The Final Days?

In Bob Woodward's riveting book about the final days of the Nixon White House, he paints a picture of a President heading severely off the rails. His legacy destroyed, his political career in ruins, Mr. Nixon was teetering on the edge of his sanity.
What are we to make of the recent events in the current Presidents life in light of this? We have rumors of chest-beating and declarations of "I am the President, you will call me Mr. President". There are photos of Mr. Bush drinking a beer. Although rumored to be non-alcoholic, this is a dangerous precedent for an admitted alcoholic. More troubling was his missing various functions at the G-8 summit meeting after this "non-alcoholic" beer episode.
Finally we have the following exchange from the weekend of June 9/10 in Europe, according to the LA times/Washington Post reporter Michael Fletcher.

"Responding to a reporters question in Rome on Saturday, Bush said a deadline should be set for a U.N. resolution on Kosovo's independence. 'In terms of a deadline, there needs to be one,' he said. 'This needs to come- this needs to happen.'
Asked Sunday about when he would like that deadline set, Bush seemed flummoxed. "I don't think I called for a deadline," he said. Told that he had, Bush responded, "I did? What exactly did I say? I said, 'deadline'? OK, yes, then I meant what I said."

Oh boy. What's next? If someone leaks any word of late night prayer sessions in a White House hallway between Karl Rove and Bush, we will know we have entered "The Final Days."
