Is Bush back on the sauce?

E! (a sterling masthead of journalism, I know) is reporting that the Worst President Ever is off the wagon and Laura, upset by Bush’s new pro-alcohol stance, has moved into the Hay-Adams Hotel. Now take that for as many grains of salt as you wish but First Family marital woes have been rumored for a couple of months now. Also, as Jim Henley pointed out, the possibility that Condi Rice and Bush may be having an affair. This stuff is not new, but it is now officially in print (in something other than a tabloid) and out there for the world to see.

Now, I do not care about the condition of the President’s marriage or if he is banging the SecState. I am terrified, however, of an impetuous drunk occupying the Oval Office. And let’s face it, Bush was not doing a great job sober. I know the booze is not going to help matters.

If this story is true, it is a very big deal.
