Governing under the influence

It looks like a day of links here at Thrown For a Loop. Ron Hart on how sobriety has falied our leaders:

So in summary, here are the leaders who do not drink: Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, all al-Qaida leaders, Hitler, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter.

By contrast, here are leaders known to drink: Winston Churchill, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Ronald Reagan, Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Jeb Bush and Jesus.

Perhaps the notion of voting for a president with whom you'd rather have a beer isn't such a bad idea after all, Reagan aside.
