Nixon "Too Drunk" to Help in '73 Crisis

From CBSNews:

Five days into the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, with the superpowers on the brink of confrontation, President Richard Nixon was too drunk to discuss the crisis with the British prime minister, according to newly released transcripts of tape recordings.

President Bush, upon being read this article by Condi Rice, said, "I'll drink to that! Now that was a great man."
