Please, Folks, Consider the Source

A number of blogging opponents of George W. Bush are gleefully proclaiming that the President has resumed the alcohol he swore off back around his fortieth birthday.

It's legitimate for people to oppose the President on all sorts of subjects. But, in the rush to always think the worst of Bush, some are grasping at straws.

Remember that the source of these reports about the President is a scurrilous rag with zero credibility and a penchant for sensationalism.

Oppose the President (or any other political figure) if you wish. But do it based on the facts, please!

Thank you, Tamar, for your visit and your comment.

As you say, there are ample reasons for opposing the President's policies, proposals, and leadership.

But playing on these rumors culled from a rag is, in my estimation, over the line.

I completely agree Mark. It doesn't pass the "sniff test" for me, and therefore it remains off my blog. Until there's evidence or "truth" to it, it stays off. Besides--I fell it's also a personal thing (for now), even if he is "back on the sauce".

To me to be opposed to Bush and to post this rumor (because that's all it can claim to be right now) is the same as the Far Right using the BJ issue with Clinton/Lewinsky. There's far better reasons to go after Bush.
