Sobriety'd Be Fine...

At bottom, is a photo of our fatuous "leader" allegedly drinking a "pisco sour" at the APEC conference in Peru. It's only news because everyone (including him) pretends that he's been sober since he turned 40.

On top, is a reportedly "falling down drunk" Bush, at the Olympics. His Olympic trip was filled with bizarre (drunken?)behavior, like playing grab-ass with a female Beach Volleyball player. Literally.

The National Enquirer is reporting that Bush has been drinking since shortly after 9/11. Which would explain a lot. I know, it's the Enquirer. But let's not forget, they were the one's who nailed (no pun intended)the John Edwards affair story. I'm just saying.

I don't think anyone would be surprised to learn that the guy has been drinking on the job for the last 7 years. You want to have a drink? Have a drink. But don't hide it. Don't fake it. Don't front. It's the worst lie the media has embraced since the Brittany Spears is saving herself for marriage publicity stunt.

Listen, Duh. In 2 months, you can stagger back to your ranch and drink yourself into a coma, for all I care. Just don't lie about it. We all know what's in those non-alcoholic beers that you're so fond of. You want a beer? Drink a beer. It's as bad as Michael Jackson drinking wine out of a Pepsi can.

It reminds me of a lyric to an old Bill Deasy song. "I keep on drinking even though I quit. Sobriety'd be fine if I just got the hang of it."
