The President's Secret Breakdown - Bwahaha!

[NightOwwl]

First The Enquirer, now The Globe. It's in the November 21 issue, on newstands now. The magazine cover has a picture of Bush looking worried, with huge headlines saying "Bush's Secret Breakdown."

The article starts out ominously:

What every American needs to know.

President Bush is drinking heavily again as he's overwhelmed by crisis after crisis, GLOBE has learned exclusively. "Bush is breaking down. He's boozing and that's a dangerous personal situation, " a source tells us. "It's an open secret in the Inner circle, no one is happy about it. He's fallen back into it. He's under so much stress that he just cracked. The White House is hiding this from America. They don't want anyone to know."

"The President is hanging in there by a thread thanks to Laura's unwavering support." Shockingly, insiders have even whispered that the president has been seeing a therapist to help hm cope and in several emotional outbusts, told Laura he just can't take it anymore.

In one outburst, a source reveals that Bush "actually had tears in his eyes as he said, "I'd just walk away from all of this if I could. The price is too high!"

Oh please, Mr. pResident, do us all a favor and walk away!!!

Sorry, no link is available, but I'm sitting here with the magazine in front of me. Too bad MSM doesn't have the guts to publish this stuff.

[Faygo Kid]

1. Who publishes The Globe? I want to see this.

None of this "no link available" stuff. Unacceptable, given what you have posted.

[NightOwwl]

4. Oh for crying out loud.

I said I was looking right at the magazine. Do you actually think I would make up a post like that?

Here is a link to their website. They don't have the article posted online:

[Faygo Kid]

10. Oh, fer crying out quietly.

I just wanted to track it. I feel like I have been picked on. Don't get it.

[NightOwwl]

11. Me too...guess we both misunderstood.

Anyway, it is on the newstands now...and boy does it stand out!

Poor, poor Bush...NOT!

:nopity:

[Brundle_Fly]

32. make up you too.

think before you post.

breathe....

ohhmmm ohhmmm

some tea....

better?

[Pharlo]

41. LOL...

Did you ever get the impression that the Dems are the Herald in Red America?...

Never thought of it that way before.

Quondo Omni Flunkus Mortati (Democratic party proudly sharing the Possum Lodge motto since 2000).


Favorite characters: Edgar Montrose and Hap Shaughnessy

:)

[Faygo Kid]

57. Hap is probably the guy who came up with the justification for Iraq war.

Only a Hap Shaughnessy or Dick Cheney could tell that whopper.

[Pharlo]

95. Hap's story would have been a hell of a lot

more credulous than anything Cheney could make up. Plus, Hap would get definite points for imagination and originality. Cheney uses the same excuses over and over.

Hap could dream up the excuse, and Edgar could blow 'em up....

[Kurovski]

115. OMG! Did Hap put his catch in his pants?

Is there REALLY anyone in America who wants this nutty administration to remain? The approval numbers just can't be as high as they say they are.

[mzmolly]

125. Ahhh, that pic makes me long for Canada.

;)

[bleever]

137. ROFL.

Too much, mzmolly.

[mzmolly]

148. Tee hee.

:hi:

[XemaSab]

50. Do you go to the grocery store?

Or are you like George sr who didn't know how much a loaf of bread cost?

[pitohui]

80. america media inc, the anthrax victims

as far as i know, the globe is still published by ami, the same folks who publish national enquirer, and the sun, you may remember the sun, their photo editor bob stevens published pix of jenna bush on a bar-room floor drunk on top of another chick -- and he died by anthrax


another employee, i think his name was ernesto blanco but you may want to google it, was almost killed by the anthrax powder at the same time

their building was totalled

i'm surprised the nat'l enquirer & the globe are again "squeaking up" but good for them, this takes real courage

[Mr_Spock]

177. Huh?

I have never read that rag, but I have seen it in checkout lines 1000 times...

[grytpype]

2. It could actually be true, who knows...

Even a strong person would be crushed by the weight Bush is under... lying the country into a war and then losing it is more than most people could bear.

[indie_voter]

3. Yep, reality has a nasty way of crashing down on all of us. n/t

[CountAllVotes]

49. nawwwwwwww

* is far too evil to feel any guilt. :nopity:

WE MUST CATCH THIS CROOK & TRY HIM FOR HIS CRIMES AND HE MUST BE TOSSED IN JAIL FOR LIFE FOR HIS CRIMEs!

:kick:

[Catamount]

166. I'm with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Carni]

102. Even if it isn't true we should all buy the Globe

If they see their sales spike because of a bush bashing headline they'll publish more of the same and the other media whores may follow suit!

Thanks for this post I'm buying the Globe!

[kliljedahl]

5. You paid money for that rag?

N/T

[NightOwwl]

12. No...actually a friend bought it for me.

But if I had seen it at the checkout line I would have bought it myself! :7

[Carolab]

6. I KNEW he was drinking wine with Prince Charles on that video. n/t

Maybe we should do a GLOBAL INTERVENTION?

Why should "poor Laura" have to tough it out alone?

WE'LL BE GLAD TO HELP LAURA!

GET DUBYA ON THE 12-STEP PROGRAM TO SANITY!

[NightOwwl]

16. Drinking heavily...

[LiberalEsto]

26. His 5-o-clock shadow

looks worse than Nixon's, and that's saying a lot!

[NightOwwl]

28. Not to mention the puffy eyes....

and the veiny nose.

That is not lack of sleep. That is a big-time hangover.

[Tinksrival]

129. Is that a microphone .......

or are you just happy to see me. (hic)



"George is tryin so harrd! I'm so proud......
Oh crap, my drug induced stooper is wearin off, is he done yet?"

[Maru Kitteh]

157. Um.... that's so obviously photoshopped.

There's plenty of photos where his gin blossoms shine through and he looks like crap - no need for somebody to shop one.

[The Doctor.]

46. I know just the Guy Bush should see;

[wherewingstakedream]

59. Stuart Smalley to the rescue!!!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[goclark]

77. Globe said it was water nt

Unless it is photoshopped, his glass was crystal clear.

He was probably drunk already when the phony op took place.

[Olney Blue]

96. Was it straight vodka?

... a favorite of alcoholics.

[goclark]

110. Huum, maybe that is what he is packing

in the back of his suit, a vodka drip! LOL

[fearnobush]

91. He needs an extended 18month treatment facility now.

wouldn't want him relapsing on the job. He must change people places and things. The Whitehouse is definately one of thes places and things.

[goclark]

93. He needs Betty Ford or Promises and he can't go.

Remember when Laura disappeared for weeks this past summer?

Huum

Bet they are both boozing.

[NightOwwl]

104. She hides the fact she's a chain-smoker.

Wouldn't want anyone thinking she's not the "perfect little wifey."

So I wouldn't be surprised at all if she is a booze-hound pill-popper as well.

[roseBudd]

103. Canofun has a video that shows him slurring and wearing a drunk face

But I haven't been able to get to that site all day.

[Ilsa]

153. I htink that's the problem: he won't do a 12 step.

He didn't do one before, and that left him a dry drunk. Now he's off the wagon (I guess he's cut back on his desserts, though) and has the proverbial finger on the button. That canofun videotape of him at Kilgore's rally was very telling. Worst slurring I've ever heard without seeing a speaker fall down.

[CTyankee]

7. Thank you NightOwwl

I for one won't bash you. If people can't just take a look next time they're in the supermarket or drugstore, well I give up!

I love it that you shared this with us! I've been wondering why this story died and waiting for SOME indication that it would surface again. I got some loud guffaws from members of my family (and they're Dems!)when I reported the Enquirer piece, so I just shut up about it.
When it all comes out, I'll have the last laugh.

[NightOwwl]

15. Here's more for you...

Well-connected columnist Cindy Adams reveals that the troubled president has even turned to watching reruns of the hit show, The West Wing. "The president is looking everywhere for help."

:rofl:

[CTyankee]

38. I would laugh too, like your smilies, but

it scares me how awful he actually is. Drunk is probably worse than sober. At least when he's drunk he probably just passes out cold and can't do anything else to screw up.

In all of my long life, I never thought I would see what I am seeing now. Incredible.

[Carla in Ca]

112. Incredible...exactly

I hope it is true. He must have started again to get his swagger back. I'm going to hold my nose and buy a couple of issues. I definitely want them to see a spike in sales! WooHoo!

[Marie26]

145. You know

I am in danger of feeling sorry for Bush. He doesn't have a clue & he knows it. He's watching the "West Wing" for guidance? He seems to depend absolutely & completely on other people (or shows) to tell him what to do. If he loses Karl Rove he might finally go around the bend.

[calimary]

101. Agreed. I, for one, appreciate hearing this news. I will make sure to

buy a copy. No. THREE copies. I've been keeping copies of stuff like newspapers and TIME and Newsweek for momentous occasions in our history, so each of my kids can have these documentations - things like the Millennium coverage, 9/11, the war, Katrina, bush lies, Pope dies, bush lies some more, that sort of thing. I bought three copies of the Enquirer because it was the first time this story had gone mainstream, and I wanted them each to have an issue. So too with this, I think. Our neighborhood store doesn't carry the tabs - dropped 'em when Princess Di died. But I can find the Globe elsewhere nearby. And I shall. Can't wait to savor every word.

:evilgrin:

[SammyWinstonJack]

8. HE CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE?

:wtf: :grr: HE SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE HE LET THE ELECTION BE STOLEN AGAIN! :mad: Or does the whiner actually believe he won a second term, fair and square? :rofl: You asked for this Pinhead. Getting a little pissy, since things aren't exactly going your way? :rofl: Want to take your ball and go home? :rofl: LOSER! :dunce:

[NightOwwl]

13. Tell us how you really feel Blue State Native...

:rofl: :rofl:

[SammyWinstonJack]

187. I think I did!

Sorry if I got carried away, but ** brings out the absolute worst in me. :blush:

[calimary]

107. Indeed. The OP made a plea - please walk away! But the problem is -

that's his pattern already. Life-long. This is what he's ALWAYS done when the going got tough, and/or he'd finally realized he'd screwed the pooch again. He always got to walk away, get transfered, get bailed out, get kicked sideways, whatever. It would actually be better if he DIDN'T, or COULDN'T walk away this time. This botch-job is too big and too bad. He's reached a position in which his fuck-ups are epic in proportion. I think it would be useful, instructive, and redemptive, if America could see what happens when you lie to THAT extent. What a REAL IMPEACHABLE lie looks like - instead of some piss-ant persecution over a stained blue dress.

It would be VERY healing and instructive for America also to see that, in the final accounting, cheaters DON'T prosper, and that crime DOESN'T pay. So far, all we're still seeing is him getting away with it. At least for the time being, I suspect, although that free-pass phenomenon doesn't look like it has much tread left on it. There are lessons we all need to learn in this life, so we can progress after this phase ends. So far, george has been able to avoid that. Unfortunately, the bill is coming due and has to be paid one way or the other. Would have been so much better if he'd learned this in elementary school, or high school, or in having to face Vietnam or serious charges for going AWOL, or having to settle for some non-marquee-value college, or maybe had to face cocaine or drunk driving arrests and trial and loss of license, or maybe figure it out for himself when his next company went bankrupt - something - ANTHING - to show him there are consequences when you screw up so wantonly. It might have saved America a whole lot of anguish and a whole lot of bloodshed and a whole lot of loss and a whole lot of tears. Unfortunately, he's put off having to pay up until now - when the stakes are so excruciatingly high it's nearly unfathomable.

Frankly, he'd be better off paying up now than if he somehow slithered out of trouble and had to face the Pearly Gates with so many overdue bills. I'd rather burn off my bad karma here on this plane.

[NightOwwl]

109. Nice post....

Truth be told, I'm kind of glad Kerry didn't win. For the first time in his life, Bush has to take responsibility for his own mess. Oh, he'll try to weasel out of it, like trying to blame the war on the Dems :wtf:, but it ain't going to work.

He has ALWAYS been able to run away from the shitstorm he created, but NOT THIS TIME!

[calimary]

116. I heard a LOT of people saying what you said - being glad Kerry didn't

win - for PRECISELY this reason - that Kerry would otherwise have been saddled with all bush's chickens coming home to roost, and rest assured the CACA-PHONY caucus would have made sure to pin the blame on the donkey (!) 24/7 when it wasn't Kerry's doing. They said exactly this - that since bush "won" a second term, it would be he, stuck there holding the sludge bag when all the toxins inside finally ate through the bottom. He HAS always been able somehow to run away from every shitstorm he's created. But this one's too big.

Another reason, BTW, that this article is believable. He has a life-long track record for walking away. It's his template. It's habitual by now. No wonder he's used to it, and deep-down wishes for it again. That teary-eyed quote attributed to him in a dispairing moment - about how he wishes he could walk away from all of it - is something you'd expect a person to say if that's what's happened for them in a series of mistakes past. It makes sense.

[longship]

123. You are oh so correct here.

I do not think he can walk away this time. If he does we will all portray him as a failure, something the Repugs will not allow. There will be no spin that will take if ChimpCo walks away.

I just don't know what would be worse at this point. Walking away, or not. I think if the House goes sour on ChimpCo and starts acting responsible we could have impeachment hearings within the year. Public opinion could be eroding so quickly right now that I'm beginning to think this could very well happen. At least this is what I hope happens.

[femrap]

127. I think 2006 will be a great year....

I don't see how W can finish his term. I still hope to see him break down on national TV...crying and screaming that it isn't his fault!

Hey, maybe the Globe's next edition will be about Space Aliens kidnapping the president!

[longship]

139. Space aliens?

I think that's the Weekly World News' exclusive domain.

[SammyWinstonJack]

188. Well, like he said and it might be the most truthful thing he has ever

said, 'the stakes are too high" Wonder if he really gets that, on a personal level, that is?

[KC21304]

9. Hang in there George !

If you want to know why I say that, read KOS.

http://www.dailykos.com/

[NightOwwl]

17. From the dailykos thread:

"And as far as legacies go, what would be worst -- destroying his own presidency or destroying his entire party?"

Can we do both? :evilgrin:

[SharonRB]

30. How about destroying the whole country, not to mention the world

during his tenure? He's accomplished what no man has before.

[Ladyhawk]

97. Oh, do let's!!!

I'm not into tabloid rags, but if those pics aren't doctored, someone is hitting the booze awfully hard.

[Demit]

20. Really. Getting rid of GWB wouldn't exactly be the end of the nightmare.

When you look at the order of succession, you see how deep they are in corruption/incompetence/nastiness. Probably the best scenario is maintaining GWB and his lame-duckness, so that he's hamstrung & they can't really continue with their destructive agenda.

[goclark]

40. My thought exactly ~ keep him crazy

Who would we get - Cheney or McCain.

[calimary]

113. But that assumes that if bush is bounced, cheney remains.

This may not be easy for America to swallow. He's got even lower popularity polls than george's - anybody know "Hey 19"? And he's in the thick of everything that's a big problem for bush at the moment, except maybe for the whole Harriet Miers affair. It could just as easily be a house-cleaning for them both, and the way it appears the Fitzgerald business may drag on for Fibby libby, it could well be AFTER we very likely take back the House in '06. In that case, it would be President Pelosi, if I'm not mistaken.

By the time it comes to that - by that I mean bush's popularity with America down so far it's irretrievable - the national mood might just be sour enough to take 'em both out, either one after the other OR together. These things take time, and COULD be dragged out by savvy Democratic House rule usage until after the 2006 election and we know where we stand. Then, suddenly, everything could just sort of magically speed up! Besides, with a mood that sour - bush by then SERIOUSLY contaminating other republi-CON candidates - any fears of missing the boat on some generational realignment may be unfounded.

[rocktivity]

14. SECRET breakdown? What's secret about it?

:evilgrin:
rocknation

[NightOwwl]

18. You got that right!

:toast:

[undeterred]

19. I read it in line at the supermarket

I love it that they treat the President as if he were no different than Jennifer Aniston or Oprah. :shrug:

[NightOwwl]

21. Did you happen to notice the picture they published...

Showing him guzzling a bottle of booze back in his college days. No way that picture would have seen the light of day even 6 months ago.

I don't care if it is The Globe, this kind of coverage is awesome!

[undeterred]

22. And some people will believe it because its in a tabloid

Sadly, some of the "tabloids" are more trustworthy than MSM news.

[K8-EEE]

34. Yeah, Freeps Are So Gullible

They actually trust the tabs more than the LOL "liberal media!"

[goclark]

85. I totally agree! He is twisting in the wind - drunk

There is such a big difference with the poll numbers for Clinton and Bush.

Clinton could relate to people.

He was highly articulate and highly visible.

He selected great people for his Cabinet and his wife was ARTICULATE and helped him achieve his victories.

He was also SMART ~ I rest my case.

[Clark2008]

27. Is he?

He's just a spoiled little brat who expects the world to stop when he walks in a room.

Sounds like a "star" to me. :evilgrin:

[nashville_brook]

36. you mean like a diva?

makes sense to me. :)

[Kurovski]

138. Yep, "The Diva of Disaster" sounds like a legacy to me.

[Maestro]

23. Check this out.

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/video1019.htm

Should be fixed now.

[NightOwwl]

24. Link not working Maestro....n/t

[rosesaylavee]

111. WOW. I never saw that last year...

I thought he was always an incompetent public speaker - in 1994 he could actually speak off the cuff in complete sentences. We are in trouble!

[NightOwwl]

114. Amazing, isn't it.

There is definitely some brain shrinkage going on.

[Maestro]

186. All that coke mixed with alcohol and

radical right wing kool aid will do it to you every time.

[EuroObserver]

132. He looks coked-up in the early segment (and well-rehearsed)

...and is definitely neuron-challenged more recently.

[lovuian]

25. I've been seeing stuff too in the tabloids like the STAR and the

Enquirer!!! I'm not surprised he is breaking down mentally!!!

All men who do evil and is seduced into it succumb to the relentless pursuit of the unconcious... Its punishing him just like the others...

I know he wishes he could turn back time but alas we must take responsiblity for our actions... He will have many sleepless nights from here on out!!!

[goclark]

89. So where is Newsweek ? Time? WP, NYT?

If Globe knows it, where is the "real" press?

[Kurovski]

140. Well, the National Enquirer reported on this a month or so ago.

That's a step up, at least from The New York Times.

[The Backlash Cometh]

29. And to think they knew he was an ex-cocaine user and AA member

BEFORE they voted for him.

[Johnny Noshoes]

94. Actually

he never went to AA. He found Jesus via Billy Graham or some other preacher and GAWD helped him. He's a dry drunk or maybe not anymore.

"No matter how good you feel, if four friends tell you you're drunk, you better lie down."

[CTyankee]

124. Please, what is GAWD?

Sorry, I try so hard to keep up but...

[Kurovski]

143. I think it's the God of the Right-wing nutbags and money-grubbers.

So as to distinguish from "God" as worshipped by those with charity, forgiveness, humility, peace and love in their hearts.

I think it is often a sign of respect for the true followers of Jesus' message. But...sometimes not.

[Johnny Noshoes]

168. Just my really bad way

of trying to do a phony preachers exagerated pronunciation of the word God.

[tinrobot]

31. He already went AWOL once...

For some reason, I get the feeling he'll do it again.

Too much hard work for the spoiled brat.

[CJCRANE]

173. Well, the President

of Peru ran away to Japan, so maybe * will run way to London, his old mate Tony Blair could put him up for a few days in the guest bedroom at 10 Downing St.

[K8-EEE]

33. Tabs Are What Freepers Read -- They Believe Batboy!!

I love the Tabs ratting Bush out, and personally, judging from his appearance & slurring at the Kilgore rally, the "unscripted chat" with the troops and many other recent appearances, I think he's mixing psych drugs with occasional shots of booze...that wrecks you, and man, he is WRECKED!!

[yorkiemommie1]

43. yes i know someone who gets ALL of her news

from the Enquirer and i have a feeling she voted for *. so this stuff coming out in tabloids is a good thing.

get the info out on ALL levels, next would be comic books.

or how bout a coloring book for freepers where they can color in his bumps, bruises and lying S.O.S. mouth? is there one out there? there has GOT to be

[K8-EEE]

56. LOL!!! COLORING BOOK!

THAT WAS FUNNY! It can come with black and blue crayons for when he falls off the bike.

[NightOwwl]

Or one of those sticker books....

where you dress the person up in different items of clothing. They could include a prison garb outfit with matching handcuffs.

[globalvillage]

35. Lynn Samuels was talking about this on her show. n/t.

[MojoXN]

42. Watch this video...

http://www.canofun.com/blog/videos/isbushdrunkie.wmv

And tell me he WASN'T drunk! Hilariously tragic, tragically hilarious, y'know, like when a clown dies... :D

MojoXN

[the_real_38]

45. the Globe and these tabloids have lawyers .....

.... that vet this stuff, because the stakes are so high: they can and have been sued for big bucks. Either:

(1) This story is true.
(2) The White House doesn't want to spend too much time swatting at flies by dignifying it.

I'll go with (1) - I think Bush is weak in the mind. He's confident when things are gong his way, but loses his nerve and lashes out when they're not. Kind of scary to think that he has the authority to launch nuclear bombs.

[Johnny Noshoes]

98. "tragically hilarious, y'know, like when a clown dies... "

99. Help me out, this link is down

Is this a link to the infamous "wedding video" or something else?

thanks

[WinkyDink]

47. Don't believe it? Two words:

"Bruno Magli".

[goclark]

92. Thank you very much!

TABS lawyers are not crazy! They get paid big money.
They also have lots of Secretaries/assistants that are willing to spill a little dirt for a few $$$$$$ 's.

[calimary]

118. Touche.

No, really. When I worked at the AP, we got complimentary issues of the Enquirer. It got poured over every week by everybody in the newsroom from the chief editor on. They got tips, ideas for what directions to pursue to verify stories - as John Lennon once said - in their "own write."

[Time for change]

48. This is good to see

Without the unwavering support of the MSM and the Republican supporting voting machine companies and the big $$$ from the 1% of our population who benefit from his policies he couldn't get 5% of the vote in a national election -- not today, not in 2000 or 04, not EVER.

[AnnInLa]

51. I love the fact that supermarket rags have made him

so vulnerable and "common" to the vast robotic masses of sheeple who really thought he was 10 feet tall and bullet-proof. My mother used to tell me that, "Familiarity breeds contempt." (Of course, I was a teen, and she was trying to scare me away from sex at the time.) But, you get the gist of what that implies.

[MADem]

174. Yep, the idiots who will never watch the news will read them

So it really doesn't matter if it is accurate. And they don't even have to vote D in protest, they just need to stay home and watch sitcoms instead of heading to the voting booth.

[Cleita]

52. He should resign then.

It would be the noble thing to do. I don't care if we get Cheney. He's got one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel anyway. Also, he'll be the next one indicted after Libby.

Buh...bye both you evil creeps.

[Wapsie B]

58. That's right.

He's no longer able to fulfill the office of POTUS. (I know I know he never could in the first place.)But at least the old smoke and mirrors show was able to fool enough people into voting for him twice.

[femrap]

128. Maybe Poppa bush can come up with some excuse

for baby bush to step down...I fear that this evil family of his will have him killed and turned him into a martyr!

Maybe they could say he has a brain tumor....and he needs to recuperate somewhere. But damn, that leaves Cheney....and he is scarier than hell. Fitzy will have to indict him before w can go 'recuperate.'

[Wapsie B]

133. Yes. I've thought someone who pulls the strings would have him Kennedyed.

Make him a martyr for the rwing cause, setting the stage for a huge sympathy vote in '08.

[femrap]

135. I pray that doesn't happen.....I want him to live a long

and miserable life...

[Wapsie B]

136. That's right.

I want him to live a long life, long enough that he has to pay for his past life, a literal hell on earth.

[femrap]

161. and his liver really really

hurts, too!

[Wapsie B]

162. I bet it does.

It's had to try and filter out all that coke and booze for all those years along with god knows what else.

[femrap]

165. He should have just smoked pot...

there were studies recently that said pot improved memory!

60. Here is some more fine journalism from the Globe

And this is just from a quick google search.

[domlaw]

88. I had no idea that Babs and the big dog had a thing

and poor Sally Field. It looks like the only one who'll marry her now is the BatBoy.

Oh and I lived with a Lesbian once (sure glad I didn't catch gay)

LOL

[Ladyhawk]

100. Thanks for the perspective. :)

Seriously. You can't trust these tabloid stories at all.

[WinkyDink]

182. The KEY is how one READS them!

Many titles are just clever/sly questions.
But there is also truth. Hillary, e.g., DID have a lesbian roomie; it's not the Globe's fault if readers infer something NOT true. Heh.
As for "cops name Chandra's killer", I suspect "name" is used generally, as in, "It's someone she knew", as opposed to "It's Gary Condit".

Of course, one could always just stick to the MSM, and get the Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing But the Truth.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

[pitohui]

189. they did name levy's killer, it was an ecuadorian immigrant if i recall

you may google it yourself, i'm tired of doing everybody's homework for them

democrats need to get better memories, condit may have been a DINO, i don't know, i don't know much abt him, but he was accused & harrassed on page one, and he was reluctantly cleared in fine print under the crossword puzzles on the last page of the sports section

that is just not right

democrats of all people should have been making a careful study of this case & how this man was destroyed by a false accusation, instead of just piling on

[WiseButAngrySara]

105. Gosh! Thanks for the reminder. I've never purchased one of these rags,

and I usually avert my eyes after reading the headlines. I now remember why they are referred to as trash and rags.

[jefferson_dem]

61. Bush Goes on Drinking Binge After Breakdown!!!!

According to The Globe tabloid, at least.

I just got back from the local grocery and sure enough...right there staring me in the face was a big splash of Chimpy's ugly-ass mug on the cover of The Globe magazine. Inscribed in 36 pt font across the top of the rag was something like --

What the White House wants to keep from you. Bush has breakdown and goes on drinking binge. Now in therapy.

You know things are bad when the tabloid feeding frenzy begins.

Besides, do we know it's NOT true? Is there at least a shred of credibility i wonder.

THIS IS A DUPE. PLEASE DIRECT COMMENTS HERE > http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5343880&mesg_id=5343880

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[babylonsister]

62. And just think of all the people who will see that! nt

[jefferson_dem]

65. No shit. That mag is spread far and wide and this cover was unmistakeable

Check the local mini mart to see for yourself.

[calimary]

70. No shit? This is really out there?

Hope you're not teasing. Because if it IS out there where the bedrock of his base is, then he's got ANOTHER headache indeed. A whole new type of headache. Too bad - might drive him to drinkin'...

[NightOwwl]

82. Not teasing. It's all true. And there is a photo inside ...

from his fratboy days showing him guzzling from a bottle of booze while another guy holds a second bottle and poors booze in his mouth.

It is quite amusing. :7

[havocmom]

66. Better wear raincoats and goggles to the grocery stores!

Gonna get messy with all those heads exploding at the checkouts :evilgrin:

:: PA message:: "Clean up on the store concourse... AGAIN. Bring the BIG mop"

[libbygurl]

63. Yep, saw that at the grocery store today, too. Although it's not the

first tabloid to report/suspect it. The National Enquirer published 'rumours' about the same thing over a month or so ago, also discussed here on DU. Where there's smoke...

[ClarkinMich]

64. already a good thread on this

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5343880&mesg_id=5343880

[jefferson_dem]

68. THANKS. THIS IS A DUPE THEN. Please direct comments there.

[eleny]

67. I wasn't planning on going shopping this weekend

But I think I'll go tomorrow. :evilgrin:

[calimary]

72. Screw that, I may go tonight!

:evilgrin:

Gotta see this for myself.

[eleny]

87. Hee! Now tht's a big dose of curiosty ya got there!!!

:headbang:

[calimary]

119. Oh why the heck not? It'll be the first time all day that I get the car.

My driving-age daughter has made sure of that all day today. :headbang: Cool! Another smilie! I've learned quite a few by now. :toast:

[splat]

69. Headlines from a parallel universe n/t

[NNadir]

71. Whatever their merits - this sort of bread and circuses can influence the

masses I suspect.

There are some people - not necessarily the deepest thinkers - who will buy it. Anything that tends to shorten the tenure of this increasingly dangerous set of fools is probably a good thing.

Irrespective of the source, we may find ultimately that Bush has fallen off the wagon. The collapse of an inactive alcoholic would not be unprecedented. It happened to my late step brother, and he was a much finer man than George W. Bush.

[Cleita]

73. Uhmm. The Globe?

Isn't that the one that puts badly photoshopped pictures of mermaids, lizard headed babies and other fantasy creatures on its front page?
Although, like a broken clock that is right twice a day, sometimes the tabloids speak the truth. It's too bad we can't get him outted in a more repectable journal.

[Kingofalldems]

76. No--You are speaking of the Weekly World News n/t

[pitohui]

83. no that's the weekly world news EOM

.

[Dogmudgeon]

74. And Drew Barrymore is dating the Ghost of Archduke Ferdinand

I'm sorry, jefferson_dem, but tabloid news is usually a form of fiction.

Besides, Bush could have had a hundred breakdowns; how would we be able to tell?

--p!

[jefferson_dem]

81. Very true, Pigwideon.

I, for one, would never claimed this story to be anything more than fiction on its face, considering the source. Certainly, we would need more sourcing to support tabloid gossip. Still, that does not mean such wild-eyed claims have no effect on the audience --- casual readers or mere passers by. I also think this is more solid evidence regarding the current media / public posture toward the chimp-in-chief. Feeding frenzy time.

[dchill]

84. "Fiction" is appropriate...

for a guy whose whole presidency has been a work of fiction. IMO, the Globe is merely balancing the teeter-totter.

;)

[Ian David]

75. I predict someone here has a headache and...

that you've lost someone (either they've passed-on, or moved away) whose name begins with the letter "J", and that it will snow in Alaska soon.

Predicting Bush is hitting the bottle is a safe bet to make whether they have real evidence or not.

Oh, and your headache will get better.

The important thing is that they realize people will see this and want to buy their magazine. This is a barometer of the mood of the American people. More people believe in Alien Abduction than believe in Dick Cheney (who has a 19% approval rating).

[calimary]

121. Not to mention all those Elvis sightings out there!

No, really, the important thing is INDEED that people will see this and want to buy the magazine. Plant those seeds! But this one is no backyard victory garden. This one's being done for us by agri-business.

Popcorn anyone?

[nadinbrzezinski]

78. Sir we will understand serious

RESIGN

See how understandng we are, RESGN

[Kingofalldems]

79. Hey freepers, how's your week going?

This has been a bad week for you idiots-----and now this.

[domlaw]

90. Freepers are all Happy

Cause Bush speech was like the Gettysberg Address. Everytime I hear that it makes me giggle.

[calimary]

122. Welcomet to DU!

Help us go the distance -

Visualize IMPEACHMENT!!!!!!
Then go DO something about it.

[BronxBoy]

171. You're kidding right???

Someone actually said that?

[domlaw]

172. I would not kid about something that crazy

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/11/12.html#a5829

[leftofthedial]

86. yeah? well the world can't walk away from the disasters your sorry ass

has caused

[daleo]

106. I hope these guys don't get an anthrax attack

It seemed odd that Al-Queda picked a weekly tabloid to attack with anthrax, a few year's back. I believe the paper in question had run some unflattering photos of the Bush girls, though. Perhaps A-Q will feel sorry for Bush's wounded pride again.

[goclark]

108. I thought the Tabs had some evidence

with a photo of the Chimp and Victor.

I read that someplace.

[daleo]

117. It might have bee that, too

I recall they raised the ire of the BFEE, anyway. Not longer they had the misfortune to be targeted by the anthrax killer.

[longship]

120. I'd be happy about this if only...

ChimpCo did not have so much power right now. It's the power thing that presents the problem. He can do so damned much harm so easily.

If this story is indeed true, I hope for our sake I hope, I pray that somebody from the MSM picks up on this. If it's true we have the right to know and the media has an absolute obligation to inform us.

[goclark]

131. There have been at least 50 threads discussing

the fact that he is drunk AGAIN.

That he was not off the wagon physically, just mentally.

This is not new News to DU, it is not new News to the Phony Media.
They just are afraid to print it because it will go the way of the AWOL Documents.

[longship]

141. But if the Enquirer and Globe stories are true

The MSM had better damned get off the cans and start answering to truth and the citizens of the world. We cannot afford to have a president "in the can" and unstable.

[goclark]

147. I agree but he has been unstable all the time

Let's see how long it will take the Phony News to pick up on it.

They are just giving little hints.

The photographers have been doing a pretty good job but they can only do so much...

Remember all the crazy photos of Chimp and Annan at the WH?

Recall Chimp leaving the Katrina Night Time Photo Op with his shirt sweating all in the back?

He was entering Air ForceI all by himself. No one bothered to give him a clean of shirt before they let him enter that plane for all the world to see.

They have been hinting, but the whores won't question one thing.

[Vanje]

126. Walk! walk! Walk!

"I'd just walk away from all of this if I could. The price is too high!"

[walldude]

130. I don't want to see this kind of

Globe/Enquirer crap in the MSM. Let's lay off the speculation and wait till he gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar, so to speak. If he is back on the sauce, eventually he will fuck up in public. No alchoholic can hide it forever when they are drinking.

[goclark]

150. Do a search at DU and you will find more info than the Enquirer

[Oilwellian]

152. He was definitely on the sauce at....

Kilgore's campaign rally the night before the election. It was painfully obvious with his slurrrring and exaggggerated southern twang. :D

[calimary]

160. That's for sure. We were watching while reclining in bed at the end of

the day. That clip of him came on with the drawlin' and the slurrin' and the sing-songy, good-ol-boy-tawkin' and the leaning all over the lectern as though he couldn't stand up by himself. It was astonishing! It made both my husband and me sit straight up in bed, and then look at each other aghast. It was on Olbermann's show, which we record every night. We actually had to roll it back to that segment and play it again. We did NOT believe our ears. We both asked each other - "did that sound drunk to YOU????" We both answered an emphatic YES.

Shocking and disgraceful!!! What would have been even more shocking and disgraceful, though, would be if he'd helped Kilgore win by showing up like that. At least THAT didn't happen, much to my relief and much to the credit of the clear-eyed, reality-based voters of Virginia. Obviously the old he's-one-of-us charm and the aw-shucks act are both wearing thin.

It was horrifyingly embarrassing. I felt embarrassed for him. And I don't often find much sympathy in my heart for that SOB.

[vogonity]

163. does anyone have a (working) link to this?

I would really like to see the campaign appearance video. I dont know if the canofun link earlier in this thread is to the campaign appearance or to that old wedding video. It appears that canofun.com is down.

thanks

[fishwax]

134. i saw that in the aisle at the grocery store today

awesome :rofl:

[Tom Joad]

142. Too bad the MSM also doesn't have the guts to metion...

"Sorry, no link is available, but I'm sitting here with the magazine in front of me. Too bad MSM doesn't have the guts to publish this stuff."

Too bad the MSM also doesn't have the guts to metion...
Bush's secret relationship with a young nubile martian. Whole lotta hanky-panky going on, and the martian in question is also turning Bush's loyalty from the United States to Mars. Expect no resistance from the US when the martians land.

Sorry, no link, but I have right before in the latest issue of the Weekly World.

Like the original post, not meant to be taken seriously.

[mwb970]

144. He can end our misery by resigning.

The sooner the better. Go back to Crawford and drink and clear brush. Leave our country alone!

[A Brand New World]

146. I saw that yesterday and just had to buy it. I don't normally read

those type of magazines/newspapers, whatever they are. But since it was bashing Bush, I said "what the heck, I'll believe anything you have bad to say about him". It was a great article. I believe every word!

[Walt Starr]

149. And I thought posting bullshit stories from CHB was bad!

:eyes:

[NightOwwl]

155. Aw...just having a little fun Walt!

:silly: :hi:

[Walt Starr]

156. So long as you give the story itself no credence

:hi:

[NightOwwl]

158. Well...I do think he's back on the bottle (that is if he ever gave...

it up in the first place.)

The Enquirer (which broke the story of OJ's Bruno Magli's...it is not the equivalent of the Weekly World News) has also run a story on Bush's boozing, so actually, I believe there is some truth to this story.

[Hyernel]

151. I look forward to...

...Merck releasing whatever Super-Mega Xanex Bush is taking just to get out of bed in the morning (early afternoon.)

Seriously though, Bush must be kept exactly where he is, so that he might do maximum damage to the GOP in 2006 & '08.

Somewhat less seriously....I sure hope he snaps on live TV, admits to a bunch of stuff, and implicates everybody beneath him; from Cheney down to that asshole, Grover Nordquist.

Hyernel

[NightOwwl]

154. Hi Hyernel!

Welcome to DU :hi:

[Hyernel]

159. Thanks!

Good to be posting...and not just lurking.

:smoke:

[wisteria]

164. Wow, and we all know that there is some truth in what these

tabloids report.

[grace0418]

167. The ONLY reason I don't think this is true is because

I believe Chimpy is a sociopath, and therefore unable to express those kinds of emotions.

[Swamp Rat]

169. Better reporting than the NY Times!

I think I'll buy that Globe issue instead of a NY Times. :)

[B Calm]

170. I think the crackhead is doing more than booze!

[robbedvoter]

175. here's the cover - for your viewing pleasure:

[NightOwwl]

184. That's the one!

:woohoo:

[catzies]

176. He STOLE THE JOB and now HE DOESN'T WANT IT.

Asshole.

[nadinbrzezinski]

179. Actually that fits him to a T

he tends to not finish what he starts

[x50600]

178. bubble

I hate to burst this bubble, but the globe is a tabloid. they have also been covering the late breaking news on bat boy, and the world fattest cat that can communicate with aliens. Sorry guys credibility is an issue here. Now if NYT says anything i will jump for joy, but its the globe...

[NightOwwl]

185. Hate to burst your bubble...but you are thinking of the World Weekly News.

Besides, you should be leaping with joy to see this on the newstands for everyone to see.

Even if no one takes it seriously, it's bound to make a few people start wondering if perhaps there is a glimmer of truth to it all.

[EVDebs]

180. "Unfit for Command" ....Kerry's alleged sins pale in comparison n/t

[Dunvegan]

181. I hear that it's hard on both of them...

[NightOwwl]

183. Bwahaha!!!

Good one Dunvegan! :rofl:
