It's a goddamn balloon being floated by Rove before the debates- if Kerry rips him to shreds, 'Oh, you're picking on a poor sick man' and if Bush holds his own it's another 'heroic' moment like throwing the goddamn first pitch at the World Series...
I heard clips of Bush vs. Richards on NPR and did think wow, he's gone downhill since getting elected, but accepting a diagnosis from a guy who's never met, much less examined, him is downright goofy.
Of course, if it did happen to be true, I can almost picture the Republicans deliberately running people with Alzheimer's, because they obviously make great statesmen. Aspiring first-term congressmen and ambitious lieutenant governors getting beta amyloid injected directly into their brains to improve their chances at the white house...
Both W & Reagan, hmm, at this point, I've got to wonder if there is some correlation between being a conservative Republican president and having Alzheimers.
