This is your president on drugs .....

Heh heh. Yeah, it's in The Huffington Post ... but it's still a fun read. And it does explain a lot .....

Kenny Ausubel: This Is Your President on Drugs - Politics on The Huffington Post

In a recent column titled "Soft Shoe in Hard Times," byline Washington DC, Maureen Dowd observed, "Everyone here is flummoxed about why the president is in such a fine mood... Boy George crashed the family station wagon into the globe and now the global economy." Yet he seems "goofily happy."

I have a hypothesis.

This is your president on drugs.

I first became suspicious after the famed pretzel incident. When Bush showed up in front of the cameras with the nasty scrape on his face, which he attributed to choking on a pretzel and falling off the couch while watching a ball game, there was wide speculation he'd started drinking again. At the time (pre-911), his ratings were in the dumps and Enron was crawling up his neck. Maybe the pressure was just too much for this known rage-aholic with an attention span of 15 minutes.

I soon noticed a distinct change in his voice and timbre. His speech had a flatline quality, a compression of peaks and valleys. His temper seemed tempered. He slurred a lot of words. His voice rasped with the gravelly sound of a permanent hangover.

I became convinced the president was on Prozac.

At lunch with a doctor friend last summer, for no particular reason I mentioned all this. He leaned in quizzically and looked me deep in the eye. He'd recently been chatting with a doctor friend of his who had been involved with Bush's European trip, and who wondered aloud about a strange practice he witnessed. Throughout the trip, the Secret Service bagged all the president's poop and pee.

Why would they do that, except to avoid drug testing?

The situation is more serious than it may sound. Jim Cramer, the MSNBC financial pundit and former hedge fund manager, was in the game during the 1999 bubble. He acknowledged that he and a whole lot of Wall Street traders were playing the market through anti-depressant lenses. Here's what he wrote about the irrational exuberance ramping up to the crash:

"Prozac and all those other drugs banish the 'This is the end of the world' thoughts. Which means you are not as anxious as you should be about an obvious downside."

Think about it. A willfully blue-sky president already disinclined to think about the downside, jacked up on antidepressants that banish the downside. Scratch those pesky "This is the end of the world" thoughts.

We need to demand the poop on the president.

Kenny Ausubel, Founder and CEO, Bioneers.

Throughout the trip, the Secret Service bagged all the president's poop and pee.

Oh man .....

The Huffington Post, a tome of noted writing and unbiased reporting. I don’t even consider it a tabloid, more like Hustler with out the pictures. She and Larry Flint might even get along pretty well.

When she ran against Arnold Schwarzenegger she made a big deal over her Toyota Prius

Neglected to mention anything about the sky blue Bentley Continental that she drives every day.

Arianna Stassinopoulos is my neighbor and she is actually really hot for 57.

No shit.

Read my first line:

Heh heh. Yeah, it's in The Huffington Post ... but it's still a fun read. And it does explain a lot .....

Next time one of the other jokers on this forum posts something from The Washington Times, they should do the same.

I read your first line, nothing was being explained, the child that wrote it can theorize or hypothesize until the next election there was no explanation only his moronic decrepit notion, which is in his ---------BB in a boxcar brain.

Just some crazy wasting ink, saying nothing.

Bjaarki · 05-11-2008, 02:45 PM

Boy, you sure lose your sense of humor when it's your ox being gored, SS. Where's that light-hearted jester from the general region of Polaris we've grown to know and love?

I just posted this for fun.

I think the prospect of the Secret Service swooping in to collect the President's ... excretables ... because they're fearful some cloaked spy would grab them up and see that they test positive for SSRIs is funny as hell. Don't you? It reminds me of the opening scene in The Last Emperor, only here we have a Boy President, rather than a Boy Emperor, in the starring role.

It sure explains a lot. And I'd rather have our president on meds than on booze, which was as everyone knows his former love.

I'm just sayin' .....

Anyone watch the opening night of the baseball season when he was on the ESPN broadcast of the Washington Nationals game? I was watching and I was stunned at how slow and outright stupid he sounded while talking in the booth with John Miller and Joe Morgan. I couldn't believe that he was the President of the freakin' United States of America!

No you didn't. You posted it as a troll. Just like most of your posts.

Bjaarki · 05-11-2008, 07:26 PM

What's a troll? You mean one of those big ugly bastards that lives under a bridge and eats billygoats? I "posted this as a troll"? WTF does that mean?

I swear, you guys get so damned grim when a guy jabs some fun at one of your boys. Even Solid goes from grinning Groucho to sneering Dick Cheney in 2 seconds flat. Shows pretty clearly just how calculated all this irreverent lighthearted "spontaneity" really is .....

Lighten up, guys !!!

Mickey, I don't think the President is stupid. If I had to guess, just on the basis of language skills and the conceptual complexity of the content of his speech, I'd put his IQ at about 110 or so. Probably right at the lower limit of the upper tercile of the population, or smarter than about 2/3 of the people in general (and smarter than 99% of the people who voted for him). So it wouldn't surprise me if some of the slowness and inarticulateness we see in him is a drug effect. Would that really be so shocking? JFK was on a million different drugs most of the time, so was Nixon. It's well within the realm of possibility that someone is spiking the Presidents Cheerios with Wellbutrin if you ask me.

I actually was not being completely serious, if I were I would have said I really would love to date Arianna Huffington. She short, exactly the same age as me, love her Bentley and as said super hot.

Oops

solidspine · 07-02-2008, 01:23 PM

Okay so he took drugs,

Frankly in his defense, \

he had no idea they were drugs

or illegal

and he certainly did not inhale.

solidspine · 07-02-2008, 01:24 PM

And he only took drugs while drinking but never driving,

only flying.
