The quote is from the current issue of Vanity Fair (August 2004), from an article by Christopher Hitchens (a famous imbiber) on the subject of George W. Bush's purported alcoholism. Hitchens suggests Bush might do better to drink a little more.

Hitchens:

"Above all, I think Ms. Laura keeps him in order. The twins are now old enough to violate local drinking ordinances on their own (Bush concealed his D.U.I. conviction for so long, he says, because he didn't want to set them a bad example), but their mother still stands between the little apples and the tree. A prominent senator told me not that long ago that, while visiting the president, he had complimented him on the desk photos of his girls. "You have children?" Bush asked. "Oh yes, Mr. President." "You like them?" "Of course, Mr. President." Without pausing, Bush said, "Mine are a pain in the ass." The impressive thing, said my informant, was the Aztec-like straightness of Bush's face as he said this. Perhaps he resents them because they can cut loose and tipple, and he can't. "Every morning Bush wakes up knowing one thing for absolute certain," says one who has known him, "Today is a day on which he will not have a drink."

Thats terrible. How would you like to have a dad like that?
No wonder they like to drink.

Such a good father. Geez. :rolleyes:

LOL!
