BUSH'S BOOZE CRISIS

By JENNIFER LUCE and DON GENTILE

Faced with the biggest crisis of his political life, President Bush has
hit
the bottle again, The National Enquirer can reveal.

Bush, who said he quit drinking the morning after his 40th birthday,
has started boozing amid the Katrina catastrophe.

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!"

"Laura gave him an ultimatum before, 'It's Jim Beam or me.' She doesn't
want
to replay that nightmare - especially now when it's such tough going
for her
husband."

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. Before Katrina, he was at his wit's end. I've known him for
years.
He's been a good ol' Texas boy forever. George had a drinking problem
for years
that most professionals would say needed therapy. He doesn't believe
in it
[therapy], he never got it. He drank his way through his youth, through
college
and well into his thirties. Everyone's drinking around him."

Another source said: "A family member told me they fear George is
'falling apart.' The First Lady has been assigned the job of
gatekeeper." Bush's history of drinking dates back to his youth.
Speaking of his time as a young man in the National Guard, he has said:
"One thing I remember, and I'm most proud of, is my drinking and
partying. Those were the days my friends. Those were the good old
days!"

Age 26 in 1972, he reportedly rounded off a night's boozing with his
16-year-old brother Marvin by challenging his father to a fight.

On November 1, 2000, on the eve of his first presidential election,
Bush acknowledged that in 1976 he was arrested for driving under the
influence of alcohol near his parents' home in Maine. Age 30 at the
time, Bush pleaded guilty and paid a $150 fine. His driving privileges
were temporarily suspended in Maine.

"I'm not proud of that," he said. "I made some mistakes. I occasionally
drank too much, and I did that night. I learned my lesson." In another
interview around that time, he said: "Well, I don't think I had an
addiction. You know it's hard for me to say. I've had friends who were,
you know, very addicted... and they required hitting bottom (to start)
going to AA. I don't think that was my case."

During his 2000 presidential campaign, there were also persistent
questions about past cocaine use. Eventually Bush denied using cocaine
after 1992, then quickly extended the cocaine-free period back to 1974,
when he was 28.

Dr. Justin Frank, a Washington D.C. psychiatrist and author of Bush On
The Couch: Inside The Mind Of The President, told The National
Enquirer: "I do think that Bush is drinking again. Alcoholics who are
not in any program, like the President, have a hard time when stress
gets to be great.

"I think it's a concern that Bush disappears during times of stress.
He spends so much time on his ranch. It's very frightening."

Barnega would have us believe :

" 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. "
.
But... DaviD has shown us that President George "W" Bush was
in California playing a Guitar and provided Photos to prove it.

Now that is a trustworthy source. That is the same "newspaper" that
gave us the story about a crashed B-17 having been sighted on the moon.
That paper is good for rolling into fire logs and not much more.

He drinks that hard liquor like a fish.Usually you can easily tell when
he does his Stupid Staged Photo Ops and his Stupid Staged speeches
(prewritten by somebody else of course,he couldn't even debate a nine

takes at least twice a day aren't helping him either. bush,the DRUNK IN

The Enquirer got their ass sued off 20 - 30 years ago.. so I think , if
it's printed, they have two sources they can go to court with.

A Maid, An Aide, The Secret Service, or Laura

Please note; The White House isn't touching this..

If they ( White House ) Did sue, it would be through a Proxy, The Good
Reverand Fumbletitties or something..

Hasn't happened yet..

You mean like the supposed photo of a B-17 on the moon? Yes, I saw that
article on the Enquirer front page in the late 1980's while at the
grocery store. Maybe they confirmed the story with Art Bell.

One of those Kooks,Art Bell or George Noory or that enterprise mission

B-17's must have air under and above their wings (it is the lift under
their wings and the faster moving air over their wings that gives them
lifting properties that lets them fly) and air for the engines and a
whole lot of other Earth thingys to even get off the ground and fly.

I have a certain old hard back book around here somewhere,I bought the
book at a Goodwill store about twelve years ago.The book was printed on
recycled paper like many books of the World War Two era were.If I
remember,the title of the book is Wild Blue Yonder and the book has a
lot of information about who was doing business with who during the
World War Two era.It is a very interesting book and has information
about many other things too.For example,a lot of people think Germany
produced the best steel from ore in Germany.Not true,the Briery range in
France had better quality of ore for producing steel.

I didn't see it, but that sure sounds more like the "Weekly World
News". In the late fifties/early sixties, yeah - that would have been
the Enquirer. But in the last fifteen or twenty years, the "front page
photos" of a B-17 on the moon, Clinton and an alien arm-in-arm chatting,
the "half boy/half bat" child born in Armpit, Alabama - that has been
the "Weekly World News" usually. Just the covers are great
entertainment while waiting your turn in a crowded checkout lane at the
supermarket.
