It then compares to his current bumbling rants and offers a unique explanation. For supporters and haters alike, this should give you some sense that Bush isn't a complete idiot, or at least at one time he wasn't. I don't think it's alcoholism or drugs. I think he's got a slow on­ set of Alzheimer's. The same thing happened to Reagan, and it was strikingly similar. When I heard Reagan say in a speech one time (I kid you not about this) that the Russians were trying to steal Christmas from us, that's what really made me take notice."­ [http://digg.com/users/skyshock21/dugg] »Exclusive: U.S. 'Torture Taxis' Make Regular Stops in Las Vegas...

» To the Victors Belongs Impunity:  Of Incorrigible Transgressors, Tacit Complicity, and Lady Justice's Conspicuous Absence. In this piece, I attack the blatant hypocrisy and farcical nature of the Saddam Hussein trials and death sentence.

At least until the Empire implodes. [Jason Miller]
