For all those blaming the drugs, I have known many of University Professors to have been heavy in drugs, yet are as sharp as a whistle (are whistles even sharp?). Some people even attribute the drug use to their brilliance.
I highly doubt that a little coke here and there and maybe a one time drinking problem would make you loose your intelligence, especially while in a job that demands your critical thinking. When your brain is stimulated, it is less likely to deteriorate.
As far as the poster who said that the media made GWB nervous, I don't buy that in the least. Bush has always been known to be real relaxed with the media, even before he was President. All it takes, is to look at his demeanor in front of the camera to see that he is at home in from reporters. He casually jokes with them and takes a relaxed posture.

Interesting post. There is definitely a noticeable difference over time and another possibility popped into my mind while watching the video. Perhaps his tenure as president was so full of lies that his thoughts were muddled while trying to remember and stick to all of the lies.
Tell me, is this the work of an idiot... or a genius?

Actually, many would argue, including myself, that the lack of straight talk and fidgeting was because of the massive lies and secrecy. As far as him being in front of the cameras, he seemed to love it and would be relaxed in front of reporters. On the tough questions (which there was only a few), he would clam up but that was only because he had something to hide.

No offense to you, but I gotta LOL at the comparison of a frontier war hero to a cheerleader with a fear of horses. To be a "real" cowboy, you gotta walk the walk, not just talk the talk.
