Less amusing are some of the reminiscences and opinions of the Yale batchmates of the current US president. Ken White (Yale 1968) opines that "he [Bush] was the last guy you'd ever expect to see in the White House... My wife remembers him roaring drunk one night at a party with a date doing the alligator; that was some sort of dance back then when you fell to the floor on all fours and started rolling around. It's hard to see a guy like that holding the highest office in the land."
From Tom Wilmer, another Yalie: "Georgie, as we called him then, has absolutely no intellectual curiosity about anything. This guy has no concept of complex issues... He's a simpleminded zealot and-God help us all-he's now the guy with his finger on the button."
