Intellect, Pickled

Paul Steinberg, writing in today's New York Times, has an interesting parable on the subject of George Bush's intellect.

Even after longstanding sobriety this inflammatory response translates into a tendency to stay the course, a diminished capacity for relearning and maladaptive decision-making.

I thought the part about inflexibility of learning was particularly apropos - it explains a lot. Apparently the efficacy of exercise is less in humans, however.
