George Bush, the Alcoholic: Pt. 1

A health columnist/blogger for Yahoo! kicks off a five-part series on how, in his opinion, Bush’s untreated alcoholism is hurting the country. “Our country is like the family of an alcoholic, devastated by the drinker’s actions but powerless to stop them.”

Patrick Moore at Yahoo!:
