True, Kerry has proven himself, in both personal and "professional" life, at being an expert at spending other peoples' money. He should come right out and cite that as the main reason he'd make a good prez.

In point of fact, Bush rather famously choose alcohol over his wife. It’s a story he himself tells, and no big secret. Bush only gave up Alcohol because he found god...

Wow, you couldn't resist a troll like that, could you? Nice. Know any former alcoholics who've reformed? Do you make sure to sneer at them at least once every time you meet so they don't forget how magnanimous you are for forgiving them for their lapse?

Ms Harris,
You may rest assured that the only reason I am not swearing at you is out of respect for Mr. Weidner’s Bandwidth. You are both a knave and a fool. Also, you would benefit from expelling your head from your own anal cavity...

The simple fact is that an alcoholic pretty much requires the grace of some higher power to stop drinking. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that I’ve never known an alcoholic who tried to stop drinking for the benefit of a spouse who didn’t go back to drinking. If an alcoholic doesn’t stop drinking for themselves, they will pretty much not be able to stop...

No matter what you say, or think of it, the story of Laura sitting George down with her on one side and a bottle of whiskey on the other and saying “choose” is pretty much a matter of public record. The fact that he got up and took a swig from the bottle does not diminish his love for her, but rather demonstrates the power of alcohol. The fact that he only was able to quit when he became born again was a part of his stump speech for a number of years...

Ultimately, I disrespect Mr. Bush for a great many things. But the fact that he has over a decade sober isn’t one of them. Hell, the fact that he has over a decade sober is probably the single greatest thing he has ever accomplished...

You little creep. I don't care how much John respects you -- I don't. I CAN READ. You clearly wrote a vicious, and off-topic slam against Bush. WHERE WAS THE TOPIC OF HIS ALCOHOLISM OR ANYONE ELSE'S ALCOHOLISM IN THIS POST??? Then you have the unmitigated gall to say -- right below WHERE ANYONE CAN READ WHAT I WROTE, that I am the one who is somehow being insulting. Your attempt to pass off your nasty crack as being merely an attempt to neutrally discuss methods of alcoholism therapy DON'T FOOL ME.

Excuse me, John, for WASTING YOUR BANDWIDTH with this ridiculous fool. I guess I'm just not as NOBLE and GOOD-HEARTED as Mr. Cory.

George Bush has had one wife, an ex-librarian, whom he loved enough to give up the demon rum, something I have never been tempted to do, being the selfish bastard that I am.
right there in the post. "Demon rum" is a reference to Bush’s past alcoholism...

I can see where, if you hadn’t read that bit, you might be more than a bit mystified as to what my comments might be about...

Well okay, little boy, it's right there and I missed it! Happy now?

But your comment still looks like a nasty crack to me.

And by the way, if you bothered to read the referenced post on Scott Chaffin's blog, you would have seen that he was engaging in some mock "mythmaking" about Bush to counter and/or comment on the "mythmaking" (mock or not) about Kerry engaged in by yet another blogger. So your earnest correction looks rather silly in context.
