Left-wingers Are Getting Desperate

Okay, I realize that headline could have applied at many points in time during the last couple years. But now, I think they've hit an all time low in the desperation to tar Bush with <s>something</s> anything and everything, hoping something will stick.
There was the Enron "scandal" that they tried to stick to Bush. There was the Halliburton "scandal" they tried to stick to Cheney. There was the Plame "scandal" they tried to stick to Rove. There was the ethics "scandal" they are trying to stick to Delay.
And now, my friends, we have, courtesy of your closest left-wing friends, the National Enquirer drinking scandal!
Yes, that's right. The National Enquirer is reporting that Bush is hitting the sauce again because things are getting pretty dicey at this stage in his presidency. Of course, the National Enquirer has a tendency to get more facts correct than say, the New York Times, but still... c'mon, folks.
I saw this story floating around the blogosphere a couple of days ago and didn't think anything of it. The National Enquirer! I picture the story of Elvis Presley having an alien baby right next to the boozin' Prez byline for crying out loud. But driving around this morning, I was shocked to discover something...
Liberals are actually taking this story seriously and trying to smear the President with it! Can you believe it? They'll stop at nothing! I was flipping radio channels, and, as I usually do, decided to listen to the new liberal AM station (The Zone) for a few minutes to see what talking points they were screaming about today. Amazingly enough, they had one of the executive editors for the National Enquirer on the show and they were discussing - quite seriously! - the President's new drinking problem!
Their evidence for this story was, of course, unnamed sources who said the family is "very concerned" about this. They also cited as evidence the fact that the President passed out choking on a pretzel during a football game, the fact that he fell down while riding his bicycle last year (evidently Kerry is not a drunk, he's just clumsy), and the fact that he messes up during his speeches.
Honestly. I listened for about five minutes before I busted up laughing out loud. "You can't be serious!" I thought. I listened on. Oh, yes, they were very serious!
Laura Bush, you know, is going to start traveling with the President more often now to ensure he doesn't try and sneak any drinks while away from the White House. Well, I'm glad they pointed that out - now I believe them! Ha!
So here we have Exhibit A, your honor, of how far blind hatred of Bush will drive you. Maybe when Elvis' baby comes out as a three headed alien, they'll blame Bush for poisoning the environment, leading to these horrendous birth defects.
Such is the state of liberalism in America today.
...and the fact that he messes up during his speeches.
Honestly. I listened for about five minutes before I busted up laughing out loud. "You can't be serious!" I thought.
C'mon, that's ludicrous. He's been messing up his speeches for as long as I can remember ... he certainly hasn't gotten any worse recently ... TBH, I think he's been better recently ...
The Enquirer was serious enough a journalistic source to get a couple Anthrax Letters, lol ...
