Caught just a portion of it and CNN cut away. He looked Loaded and slurred every other word. I don't think that is just my opinion. anyone else catch this ?

1. Sorry...
I muted after about 2 sentences and turned away from looking.

Maybe he'll do another snafu and tell the crowd "We will not have an all volunteer army" like he did yesterday!

8. Do you think maybe that's why CNN cut away?
Strange they're not foisting more of it on the viewers. I might just have to check out Fauxviews.

4. Ya think?! I hope he is drunk as a skunk.
What time would you have to start drinking to be drunk already at 11:00 a.m.?

Bush yesterday - he looks like hell:

7. Did not see but
he might be having a dry drunk, even if he's not actually hitting the bottle.

Interesting article on the subject from CounterPunch: http://www.counterpunch.org/wormer1011.html

11. heh he (evil snicker)
Way to go George! That's the way to inspire confidence in you. All the working families and parents of soldiers in Iraq look to you for leadership. All the 'Children left behind' are hoping for some improvements in the next 4 years, George.

You certainly have a way of building your base by facing your voters in person. Cheers! Skål!
