especially affecting his language and reasoning faculties and his overall intelligence? How much damage can heavy drinking over more than 20 years do to the brain? Do you have any other explanations for his general dim-wittedness and offensive behavior?
You can read about one of his behavior episodes here at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush#Early_life

Alcoholism is a serious disease that can have permanent consequences to the health and mental health of the alcoholic. While it is possible that the president has suffered brain damage from his alcoholism, it is more likely that he has suffered damage to his internal organs, notably his liver. Of more concern to his mental health would be any damage resultant from cocaine abuse.

Wikipedia is a very bad source. It has no content control, no serious editorial board, and anybody can post articles. If you have a grudge, what a better place to post your grudge? Post your propaganda in the guise of an encyclopedia article!
Leftie Loonies have been trying in vain to discredit our President who has done the best he can under unbelievable conditions.
Many high acheiving people had wild and crazy periods when they were in high school or college. So what. They grew up.
So stop buying into blatent propoganda.

i do think that being an long term alcoholic can affect many things including your brain. I have a grandfather who was an alcoholic and still is. he goes to dialysis three times a week and still drinks! either way he is going into a nursing home because he can't take care of himself anymore. he is only 70 but has degenerated to someone older. it is proven that alcohol destroys brain cells. really, any kind of long-term drug use can do that.
but as far as george bush, that could be his problem. it could also be that he was a rich boy and didn't have to learn anything because he could get by with money.

It is very common for alcoholics to have some form of brain damage resulting from their alcohol consumption. Alcohol kills brain cells, after all.

Well, at least it's a possible explanation. No one could be that retarded and still not have to ride the short bus and wear a helmet everyday without some kind of self-induced trauma.

Before people judge him maybe you should try to run the country then see how easy it is!! Just because I believe that he has made several mistakes, I also believe that he is the head of this Country and because he has the role, he deserves and demands my respect!! Oh yeah, and yours by the way!!!

He always make decisions while he was drunk. This is a way of escaping the responsibility of making wrong decisions all the time. Good luck, Americans.

Decisions are made by some body else - Pr. Bush only confirms them with his signature!
Do you know who is this somebody?
