Hitchens: Be Grateful Bush Didn't Get Drunk on 9-11

Gee, I'd almost rather the president had a drink rather than HIDE all day. Then, when he returned, it's been one non-stop rich tax cut/war.

From Wonkette:

The NYDN peeks at Christopher Hitchens's Vanity Fair column and finds the Johnnie Walker enthusiast looking on the bright side: "That Bush did not surrender to the need for a colossal bourbon on Sept. 11 stands, I think to his credit." Right. So let's go to the official Bush presidency scoreboard. Pros: Did not get stinking drunk on 9/11. Cons: Started a war that has yet to be proven necessary.

Could you send that Johnnie Walker over our way now?

In the same piece, Bush purportedly calls his twins a pain in the gluteus maximus.
