I wasn't aware that one was fabricated. How did you find that out?

There are plenty that come with video footage, and are equally pathetic.

The video is here. His stupidity is at approximately 23:18 (23 minutes and

There is no way you can possibly explain away things like this. And don't
tell me "drug out" was the Texan way of saying things.

The tummy ache excuse is way too coincidental to be credible.

The more extraordinary the claim, the more extraordinary the evidence
must be to support it. So please provide 24/7 video and brain scans
of GW Bush. His frequent odd public behavior can't be due to complete
sobriety or abstinence from drugs.

I'm sure you've seen the video:

So what do you mean? Chancellor Merkel didn't seem to conider it
appropriate touching.

With GWB, so many of his flubs have been recorded live, that I bet it'd be
difficult to find one that was fabricated!

And she was laughing as he was walking away.

The reaction looks to me like it was surprise (You can see this more
clearly in the video from CBS).

I am not going to second guess Bush's intent or what was going on when
it appears to 100% innocent.

People get sick all the time. His father became ill when he was visiting
Japan at one point in time when he was President.

There are many reasons why people get sick. Drinking is one of them.
Viruses and bacteria are others.

Sorry, I don't have a microscope powerful enough to see his brain. ;-)

Despite this, Bush says he doesn't drink.

Probably trying to be tactful, knowing she was being filmed.

But it was already well known on the previous day that President Bush
had been suffering from the flu. OTOH GW Bush had no cold or flu, his
tummy ache came out of the blue, and nobody else at the summit
experienced anything similar.

Nobody does. Nobody does.

I don't believe him. He just doesn't act sober enough.

Looks like we may need some desensitization training and consciousness
lowering workshops.
