I don't want anything from you, so n/a.
You never did that with a client? You never played neighborhood down to earth guy with the self-made developer, then shifted to rigid Episcopalian with the corporate lackey?
I've even pretended to be religious where the moment seemed to dictate it. Everybody does that stuff.

My sibling, as an expert in the field of speech says that there is certainly some cause to this affect, perhaps a stroke or more likely, in the case of a dry drunk, who was also a drug abuser up until the age of 40, and who never got treatment, a fall off the wagon. My other posit is that Cheney has his doctors hyping Bush up on some sort of psychotropic cocktail, which may be reacting to the booze as well.
Thoughts?

He's cooked and he's got a year and a half left. He's flailing.
They've gotten as much mileage out of W as is possible. The man was natively not born for this sort of gig (not an insult) and even he's beginning to realize it. Reagan and Bubba faked their way through the last wo years because they were great bullshitters. This guy can't do that. He's imploding, and the only thing he had left - that teflon arrogance - is even giving way. He's not drunk again, but there's no doubt he's been on pills for a while.

Go Dennis! Go Dennis!
ABC News' Jennifer Duck is reporting that Dennis Kucinich will hold a press conference tomorrow to announce the introduction of articles of impeachment against Cheney. YES!
I give Dennis a lot of credit to do this in the face of the corrupt media outlets like Fox and Dow Jones, which attack him mercilessly. This is a defining moment for a man who should be President (and sets him apart from Hillary, Edwards, Obama et al).
Unlike many in the establishment who are willing to wait W and Co. out, Dennis is stepping forward to do the right thing, despite the media attacks. I hope he stays this course and shows no fucking mercy on these frauds.
Also, please make note for your TiVos, Dennis will be on Bill Maher this Friday.

You called it Sebastian. The real masterminds here are Poppie Bush, Babs and Baker. They so wanted their golden boy Jebbie to be the successor standard bearer of the New World Order conspiracy, but good old Lawton Chiles fucked that up for them. So the Jebster was only 2 years into the governorship in 2000 and light for a presidential bid, and they went with plan B, W, the family’s drunken embarassment. Hasn’t turned out so well. Sort of like Poppie’s Presidency. Only worse.

What does this mean, you love Bush? If so, why? What is there to love? Can you not recognize evil and corruption when you see it? Do you love mass murderers and child molesters too?

- Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Matthew 5:43-48.

Poppie Bush isn't pulling that nitwit's strings. he wrote in his biography that going into Iraq would have been a disaster of exactly the stripe it's turned out to be.
Inside word is they barely speak, and Poppie's been beating W with the "Heavy Paddle" till he was bloody at every Skull & Bones get together since 2004.

Sebastian,
Don't be a dupe. W's puppetmasters plans may have been fucked up, but be clear, these fuck ups were not related to any independent thought or action of W, he has the capability for none. He is a frontman, a suit, for a criminal political autocracy, a crime syndicate, aka an Evil Bushian Empire.
If you know you're history, you know that Hitler wasn't the brains behind the nazis, just a convenient actor to lead the charge. Similarly, Jeb was slated by the crime syndicate to front the continuation of Poppy's malevolent schemes, but bad fate intervened and the Bush cabal was left with its weakest link, but they reckoned that his vast weaknesses would make him easy to lead and control.
What derailed those plans? Cheney. Why do you think Kucinich is targetting him?

to me, this helps build the exact persona you're going for with this sock, but you need to pepper more of this sort thing into the posts to really pull it off.
