Pretty impressive credentials for a president: "I wasn't a knee-walking drunk"

Now there's something to put on your resume to impress people. Maybe print it out and hang it over your desk at work. Bush: 'I Doubt I'd Be Standing Here If I Hadn't Quit Drinking Whiskey'
"I had too much to drink one night, and the next day I didn't have any," Bush said. "The next day I decided to quit and I haven't had a drink since 1986."
"I wasn't a knee-walking drunk," Bush said. "It's a difficult thing to do, which is to kick an addiction." While I give him credit for kicking his alcohol habit, I have to ask, where the hell was this story in 1999? The mass media was too busy making fun of Gore for "inventing the internets" to notice that the man who's ass they were protecting was an alcoholic and a coke-head. Of course that didn't stop them from making drunk jokes about Ted Kennedy, but Dubya was somehow immune from even casual scrutiny. But that's okay, because at least he wasn't a "knee-walking drunk." At least not that he remembers.
Cheers!
