Cheers, Charlie

Strange how Charles Kennedy's admission of alcoholism should spell the end of his career while George Bush's history of drinking seems to be no barrier to becoming leader of the 'Free World'.

I think the trouble is that Charlie still has "issues" which GWB hasn't. If rumour is correct, GWB was quite a raver in his youth - tales of coke-fuelled Mexican excesses. But didn't all of us with millionaire fathers do things like that ? I know I did.

And I'm proud that America is a land of such opportunity that a reformed lush can make it to the top job.
