It's not fair to always say Boehner is drunk [View all]

Last edited Thu Jan 3, 2013, 09:15 PM - Edit history (1)

Long term alcoholics like Boehner and George W. Bush suffer progressive brain damage from alcoholism that leaves them sounding drunk even when they are not.

And their brain is so damaged from years of poisoning that they are never really "right"—simple fatigue will often mimic extreme drunkenness.

Boehner's office should explain this to people... in just these terms.

For anyone who took this seriously (as some relies suggest might be the case)... it's funny because the explanation is so much worse than what is being explained away. And it is edgy funny because it's probably true, which is scary. A lot of times when people thought W was drinking I disagreed, believing him to be what used to be called a wet-head... someone perpetually punch drunk from a life of booze and drugs.[\div]
