George W Bush: from drunk to world leader
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/04/03/wbush103.xml

Oliver Stone's biopic of President George W Bush is to show him as a hot-headed, once hard-drinking man whose relationship with his father influences much of his life, including an obsession with Iraq.

According to an early screenplay obtained by ABC News, the film, entitled W, will chart the President's journey from troubled alcoholic to world leader.

It goes back to the President's drink-sodden misbehaviour at Yale, where at one point he loudly denies he plans to follow his father into politics.

At one point he also insults his father as "Mr Perfect, Mr War Hero, Mr F------ God Almighty", after being urged to contact Alcoholics Anonymous.

(end snip)

Well, I would say from drunk to getting booooooed at a baseball game. Not a world leader so much as an international war criminal.

9. When I was a kid grownups used to encourage kids ...




... by telling them "you could grow up to be President".

Damned if they weren't right. But in a different way than they ever imagined.

Shit-for-Brains proved without any doubt that absolutely ANYBODY can be President.

11. From drunk COKE-HEAD to world leader.
We've all known coke-heads, haven't we? They have an amazing ability to justify anything. ANYTHING.
