Methinks you are slipping pretty darn low. GW's arrest years ago for DUI does not make him an alchi any more than Clinton's dope smoking (inhaling or not) makes him a drug addict.
Tell me, how does a father's DUI make someone more vulnerable to developing alchoholism?
Ah, c'mon I generally give the worst president in modern American history a pass. There is plenty I could be saying about him, and wouldn't have to make any of it up. But I'm afraid I'd be treated like a Dixie Chick since this is an international bb. Or that it would be interpreted as anti-American. Which I am NOT and that group is WELL represented here anyway.
But it is no secret he was an alcoholic (excpet maybe to you and Sean Hannity). And it is documented that alcoholism runs in families. The only question is whether it is genetic or environment.
^ I can see right now this is going to be an ugly election year with partisans relying upon rumor and personal character assassination. Such tactics are not becoming to you Seminole.
mv, it's been ugly since the GOP took character assasination, disrespect and partisan ugliness to a whole new level with Clinton. Conservative pundits haven't let up since and with their now powerful position in the media they are continuing their vendetta against the evil liberals.
Saying that, I will try to limit my criticisms of Dubya to his actions as president as I believe there are more than enough reasons to see him go back to Texas based on his (supposedly) sober years.

OK. Fair [and balanced] enough. And I won't bring up Kerry's purple heart for a hangnail, his mistress, or his divorce and propitious marriage to the ketchup lady. His leftist, gay and lesbian, tree hugging, anti-middle class, tax and spend voting record and agenda for America will be the focus of my commentary.

Kindof a sad reflection that her sticking her tongue out, makes headlines around the world when millions & millions of stick-thin displaced people all over Africa, don't get normally half the media exposure Jenna's received.
Then again, she's Dubya's twin daughter. If she sneezes, it will be on the evening news.

Getting back to the interesting business of tongues being stuck out at news reporters, the incident did get some flap from some quarters, but overall, was just as mildly interesting as Cheney saying "F**k you" on the Senate floor and Mrs Kerry saying "Shove it". These politicians (and their 22-something kids) should be doing more outrageous things, IMO. Just to cheer ppl up.
