Le pr\u00e9sident GW Bush s’est-il remis \u00e0 boire? Son attitude retrouverait assez classiquement celle d’un pr\u00e9sident engag\u00e9 dans une crise personnelle r\u00e9pondant \u00e0 la crise nationale qui le submerge. (Durant les jours du calvaire de Watergate, en 1973-74, o\u00f9 il \u00e9tait assi\u00e9g\u00e9 et cadenass\u00e9 \u00e0 la Maison-Blanche, Nixon avait pareillement sombr\u00e9 dans l’alcoolisme de diversion, jusqu’\u00e0 une quasi-indisponibilit\u00e9 \u00e9pisodique dans ses fonctions. La crise nucl\u00e9aire du 25 octobre 1973 fut en bonne partie due \u00e0 cette circonstance, Nixon \u00e9tant indisponible pour r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 un ultimatum des Sovi\u00e9tiques.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tLe National Inquirer<\/em> du 21 septembre publie un article de Jennifer Luce et Don Gentile. L’article cite notamment un expert : \u00ab Dr. Justin Frank, a Washington D.C. psychiatrist and author of Bush On The Couch: Inside The Mind Of The President’, told The National Enquirer: I do think that Bush is drinking again. Alcoholics who are not in any program, like the President, have a hard time when stress gets to be great. I think it’s a concern that Bush disappears during times of stress. He spends so much time on his ranch. It’s very frightening.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLe journal donne de nombreuses pr\u00e9cisions et cite des sources anonymes. Il s’agit \u00e9videmment d’une question personnelle dont les dimensions politiques sont \u00e9videntes. Une crise personnelle de GW Bush aurait aussi bien des effets politiques que psychologiques dans la crise nationale que connaissent les USA. Le seul fait de la publication de cet article est en soi une indication du caract\u00e8re fluide et insaisissable de la situation politique aux USA. The National Inquirer<\/em> \u00e9crit :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00ab Bush is under the worst pressure of his two terms in office and his popularity is near an all-time low. The handling of the Katrina crisis and troop losses in Iraq have fueled public discontent and pushed Bush back to drink. A Washington source said: The sad fact is that he has been sneaking drinks for weeks now. Laura may have only just caught him but the word is his drinking has been going on for a while in the capital. He’s been in a pressure cooker for months. The war in Iraq, the loss of American lives, has deeply affected him. He takes every soldier’s life personally. It has left him emotionally drained.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb The result is he’s taking drinks here and there, likely in private, to cope. And now with the worst domestic crisis in his administration over Katrina, you pray his drinking doesn’t go out of control.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Another source said: I’m only surprised to hear that he hadn’t taken a shot sooner. Before Katrina, he was at his wit’s end. I’ve known him for years. He’s been a good ol’ Texas boy forever. George had a drinking problem for years that most professionals would say needed therapy. He doesn’t believe in it [therapy], he never got it. He drank his way through his youth, through college and well into his thirties. Everyone’s drinking around him.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 24 septembre 2005 \u00e0 07H35<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Le pr\u00e9sident GW Bush s’est-il remis \u00e0 boire?
