(Updated) Oops, What's Bush Drinking?

Bushdrink

The photo above was included as part of this article on Yahoo News about Bush at the G8 summit in Germany. Funny, Bush was guzzling this golden, sudsy liquid on Thursday, only to come down with stomach problems on Friday morning causing him to stay in bed. I wouldn't be surprised if he had some problems with pretzels, as well:

Stricken with a stomach ailment that confined him to his hotel room, President Bush still met Friday with France's new president and prepared for talks in Poland on a new missile defense system. The president was already dressed when he began feeling ill in the morning, White House counselor Dan Bartlett said. He said doctors are keeping an eye on him but that Bush's illness — whether a stomach virus, a light touch of food poisoning or something else — is "not serious."

He stayed in bed to try to rest and recuperate, missing the morning session of the summit being held here of eight industrialized democracies.

UPDATE 4:00 PM: Here's another shot from the G8 in Germany of Bush and his beer:

Hat tip Think Progress.

Maybe it's become a sort of tradition for George W. to party down at the G8. Check out his expression in this photo from last year's Summit, and note the bottle of beer near him on the table:

That goofy look on his face gives him away every time.
And explains a lot of things... Sheesh!

How embarassing!
But finally caught doing what many suspected.
Imagine what a fool he is drunk.
Doesnt it look like the others at the table are just saying come on Georgie just have one more. Tell us about why we went to war again.
He is laughing all the way to the bank.
Him and cheney creep.

Looks like Tony Blair even follows Bush with the same drink order. I bet Bush even ordered for him, " He'll have what I'm having."

I might honestly take the chance of Bush being a better President when he's drunk...hey can't get any worse than Sober Bush.

So the President is having a beer,name one who didn't drink. Why don't you all just leave the poor man alone???

Because he is an admitted alcoholic who claims he quit drinking years ago.
