were also persistent questions about past cocaine use. Eventually Bush denied using cocaine after 1992, then quickly extended the cocaine-free period back to 1974, when he was 28.

Dr. Justin Frank,

a Washington D.C. psychiatrist and author of Bush On The Couch:

Inside The Mind Of The President, told The National Enquirer:

"I do think that Bush is drinking again. Alcoholics who are not in any program, like the President, have a hard time when stress gets to be great. I think it´s a concern that Bush disappears during times of stress. He spends so much time on his ranch. It´s very frightening."

The "choking pretzel" incident had nothing to do with a pretzel but was a carefully contrived story used to cover up a Bush drinking spree that resulted in his passing out on a coffee table in the White House second floor residence and injuring his face. Ditto the numerous cases of Bush falling off a bike somewhere to explain further wounds on his face. characteristics of the "dry drunk" in terms of: his incoherence while speaking away from the script; his irritability with anyone (for example, Germany´s Schröder) who dares disagree with him; and his dangerous obsessing about only one thing (Iraq) to the exclusion of all other things.

THis reads like some bizarre PR stunt to try and create an image of a man who cares. Cares so much it is driving him to drink.

Remember that we are talking about a genocidal, racist mass murderer here.

Well by now most have you have heard of the front page story on this week´s National Enquirer that Bush was drinking during the Katrina crisis. And how the Enquirer is actually pretty damn good at fact checking their asses so they don´t get sued.

Is Bush drinking again? Or has he always been drinking?

On the flip is a transcript of a commercial break captured on satellite feed from Bush and Laura on the Larry King show in 2004, just before Bush was re-elected. Read it. Then watch it.

reef the dog´s diary :: ::

LARRY KING: They´re recommending me for the debates. I hope you-
BUSH: Great! I remember the famous one we did in South Carolina. That was fun!
LARRY KING: Jeez what a night that was.
BUSH: That was fun! (SNIGGERS)
LAURA: That was the wild night when everyone was drinking!
BUSH: (VERY QUICKLY TRYING TO CUT HER OFF) No no no! This was the one where we had-
LAURA: With John Kerry?
BUSH: No this was the primary.
LAURA: The primary.
LARRY KING: McCain and uh...
BUSH: Keyes.
LARRY KING: Keyes!
BUSH: (TO LAURA) That was one of the two South Carolina debates. This was the big debate. He wasn´t at the big debate, this was live debate...
LARRY KING: In the round...
BUSH: No yeah it was awesome! Off camera we can talk about it, I remember McCain got after Keyes-
LARRY KING: Oh yeah.
BUSH: Whoo!



Okay, now watch the video. It´s pretty darn clear that Laura was being a little too chatty and realized it.
