1. I gotta admit ...

If I was Prez, this would probably happen a good bit.

2. Contrast with JFK during Cuban Missile Crisis.

While almost all the Generals, Admirals, Congressmen, Cabinet Secretaries and CIA members were yelling at him to go nuke the Soviets over the missiles in Cuba, instead of getting drunk, President Kennedy stayed cool, calm and collected. And he figured out how to avoid World War III.

4. Nixon wasn't too drunk to make the decision to invade Cambodia

I mean he WAS too drunk, but that didn't stop him.

5. Been a lot of speculation about W hitting the booze again since his

last spill on the bike. Wonder if this is just coincidence in the timing of the release of this story? Let's face it, there are more books than you can shake a stick at comparing Dubya to Nixon out there. And as Randi Rhodes said the other day, the comparison might just be unfair to Nixon.
