My thoughts on the Enquirer Bush story

[jmowreader]

Remember about four years ago when the Enquirer ran a story about Jenna Bush's drunken carousing?

Remember a few weeks after that, when the anthrax attacks happened? The first place that got hit (and the only fatality from the attacks) was the mailroom at American Media, the company that owns the Enquirer.

These people know firsthand the dangers of crossing Bush--and calling him a drunk is about as crossed as Bush can possibly be.

I know Bush is going to retaliate somehow. If you ran the Enquirer, would you want him to retaliate because you lied about him to try to sell a couple of papers?

Add to that the simple fact that Bush has been an active and heavy drinker since he took office, and probably before. I know, and you know, that he drinks. Either that, or staggering around like someone gave him a $1000 gift card to DC Liquors even though he's sober is Bush's idea of a good time.

I believe the story, simply because there's too much for them to lose to make up something like this.
