She might indeed have medical problems such as a brain tumor or dementia — these symptoms can look like symptoms of drug or alcohol abuse.

I would guess a combination of alcoholism and stupidity. Recent milestones:

• Assaulted a taxi driver while drunk and aggressive
• Hotel calls police after she fell after being seriously intoxicated and behaving badly.
• Being spotted very drunk at various places
• Her own family says she is a drunk and they want to put her in rehab

Then there's this humiliating film:

Her ridiculous, off-topic drunken rant.

That’s quite possibly the most humiliating thing I’ve ever seen.

That video is hilarious. She’s just going to keep on doing this until somebody stands up during the hearing and says, “Senator I refuse to answer your questions as they make zero sense. I think you are highly intoxicated.”

I still say, though, that Ms. Ford should have a thorough physical and perhaps mental examination...if only to see just what her condition really is. If it is some sort of substance abuse problem and that’s it, then fine — rehab or whatever. But if her problems are organic, I would think she should get help before it’s too late. I don’t know the lady....but I just wouldn’t want her to end up as my uncle did.

But yet the people in her district keep reelecting her. Shameful!

Yeah, I could smell the alcohol fumes threw my monitor.
