Bush Drinking Again? Downs "Pisco Sour" In Peru

The Peru news agency Andina notes that President Bush was drinking a Peruvian cocktail during the recent APEC summit:

Peru has successfully promoted its national drink "Pisco Sour" during the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders' Summit, Peru's Environment Minister Antonio Brack said Sunday.

He noted that the flagship drink of Peru was well acepted by international guests, including Japan's Prime Minister, Taro Aso.

"Pisco Sour has been the "star" of the APEC Summit, the drink was served in several meetings at the Government Palace and the APEC Summit venue," he told CPN Radio.

...

U.S. President George W. Bush, who quit drinking at 40, was apparently drinking a Peruvian cocktail during a meeting on Saturday.

Pisco Sour is a cocktail containing Pisco (a Peruvian brandy), lemon juice, egg whites, simple syrup, and regional bitters.

Bush is pictured drinking the cocktail here:

Of course, the president often drinks non-alcoholic beer; he could easily be drinking a non-alcoholic Pisco Sour in this shot.

[Bigjonsey]

Well, at least he isn't snorting again...

[mozara]

Are you sure?

[Bigjonsey]

Come to think of it... He has been acting weirder than his usual self and with an extra hint of paranoid psychosis thrown in as well..

[Vinca]

BIGJONSEY: YOU BETTER NOT BET ON THAT

[oldindependent]

Don't count on it.

Remember the old saying: "Those CIA kids have the best drugs!"

[islanbatman]

Doesn't matter, he's over 21 and if there is someone who needs a drink...

[BushSunkOurShip]

It just shows Bush doesn't know what the word truth really means , and you never hear it from him..
But, isn't that typical for a republican???

[gnostic19]

having a dad who is Peruvian and having traveled to Peru, there's no way in hell there's such a thing as a "non-alcohol" pisco sour. Peruvians drink and drink hard.

[bibimimi]

I knew that was BS. There's no way Bush would sit there willingly drinking egg whites and sugar with bitters and lemon juice. Gross, man.

[mozara]

Americans wanted a president they would like to have a beer with... and they got one!

[Culturemaven]

Yes, and look how well that's turned out.

[rmreddicks]

They didn't realize that he never buys a round.

[pcmerry]

[flyingmonkey]

Are there any real news reporters left? Or just a bunch of idiots who make up stories about photos with no real information or facts to add? If he's drinking, find out for godsakes. This is lamer than the National Enquirer.

[Sunmaker]

He has to do something to forget the 8 years of terror he has put the Americans and World through! Hope he goes to the ranch and stays!

[RoveRoveRoveYourBoat]

...piss co! What better for this creapy slimeball

[joycehelene]

Who cares really, he will be gone soon and then only Laura will know how to deal with him. I figured that he had lost a lot of the few brain cells he might have had left. As far as I am concerned he can do whatever he wants, it doesn't matter if he wants to drink again, he was one of the worst presidents we ever had when he was sober and he couldn't be any worse drunk.

[mythster]

Much as U despise almost everything that George W, Bush has done and what he stands for, I wish him godspeed in his quest for sobriety. No one should wish another, even his worst enemy the slip that could land someone in the gutter.
Remember to "hate the sin(s) but not the sinner"

[daedelus]

You forgot "Jesus loves you".

[elr50]

Does that include over 4,000 U.S. soldiers and thousands of innocent Iraqies he murdered?

[boilinabag]

anyone remember the so called 'pretzel choke?' a few years ago? he was barfing because he was snockered! there are photos of him drinking alcohol in other photos too.

don't matter drunk or sober, he has been the worst pres in modern history. the damage he has done might never be fixed.

see you all in the soup lines next year.....

[AdamAnt12]

Are you saying that Americans will be in soup lines once Obama becomes president? HA

[ProgressDon]

Nope, just saying if McCain had won, you, Joe the Plumber and the rest of us will be in soup lines.

[RoveRoveRoveYourBoat]

...28-year­s of reaganomics caused this you simpleton!

[AdamAnt12]

Such hateful comments about President Bush. When will the liberal left get off his back? NEVER. Most libs are too angry and bitter naturally, and Bush is the direction they point that anger.

Too bad, I hope they don't do this to O. We'll see, won't we?

[grumpygranny66]

They're angry and bitter because, Bush made them that way. If Obama did the things Bush did we would be angry also. Fortunately, O is more intelligent therefore, we expect more from him.

[drewtom]

Oh so you're one of the morons who still thinks Bush did a good job.....fu­nny since there are so few left. You probably also think Sarah Palin was really smart? You betcha, she was a real good pick. LOL Oh well, after Obama fixes all of W's f-ups, your Republicans can hope to win in 8-years and nring a new wave of hate, and failed policies.

[teacake]

Yes. I think he is. There are still quite a few of them out there. They add 2 + 2 and they got 3 - just because they've been told by their master that's it is "3". These people have traded in their dignity for materialism and power - in a very shallow life.

[mitsie]

I always thought the far right were much more angry then the left. The left care about people, the environment, and animals. Hmmm guess I always felt the right cared more about money then anything else.....

[Vinca]

AdamAnt12: IF BUSH HAD DONE THE RIGHTS FOR OUR COUNTRY, INSTEAD OF THE WRONG THINGS, WE'D BE PRAISING HIM

[Vinca]

OH< PLEASE < PLEASE TELL ME THAT BUSH ISN'T DRINKING AGAIN< I WAS SOOO CONVINCED THAT HE"D GIVEN UP DRINKING< ANDS DRUGS MANNNNNY YEARS AGO

[grumpygranny66]

Why are you soooooo surprised? He is a Rethuglican isn't he? They are known to repeat their ev.il ways.

[gbht12]

That would explain SO much, but still no EXCUSE for BUSHIE. Even after I have had a few cocktails , I could never do the things he has done in the eight years of his presidency

[ReasonIsMyReligion]

Bush the Teetotaller hasn't worked.

I'm up for Bush the Lush.
