Bush gets loaded in Lima

By Libby Spencer

The attendees at the Asia-Pacific summit celebrated their comity with a round of Peru's traditional drink, Pisco sours, a drink containing a hefty 2 ounces of pisco brandy. As you can see in the photo, our allegedly sober, comic commanderer quaffed the cocktail right along with the rest of the merrymakers.


The media, ever the enabler, suggests that perhaps he didn't drink it or maybe received a Shirley Temple version. I'd say this photo should put that to rest. They all look snookered.


Think I'm reading too much into it? Let's review those Olympic photos shall we? Does this man look sober to you?




The sobering thought really is to consider we still have two months to endure of this presidency and the man isn't even bothering to hide that he's sailing three sheets to the wind half of the time. [h/t watertiger who has the recipe for Pisco sours.]
