uhhh, mr. bush, people are starting to talk about your 'Coke Jaw'

[mopaul]

how can a man get to be over 50 and then suddenly develop a jaw grinding facial tic overnight? what's up with that mr. bush? hitting the ol' peruvian flake again are we?

or meth? or crank, or some other officially sanctioned stimulant or medication to control your coke seizures?

c'mon man, level with an old former junkie.

1. The President of Columbia

was one of the few visitors to the pig farm this summer. I think W developed the 'coke jaw' pretty soon after that visit. Must have been some fine stuff he's been tooting.

2. Tardive dyskinesia

Tardive dyskinesias (TDs) are involuntary movements of the tongue, lips, face, trunk, and extremities that occur in patients treated with long-term dopaminergic antagonist medications. Although they are associated with the use of neuroleptics, TDs apparently existed before the development of neuroleptics. People with schizophrenia appear especially vulnerable to developing TDs after exposure to neuroleptics, toxins, and other agents. TDs are most common in patients with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar disorder who have been treated with antipsychotic medication for long periods, but TDs occasionally occur in other patients as well.

3. cocainus jawgrindus

an excellent diagnosis!

[Infomaniac]

43. I wouldn't doubt Shrub's been on some medication

Some people who have personality disorders with mood swing symptoms are also prescribed anti-psychotics. His abusive drinking and illicit drug use were only symptoms of an underlying disorder.

[mopaul]

4. ratchet jaw kick

[LostinVA]

5. I knew someone who was into Crystal Meth in the 80's

When it was called "crank." Anyway, they did that weird jaw thing, too....

[charlie]

11. So did I

Back in the day when I enjoyed a pharmacopia of self-medications. The thing is though, you only suffer lockjaw when you're speeding, not after, not inbetween. Which means, our prez is possibly tweaking a lot. Which also means he's in danger of descending into psychosis, if he hasn't already.

[ladylibertee]

6. Well mopaul, I see you lighten it up. If it's any "CONDOlation" I liked it

[ladylibertee]

7. question

So, what's a coke jaw?:shrug:

[mopaul]

8. speed freaks often grind their jaws involuntarily

i know from experience. bush didn't start this particular facial tic till right after he was 're' elected

[ladylibertee]

12. Oh, Thank you

[LeftyMom]

51. He did it in one of the '04 debates too. nt

[DistressedAmerican]

9. Dammit MoPaul, You Moonbat! He Has Already Denied This Charge!

Please stop slandering our dear leader!



:puke:

[mopaul]

13. moonbat? i resemble that remark---and wear it like a badge of honor

like dan quayle used to spew

[DistressedAmerican]

16. As Well You Should! I Find The Term Kind Of Endearing!

Unlike troll. Nothing endearing about them!

[mopinko]

45. second that moonbat nt

[Straight Shooter]

58. Third that, here.

The moon is beautiful and bats are cool. ;)

[Hubert Flottz]

10. He must be hitting the glue bag 24/7.

Drinking Sterno, snorting Draino, and shooting the shit that cilled Elvis and chasing it with the shit that cilled Hank Williams.

The gluehead in thief is coming unglued faster and faster like the old snowball effect. Hitler did the same shit!

[bigbrother05]

14. My Dad use to do this

When he was really pissed off, or stressed out. This * guy has no friends, a staff that are just yes men, I saw we all say a collective prayer for him, to eat some pretzels. This is from stress, we have to keep the level of intensity up.

[mopaul]

15. it could just be stress

but he never did it before a few months ago

[charlie]

17. Hah

He's been doing it for a while, it's just become more pronounced. The fucktard just happens to be in the midst of letting a crutch turn into a full-blown monkey. He doesn't know how to pace himself, and with 3 more years to go, I expect we'll be eventually treated to the spectacle of the CinC having a psychotic episode in front of the whole world.

[bigbrother05]

23. That would be cool. n/t

[Skittles]

53. before a few months ago the press was still whoring for him

I believe he gets that jaw movement anytime he is questioned about accountability

[progressivebydesign]

49. He just started doing this. During the biggest stresses earlier..

there was nary a jaw grind. AND.. he was grinding before the Katrina crisis, when he was simply speaking. There's something going on with pharmaceuticals, legal or otherwise.

[tx_dem41]

18. Another fascinating point....

Anyone actually want to talk about the substance of the speech?...you know, the "important" stuff. :eyes:

[mopaul]

21. what substance? all i saw was posing

and grinding

[Maraya1969]

46. Do you really think that man cares about your home town?

Personally I think that NO and the rest of the hit cities are going to be built back bigger and better. Hurricane proof is going to be the name of the day when building again.

When we put new doors and windows on our house my X insisted on using hurricane proof windows - supposedly they sustain winds up to 120 mph or maybe higher. When Charely hit last year I watched it from my living room and those windows didn't move an inch. They looked so secure I was not afraid at all. I wasn't in the hardest hit part of the storm but there was definitely a lot of damage around me. In contrast my cousin was on the 9th floor in her condominium and she said the windows were actually shaking. And in one of the other storms the water got in and ruined all her carpet. If and when she replaces the windows I am sure she will spend the extra $ for hurricane proof also.

So you can rebuild. And it can be better. And I think it will.

[tx_dem41]

48. I couldn't care less if he does or not.

I appreciate your words of encouragement. Let me try to explain where I'm coming from:

Like it or not, he is the President and as the President he is the only person to have the authority to get federal money (which is imperative) down there. He is the only person, sadly, that can set the tone for this to happen. Sometime you just have to play with the cards you're dealt.

[ProfessorGAC]

27. Sorry. There Was No "There" There

Utterly predictable. No real commitment. Lots of "ought to's" and "we should's" but no explanation as to how and whom would be paying for all this.

Platitudinous nonsense in an attempt to halt the sinking balloon.
The Professor

[tx_dem41]

28. I agree that it could be Prof G....

but I didn't really expect that detail in a speech. I did want a tone set, and I actually think he was half-successful at that. I think the fact that in the "real world" more conservatives were pissed off by the speech than liberals should be telling.

[ProfessorGAC]

39. I'll Reserve Judgment On That

Wait until tomorrow or the next day and see how it spins to see who was more upset by it.

The true conservatives might be upset about the money, and the lunatic right might be upset that by taking the blame it makes their boy look bad.

But, the early returns are that most americans who watched, heard, or read the speech were essentially unmoved.

So, tone from someone who can't inspire the populace to action seems sort of irrelevant. And besides, what else was he supposed to say? "You're on your own. Tough luck. The Saints will have to find some other city to play in."? That's why is was dreadfully predictable and no solutions were really offered.

Not that i'm surprised. This crowd only knows how to get into trouble, not how to find solutions.
The Professor

[leftofthedial]

42. I don't hate you for THAT!

what was the substance you noted?

[earth mom]

44. What important stuff? Except for more spew from the master of disaster?!

ALL I heard was more lies upon lies! That's ALL it was last night. :eyes:

BTW: mopaul rocks!

[bpilgrim]

52. "the substance of the speech" - BULLSHIT

fyi

peace

[SpiralHawk]

19. Recommended and kicked

It's about time America knew the truth.

Since the corporate media won't tell it, it's up to MOPAUL?

Now we are really in trouble.

[mopaul]

22. sad indeed

i never wanted all this responsibility

[wordout]

20. gnashing his teeth preparing for his eternity in hell

Burrrrrn, you SONOFABITCH, burrrrrn!

:grr:

[mopaul]

30. it was noted that he wasn't quite as grindy last night, it comes and goes

even more disturbing. i bet they told him to knock it off cause folks were talking about it

[lyonn]

56. He was reading as fast as he could

He didn't pause long enough to "grind." It was difficult to watch the idiot but I was looking for those funny faces he makes and it seemed he kept the speed up to eliminate his problems. Notice no questions were allowed. That is when the real jaw gripping starts along with the blinking, smirking, chuckling that he learned from mom.

Off subject, but, this morning's prayer meeting in some cathedral was oh soooo touching, speaking so sincerely about god's willingness to help the U.S. and bush's manmade f.u. Did he mention feeding and watering the poor bastards? Couldn't watch long enough to find out if he personally felt a responsibility for making Sure the basic needs were met, even at this late date.

[JanusAscending]

64. I saw the service this A.M at the National Cathedral In W.D.C.

I found the service very moving.It was an ecumenical service in the Episcopal Church. The music was especially moving, and I broke down and cried when the multi racial choir sang "It is well with my soul" It's a very old favorite of mine. Regarding Bushes speech though, I'm ashamed to say that when I saw him go up into the pulpit to speak, I prayed for God to "STRIKE HIM DEAD"on the spot!! How dare that evil,evil man take the pulpit in Gods House for his excuses and lies!! I found it NOT MOVING AT ALL! Just phony and hollow and holier than thou! I'm beginning to think he IS one of the minor Anti Christs! The real Anti Christ is supposed to bring 3 yrs. of Peace to the world, and fool everyone with his miracles, even some Christians. Then after the 3yrs is up he shows his true colors!!! But I think Bush really believes he is the Messiah!

[Blue_In_AK]

59. Maybe not quite as grindy, but I noticed 16

which is quite a few for a 20-minute speech, especially because most of them came in the first 10 minutes. Somebody must have alerted him that he was doing it because during the second half he kept it more under control.

[leftchick]

32. I am inclined to think it is speed or meth

I believe the coke symptoms are more a clenching and grinding of teeth. Now the crank shit can certainly cause the jaw jerk we see in the chimperor.

Not that I have first hand experience in ANY of this. I am just a good observer. :)

[mopaul]

33. i agree, having tried both as a youthful indescretion

crank is what makes the jaw grind

[4 t 4]

36. Chimpy McCokespoon

not mine but thought it was so funny!

[Moosepoop]

35. Yes, but he has a good reason.

He needed the meth in order to stay up past his bedtime for the speech. Not to mention all that harrd werrk he's doing down there in NOLA with his shirt sleeves rolled up and all.

[Lucille]

34. Remember Clinton's lip biting

Mocked on SNL and widely derided by the punditry as a symptom of his supposedly faux compassion?

And yet no one in the media has commented on Bush's most visible tic.

Why, I wonder.

[hvn_nbr_2]

55. Corpwhoreate media

Not my term, I read it somewhere on DU. But that explains it. It also explains this anomaly:
Lies about sex. Lies to start a war. Impeach whom?

[mopaul]

40. koke kick

[earth mom]

41. Too funny!

:rofl:

Thanks!

[Virginian]

47. I didn't notice that as much as

The black square under his chin that looked to me like a piece of electrical tape.
I think it was a shadow, you know, the temporary lighting, but I could be wrong.

I also thought it looked like he was coming to us live from Disney World or Salt Lake City with the Cathedral over his shoulder.

[Gregorian]

50. Cokehead Cowboy

Come on. Someone can do this better justice than me.

Cowboy Cokehead.

What's it going to take to bring this criminal gang down? Surely we can't wait until Americans are educated. That may never happen.

Coccaine Cowboy.

Crawford Cokehead.

Shit, if New Orleans, and killing massive numbers of Iraqis and Afghanis didn't do it, then drugs certainly won't.

I'm really getting impatient.


PS- Nice animation!

[ellenfl]

54. oh, man, i missed it again! i just can't stand to look at him.

it's bad enough i have to listen to him. maybe i'll catch a re-run. yuck.

ellen fl

[garybeck]

57. extasy does that too....

[Kurovski]

60. Bush is on C-span NOW, Fri. 12:00 Pacific. He's "jawing"

up a storm while talking "at" poor Pootie-poot for a press dog and pony show.

I wonder if anyone will ask a kick-ass question?

[SpiralHawk]

61. I wish he would jawbone his Saudi buddies about the oil prices

Or maybe he needs to jawbone his Republican oil cronies.

Do something useful with that WHACKO JAW JERKING

[mopaul]

62. last night, no jaw jacking, today, jackin' that jaw like a nutcracker

suite!

[Boxerfan]

63. Bummer! His personal stash got intercepted!
