No, how in the world do you get that she was trying to say that his drinking has "affected his decision making skills"? What she was trying to show was that...while he was partying back in his "glory" days...there were those such as Ed Meese, Antonin Scalia, Robert Bork creating a farm team of massive legal talent on the right.

She never upsets me. She makes me laugh uncontrollably. Especially when her readers can't read between the lines.
She - a conservative - is using Bush's drinking as the reason for something, in this case his skill at picking judicial nominees either because he wasn't paying attention or because it killed what few brain cells he had. Otherwise, why would she bring it up? He did lots of things in the '80s, not just party. He's owned a baseball team, ran failed oil companies, as well as other failed businesses.
So, why didn't she type, "While Bush was running companies into the ground" or "While Bush was making his biggest mistake ever, trading Sammy Sosa"...?
Or do you think she was just taking a cheap (even for her) shot, and there's nothing more to it?
