President Bush Visits a Pub

Gothamist doesn't care if the Reuters caption is President Bush "pretends to pour a pint of beer" at the Dun Cow pub in Britain. We just think it's irresponsible of Prime Minister Blair to take an admitted alkie to a pub full of sweet, sweet Guinness. PM Blair, didn't Laura brief you properly? We're sure she left the emergency numbers with you and left the pantry stocked with your favorite snack foods. And in the picture below, President Bush clearly looks pissed.

He looks absolutely befuddled by the way a beer tap works. Maybe it's just me. Again, another political orientation rorsharch (sp?) test.

Actually the second photo looks more like the men just popped into the toilet for a quick line or two.

you didn't pass up the perfect opportunity for the english/australian usage of "pissed". nice.

Am I the only one who finds it strange (and somewhat revolting) that our admitted alcoholic (convicted drunk driver) of a president and his partner in the crime of the century are cavorting in a pub looking ridiculously jolly considering the day's political news? How on earth is it supposed to help either of their popularity? Doorknobs.

Looks to me like two men with backbones in a country where so many have forgotten that "peace in our time" led to the largest conflagration this earth has ever seen. Of course, there are plenty of the same know-nothings in the US of A, as well.
