The Atlantic's October issue has an interesting letter to the editor that indicates Bush may suffer from "presenile dementia."
The writer is an MD who says that bush's declining debate prowess is a clear sign that he is getting worse with age.
Bush was articulate through his 40's. Now he pauses for big words and invents mangled new ones.
The writer indicates that it is the same basic affliction that struck R. Reagan but at a much earlier age. He states that bush's "mangled" words are a demonstration of what physicians call "confabulation" and are almost specific to the diagnosis of a true dementia.
He conlcudes with "...Bush should be be given the advantage of a considered professional diagnosis, and started on drugs that offer the possibility of retarding the slow but inexorable course of the disease."
Maybe it's something in the water at the white house?
