In an exclusive interview with ABC News, President Bush said that if he didn’t stop getting totally housed on the booze, he probably wouldn’t be president right now. Hmm, maybe he’s smarter than everyone gives him credit for:

“I doubt I’d be standing here if I hadn’t quit drinking whiskey, and beer and wine and all that,” the president disclosed Tuesday to ABC News’ Martha Raddatz during an exclusive tour of the White House residence.

“I wasn’t a knee-walking drunk,” Bush said. “It’s a difficult thing to do, which is to kick an addiction.”

“Alcohol can compete with your affections. It sure did in my case,” Bush said, “affections with your family, or affections for exercise.”

Did he just say “affections for exercise”? I only say stupid shit like that after I’ve had six or seven Irish Car Bombs. If you’d like to see what the Prez was like back when he was on the sauce, put on your beer goggles and watch the video below:
