And, he is screwing Condi Rice!

the President’s wife being secretly separated from him because, among other things, he is drinking again. Now the marriage business is merely titillating. I have no idea if President Bush and Secretary of State Rice are really sleeping together or not. I’d like to know because I’m a writer, and writers are incurable gossips.

But if the man who has the authority to launch nuclear weapons all on his say-so is an alcoholic who has gone back on the sauce because of the pressure of his job, that seems to me to be fucking news! The public has the right to know that. And from what I can tell this seems to be the open secret among journalists that some people claimed Valerie Plame’s real job was, something “everybody knows” but nobody is saying. A president who has claimed absolute power based on a couple of stray clauses in the Constitution and a couple of dodgy recent laws is an addict who has fallen back into his habit.
That seems important.
