"Can we tell them no?" Kissinger asked his assistant, Brent Scowcroft, who had told him of the urgent request. "When I talked to the president, he was loaded."

I just love the fact that Kissinger is using terms like "loaded." What would be a more 'presidential' term than loaded?

"When I talked to the president, he was plowed."
