Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States

FingerbushBush’s obscene tirades rattle White House aides 
Article by Doug Thompson

While President George W. Bush travels around the country in a last-ditch effort to sell his Iraq war, White House aides scramble frantically behind the scenes to hide the dark mood of an increasingly angry leader who unleashes obscenity-filled outbursts at anyone who dares disagree with him.

“I’m not meeting again with that goddamned bitch,” Bush screamed at aides who suggested he meet again with Cindy Sheehan, the war-protesting mother whose son died in Iraq. “She can go to hell as far as I’m concerned!”

 Bush, administration aides confide, frequently explodes into tirades over those who protest the war, calling them “motherfucking traitors.” He reportedly was so upset over Veterans of Foreign Wars members who wore “bullshit protectors” over their ears during his speech to their annual convention that he told aides to “tell those VFW assholes that I’ll never speak to them again is they can’t keep their members under control.”

J-Walk questions:  

There's quite a bit of obscene language in this article -- which would be a lot more believable if Thompson provided a source other than "administration aides." Then he goes into the old recovering alcoholic thing and speculates that Bush may be drinking again.

There are lots of things to criticize in the current administration. Why does Doug Thompson bother writing an article with no facts to back it up?

I blogged it becuase I think the picture is great.
