Former president George W. Bush admitted in a recent interview that he was drunk when he met evangelist Billy Graham.

"I was listening to Billy through the haze of alcohol," he told Focus on the Family president Jim Daly.

The interview, which took place in Dallas last week, was broadcast on the ministry's daily radio program on Monday and Tuesday.
