i guess all of us screw up like that when we are drunk too, but fortunately are far enough from the microphone or camera for documentation. those are all forgivable.
the 2 best lines i heard during the campaign that decided it for me were.
Gore: "when i am your President, i promise to see that you are treated fairly at the "petroleum refilling facility"
Bush: "hey,, see that guy there... he's a major *******"

Now we know by G.H.W. Bush liked Dan Quayle so much. He reminded old George of his son!
Oh, well. Young George will only last 4 years, just like the old man.

whiteLightin, you're right. Bush hasn't touched a crack pipe in at least 10 years now. LOL.
I'll never have any respect for that drunken, coke-sniffing, walking malapropism.
Oh yeah. Gore sucks too.
It's just a question of which Wizard of Oz character you want to have for President: the one who needs a heart - or the one who needs a brain.
