Shame On Me! Shame On Me!

SHAME on ME! I am linking to the bloody National Enquirer! But, in my defense, so is everybody else! It is reporting that Dubya is off the wagon ... not that I don't blame him because Mr. President's destructive policies are finally starting to catch up with him. And the only reason why it is shameful for me to gloat is that thousands of people are dying here and in Iraq because of his poor decisions. So, yeah! I hope his ass is back on the bottle. Any real cowboy would be. As a matter of fact, he needs to take the same route we thought JR did in the series finale of Dallas! That or he needs to resign and go to the nut house where he belongs.

Family sources have told how the 59-year-old president was caught by First Lady Laura downing a shot of booze at their family ranch in Crawford, Texas, when he learned of the hurricane disaster.

His worried wife yelled at him: 'Stop, George.'

Following the shocking incident, disclosed here for the first time, Laura privately warned her husband against 'falling off the wagon' and vowed to travel with him more often so that she can keep an eye on Dubya, the sources add.

'When the levees broke in New Orleans, it apparently made him reach for a shot,' said one insider. 'He poured himself a Texas-sized shot of straight whiskey and tossed it back. The First Lady was shocked and shouted: 'Stop George!'

Bush is under the worst pressure of his two terms in office and his popularity is near an all-time low. The handling of the Katrina crisis and troop losses in Iraq have fueled public discontent and pushed Bush back to drink.

A Washington source said: 'The sad fact is that he has been sneaking drinks for weeks now. Laura may have only just caught him — but the word is his drinking has been going on for a while in the capital. He's been in a pressure cooker for months.

'The war in Iraq, the loss of American lives, has deeply affected him. He takes every soldier's life personally. It has left him emotionally drained.

The result is he's taking drinks here and there, likely in private, to cope. 'And now with the worst domestic crisis in his administration over Katrina, you pray his drinking doesn't go out of control.'

Another source said: 'I'm only surprised to hear that he hadn't taken a shot sooner.
...

Another source said: 'A family member told me they fear George is 'falling apart.' The First Lady has been assigned the job of gatekeeper.'

I agree with Laura. We need to STOP George!
