Bush is Drinking Again

Blogtopia is agog over the National Enquirer's report that President Bush is back on the sauce.

See, for example, Art Pottery, Politics and Food (one of my favorite blogs, BTW)

Bush's Booze Crisis!

But if you've been paying close attention, Bush's drinking has already been confirmed by the MSM. In last month's Washington Post, Dana Milbank reported:

Bush's Media Barbecue: No Grilling
President Treats Press To Off-the-Record Bash

Sipping their Shiner Bocks at sunset (Bush drank nonalcoholic Buckler), many of the journalists were forced to acknowledge that Prairie Chapel Ranch is not such an awful place after all.

Of course, as any member of AA can tell you, there is no such thing as nonalcoholic beer. Non-alcoholic beer (NAB) is a slightly misleading term used to describe beer with very low alcohol content, usually 1/2 a percent or less. As a sober loved one told me when I asked him about Bush drinking Buckler: "That's not sobriety!"

Bush has certainly displayed the poor decisionmaking I associate with alcoholics.
