Isn’t that the Ugga Ugga dance?

what exactly is bush doing? looks like he is either tripping or lunging towards a person with the intent of kissing said person, meanwhile everyone else is laughing. So again, I am very confused, what exactly is going on?

There are those who argue that he was on a bender during the olympics. This is reinforced by the photos of the secret service helping him stand up and a few other photos.

He was overheard saying, ” slip me some tongue young’un “, just prior to this photo being taken. I’d say the bender rumor was more fact than fiction.

Sasha, my wife owned-now one of my daughters does-a small town tavern for over 20 years, so she knows a drunk when she sees one. She can even spot-if she knows what a person looks like sober-if someone has had a few drinks

ooops, to continue. My wife says that to her he looks drunk. esp in the pic with him giving the “ok” sign. Now I lack her expertise, but in both the first picture of people helping him stand, and the “ok” picture, he looks like he is 3 sheets to the wind. Now granted, China has some booze that looks and smells like water but has one hell of a kick. Like Korea’s Soju, can’t recall the equivalent drink names in Japan and China, but they will get you hammered, quickly.

Ahem. After 35 years in Japan, I am quite experienced in the area of drinking. No need to go into personal details, but I would say that the Prez has had a few.

And that Chinese Mao Tai, it could substitute for Jet Fighter fuel. Wow!
