"Screw it. Ah'm off the wagon an' lovin' it."

While attending APEC in Lima, Bush partakes of a traditional Peruvian drink known as a "Pisco Sour" (leave your puns in comments).  The ingredients?

2 oz pisco brandy
1 oz lime juice
1/4 oz simple syrup
1/2 egg white
1 dash Angostura® bitters

And it shows:

I've always said that he's the guy I'd most like to have a pisco sour with.

[Dinah]

Ol' W would be shocked if he knew how tight the traditional ties are with this excellent drink to one of his least favorite U.S. cities: San Francisco!

oooooh, an *atrios* link!

It's also possible they made him a virgin pisco sour, isn't it? I have never been happier to see a presidential term end, but can we please consider a few alternatives here?

[susanp]

not many things can get you AS drunk, AS fast as a Pisco sour. take my word for it.

[mark]

No matter how much you moonshine a turd, it's still a drunken turd.

[David Ehrenstein]

It's perfectly obvious that he never gave up drinking. Remember the pretzel incident? Add to that the number of occasions when Dubbya looked better in the afternoon (after the make-up men got to hiim) than in the morning.

Somebody get George to an AA meeting.

[Lefty]

Hook: No one except for Tristan at 4:18 (a bit over an hour before you).

Pisco sours are sweet, delicious, and deadly. You hardly taste the alchohol but it only takes a couple to get really faced. A recovering alchoholic's worst nightmare. That said, anyone who thinks Bush didn't fall fully off the wagon several years ago hasn't been paying attention.

Have fun with it, you dorks. After a year of Obama, you'll all be lucky to afford a bottle of Ripple without your government handout.

Losers!

[Pasquin]

The commenters to this site are a group of pathetic hate-mongering, saliva-spraying, dim-witted, foul-mouthed shit-heads, compared to whom W, whatever his IQ, is bright.

[Darnell]

Stupid fucking asshole. Thanks for forcing us to endure 8 years without a functioning executive just because Daddy didn't hold you enough.

Stupid fucking prick. Now go away and get some ugly skin disorder, ignorant fucker.

[UhhhDude]

[I've always noted that when losing a debate, said person or persons resorts to name-calling. A couple of commenters using epithets does not qualify as a healthy debate. At the very least, don't mangle the syntax.]

What I meant to say was, if W is that drunk, then Condi better not be in the vicinity. I'm just sayin'.

[Too scared to leave a name in this tank of sharks]

Even if you hate the guy, don't you think that having every liberal media source hounding you for most of eight years and even television shows devoted to making fun of you would send you to some addiction even if you didn't have it before? And those of you hoping it will get worse, seriously? You're that bitter and vengeful? He's lame duck now, he's almost a normal Joe again except that he'll have a security detail till he dies. Just let the guy live out his days; he's already stressed enough.

1/2 egg white?

Come on, Salmonella!

[zak822]

Bush was plotzed a few years ago at some event in South America. The video is still floating around the net. As are photos of Bush apparently so drunk at the Olympics that he needed a lot of help to make his way out of his seat.

Don't take my word for it. Google "Bush drunk" and see for yourself.

[Johnny Smith]

Awww. You love the guy. You'll miss him. It's so obvious. You're like dipping his pigtails in ink to get his attention.

You're all so cute!

[Georg Felis]

Amazing the leaps of logic a moonbat will take from a photo of the President with a glass to a full-fledged drunk. *sigh*

[Elspeth R]

Wow, get the spray the Trolls must have just hatched another batch...and boy do they STINK!

[dermot]

Here's a thought: maybe the problem isn't that Bush has been drinking over the last 8 years - maybe the problem is that he hasn't been drinking ENOUGH.... :P

Let's not forget Cheney's shotgun in the face incident. It's not just Fearless Leader who's fond of a few.

Now, let's all raise a glass to the heroic MSM: thanks for all your hard hitting investigative journalism since El Chimpo Magnifico ambled onto the world stage. Without your hagiographic coverage of the ape-man from Crawford from 2000 on we might now be living in a different timeline: one where the WTC still exists, where the US isn't a pariah, where 5000 US soldiers were still alive (along with 1,000,000 Iraqis), where the economy isn't on the verge of total collapse.

Yes, oh mighty Fourth Estate, you too will soon sit down to "a banquet of consequences". Ah, and don't forget to check your 401K account before you head off for Turkey this weekend.

Snark off.

[jleon]

The damage has been done. Picking on W now is useless. We need to be more concerned about the process allowing such an incompetent person as W to become a puppet President, and how to prevent this reoccurrence.

Various spheres of life take lots of time and money, therefore why must we waste life time for argumentative essay composing? It is easier to utilize some good essay writing service to purchase the term paper from, I think.

[Jenifferff33]

Term papers completing is not an issue you like? The essay writing services can be a great point to purchase sociology essays writing from.

I do really like your cool topic! Could you write the definition essay for example? Because I do really know that a professional essay writing service can create term papers of prominent quality.
