Bush "couldn't relate to women unless he was loaded"
>>Later an aide clarified his remarks saying Bush hadn't taken illegal drugs in the past 25 years.

Kelley says that the Bush family covered up scandals because of their wealth and influence. She claims George W started drinking at school and continued at Yale university to overcome shyness.

Former student Torbery George says in the book: "Poor Georgie. He couldn't relate to women unless he was loaded."

Another says: "He went out of his way to act crude. It's amazing someone you held in such low esteem later became president."<<

1. The highlighted quote is my favorite
I don't read trashy books, but I think this one is going to do major damage. How can it not?

3. heh, but then there's the ol' Shakespeare quote about alcohol increasing
the desire but lessening the performance...

So maybe Chimpy could "relate" a little bit, but not follow through?...

10. You mean from Macbeth?
"Lechery, sir, it provokes and unprovokes: it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance. Therefore, much drink may be said to be an equivicator with lechery: it makes him, and it mars him; it sets him on, and it takes him off; it persuades him, and disheartens him, makes him stand to, and not stand to. In conclusion, equivocates him in a sleep, and giving him the lie, leaves him."

Anyway, I can't wait for the book to come out! If there's one thing people love, it's dirt.

4. I have my copy ordered ...
and I am buying five copies when it hits the bookstores. One of my contributions to the Kerry campaign will be to get Kitty Kelley's book to number one.

19. I think this book
will cause some female Bush supporters to stay home on election day.

It is the type of book that could influence them when more substantive books are intimidating.

We could talk to them until we were blue in the face and would not have the impact on them this book will have. They may not want to vote for Kerry, but at least they won't want to vote for Bush either. This book won't sway the white male vote by even a quarter of a percentage point.

8. He doesn't seem shy anymore
I guess that means he's loaded all the time. It would certainly explain a few things!

16. If you look at him as I just did in this video..
he's all blustery but not really confident.


video of bush's "words" on the Jon Stewart Daily Show..

11. Maybe Bush could relate to America better
if he was loaded.

I'm thinking this book will make a great Xmas present for my very Republican father.

13. By "loaded" do they mean boozed up or rich?
I would guess both

14. 2 comments
why did Laura marry this idiot and does this explain they only had twins and no other kids? (she's dumb but not that dumb?)

a friend of mine has relatives who own a restaurant Bush went to before he got into politics. They said he was beyond loud, obnoxious, abrasive, a jerk, a heavy drinker, etc.

20. if he hadn't been born to a rich, powerful family
where would he be today? He'd probably still be drinking and in a gutter somewhere.
