Not of Sound Mind and Body

[strredwolf]

I am now of the firm belif that David Letterman, on the Late Show, was not joking when he said "The President has passed his physical.  No word yet on his mental."

Several tapes of President "Dubba" Bush were released to the public by one-time advisor Doug Wead ( Washington Post report -- Google News search -- AP has the lead).  In it, there is somewhat of an admission to previous illegal drug use of Bush in his youthful years.

I belive that a good amount of drug use affects the brain's development and damages normal (within a range) functionality.  I won't be suprized if researchers have published data leading to that fact.

If Bush's statements prove true, that he did abuse illegal drugs, that would lead that Bush is NOT of sound mind and body.  I belive that is a firm qualifier for even running for President of the US.  A strong, fit leader is a requirement because of the stress of running the country can take it's toll.  If Bush is not of sound mind and body, everything within his "terms of office" is thrown into doubt.

It's not like a number of actions made during his presedency weren't in doubt already. Call me jaded or cynical, but even if his decision-making turns out to be questionable by reason of unfit reasoning capacity, I doubt he'll get more than a slap on the wrist.
