Wow, on NPR? Their interviewers aren't known for taking those kind of chances.

An acquaintance has been sending this around for about a week. I wondered to him, Why assume pre-senile dementia? On this evidence, I could just as easily suspect that Bush was high as a kite during public appearances in Texas (helps with the confidence, gets that mouth motoring) but has to hold back on the self-medication in the White House fishbowl.
When you get right down to it, at this point it doesn't matter if they secretly wrap W in wet sheets every night and leave him screaming in that famous bowling alley in the White House basement. His mad (organically-driven or, more likely, not) policies are in place all up and down the federal government, and a culture of fear and protection has developed around them.
