3. oddly, most of them were right away

I didn't catch any once he started in on his 3 promises/plans. Guess he was concentrating too hard on not laughing. Barely managed not to at the very end.

2. I noticed that, too. I was thinking cocaine or meth.

4. or he's channelling Mister Ed again,

16. wilburrrrrrr!!!!

dot's a gut vun!

and you hit it on the head.....looks like it did when they put something in a horse's mouth to make its jaw jiggle around

too funny!

6. When I used to take a lot of painkillers

my jaw would do that all the time. I think it has happened with speed also. He was definitely on something better than what he took for the debates. Blink! Blink! Blink!

5. I was busy and missed the latest from foolville.

Do you know where there is a link to watch or listen?

[Lethe]

7. yep i counted 14, must have missed one - nt

[cfield]

8. There were 2 halfs

that I counted as one, and another half that I counted as one because he started talking again in the middle of it. Still, that's a few too many for just nerves.

9. I got sixteen....

...they stopped as soon as the speech started to get back to his stump speech and his comfort zone of "terra", WMD (wtf?) and religion...

Yet another dreadful speech for Cokey McChimpster.

[MrTriumph]

10. I counted 13- it is all that made the speech tolerable

Here is the count: jaw spasm 13 times, "terror" 2, "evil men" 1...
"national security" 1, "HLS" 2, "9-11" once.

[Blue_In_AK]

19. I thought I heard 9/11 twice... n/t

[Fridays Child]

11. I'm gonna go back and watch with the sound off.

Looking for his involuntary jaw jerks.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

13. That's one helluva night you have planned out for yourself!

:evilgrin:

[Fridays Child]

15. I took a power nap and did some warmup exercises.

:smoke:

wish Id seen this thread when I posted!

[SaintLouisBlues]

14. His back teeth were floating

Needed a potty break

[Fridays Child]

17. I saw thirteen but they stopped about a third of the way through.

His meds must have kicked in.

[Blue_In_AK]

18. Ah, THIS is the post I was looking for...

I counted 16 myself, but I noticed that they decreased dramatically as the speech progressed. My guess is that somebody off camera next to the Teleprompter was holding up a big sign saying, "Mr. President, you're doing that jaw thing again. Watch it."
