1. Looks like Bush just asked the plant manager...

...if he could go TO the BAthRoOm?

[Duer 157099]

16. lol, and the second photo the plant manager

is telling him "...but if you can't wait, you can use THESE cans..."

[AllyCat]

23. Ugh...he's really invading the plant manager's space.

I'd be totally grossed out having someone (especially *) standing that close to me.

[Blue_In_AK]

45. Especially sweating like that - gack!

[Sequoia]

2. But it's hard work, that's why.

He probably just doused himself, or no, wait, he spilled his Billy Beer.

[maine_raptor]

3. Never buying/drinking Folgers again!

God knows where he sweated!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[CC]

14. I was thinking the same thing.

He contaminated the coffee.

[never cry wolf]

46. LOL, perfect!.....n/t

[JuniperLea]

4. He looks all wound up

on more than caffeine. Look at his eyes in that first pic.

[cybildisobedience]

5. Seriously, though...he looks bad

I mean, not only older and worn out, but sickly, sweaty bad. And also as if this is the last place on earth he'd like to be.
Bill Maher was right -- just go home, Bush -- this isn't fun for you anymore. You've already destroyed so much -- isn't it enough?

[gatorboy]

15. He does look sick.

Maybe he needs a vacation. :P

[DoYouEverWonder]

31. It's the ghosts of New Orleans

They are going to haunt him for the rest of his life. It must be especially bad the closer he gets to them.

[Stephanie]

35. Voodoo hex?

[DoYouEverWonder]

36. Whatever works

I'll try anything once.

[ClintonTyree]

6. Folgers sucks..........

that isn't coffee, I don't know what it is, but it isn't coffee. I grind ny own beans. Green Mountain......yum!

[Geoff R. Casavant]

7. Ummmmm

why is he the only one sweating? No one else appears to even be glistening, and he's got stains everywhere.

Also, should someone in such "prime physical condition" be sweating that much just walking around?

[rkc3]

17. And look at where he's sweating - his elbows and shoulders are wet.

I didn't sweat like that when I was landscaping my through college. And that's hard work. He's walking for Jeebus' sake. I don't care how hot it is in the plant, no one sweats like that.

[ClintonTyree]

18. He's with a Black Man........

he has reason to sweat. The bush's aren't exposed to them that much, only in photo-ops. The AA community is a little soured on bush right now.

[Stephanie]

19. It's his Kevlar vest - look at how he's sweating around the edges of it

[CottonBear]

27. It must be. He could still use an undershirt and some anti-perspirant.nt

[AllyCat]

21. It's the bullet-proof vest.

He looks really top-heavy in that picture.

Of course, I'm sure he's been working hard. I mean, he got off the jet with his sleeves rolled up ready to WORK!

[MisterP]

8. His shoulders are sweating again!!!

[troubleinwinter]

20. And elbows, too.

[gatorboy]

9. "He's a sweater,"

"and women don't like sweaters."

Wasn't that what the GOP was saying during the Kerry/Bush debates? I recall them wanting to raise the temperature in the rooms during those events to cause Kerry to sweat it out a bit.

[Bumblebee]

37. ya, real men do not sweat, do they? :)

[Lindacooks]

10. The Folgers Coffee Plant???

That's a strange place to tour - I guess that was one of the only places they could 'secure' in good bushworld style - that is, keeping out anybody who isn't a bush buttkisser.

[CottonBear]

24. The Port of New Orlean imports more coffee than any other US port.

Therefore, it makes sense to have a coffee roasting and grinding facotry right there. Mr. CB's cousin works for Folgers at that very plant.

[Lindacooks]

49. I"m not questioning the need to have a plant there. I'm questioning Bush*

touring it, when there are about a billion other places more relevant to the disaster and the response.

It says, to me, that there aren't a lot of enclosed places that his watchers can fully guard to keep the real people away from the boy in the bubble.

[freesqueeze]

11. Thanks for that first one

I love the turkey neck thing going on.

[Straight Shooter]

12. Amazing how he is always shown sweating when no one else is sweating.

Something is seriously wrong with his physiology.

I think all those "sweat" pics are beginning to turn the Repub ladies off. We know how dainty and refined they are :7

[Geoff R. Casavant]

40. Nah, I don't buy it.

A sweaty guy indulges their Lady Chatterly fantasies of doing it with the groomsman in the stables. Oh, how ribald!

[CottonBear]

13. What is wrong with him? It's not that hot. No one else is sweating.

Have his handlers not heard of anti-perspirant, undershirts and deoderant body powder? Not to mention, multiples of the same shirt so he can change?

What an idiot.

[truebrit71]

26. Couple those pictures with the ones of his drenched shirt after he was....

...done speechifying the other night, and I'm beginning to wonder if the man is seriously ill....

Heavy meds to combat some sort of ailment might explain his coke-jaw grinding thingy too....

Man, he looks pretty ill...

Who sweats like that....walking....??

[CottonBear]

28. His back sweated the other night. Did that sweat run down from his neck

and between the vest and the shirt?

[JanusAscending]

30. I DO !!!

I inherited it from my Father! There's no explaination for it! Been this way since I was a kid. Can't tolerate humidity!! I do know that "STRESS" will cause it , even when it's not hot and humid!!

[CottonBear]

34. Yep. Some people are sweatier than others.

I don't glow or perspire like other Southern ladies. I sweat. But not as much as Bush.

[tnlefty]

43. I'm not a glower, either. I just don't think that for all of the talk he

does about Texas, the TX heat, blah, blah, that he really spends that much time outdoors in it and I don't think that he's used to humidity.

Wonder how he'd like to spend 5 days on top of a roof with the temps. in the upper 90s and the humidity at 90+%, with no water? Or maybe 3 days on a roof and 2 days and nights on the frick'in hot, hard concrete?!

[CottonBear]

32. Maybe he's not used to the humidity. But still, that's a lot of sweat.

It can be really humid in NOLA but it's not as hot as it is in the middle of the summer. Something is wrong with him that they can't control or hide.

(Mr. CB is from NOLA, I'm from the South too and we live in GA. Believe me, we know all about humidity and sweating and doing manual labor outdoors.)

[Bumblebee]

38. I am sure the vest underneath makes one really hot.

[targetpractice]

42. Could be due to medication...

The medicine I take for ADHD makes me sweat easily.

[jackstraw45]

22. For some reason, reminds me of when poppy learned about Grocery scanners

During the 92 campaign.

"mr. President, coffee actually comes from BEANS."

Who here wants to bet that Dumbya has never even MADE coffee?

[jrthin]

25. That means he smells work. nt

[aquart]

29. Looks like Voldemort's head in the Sorcerer's Stone.

[BringEmOn]

33. "Damn...Juan Valdez has been workin' hard."

[MelissaB]

39. He is wearing a solid blue shirt that shows sweat more that the others.

He may want to plan what he wears a little better in the future. Oh, I forgot...he doesn't plan.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

41. "say, that's Colombian, ain't it?"

Ah memmreez.... meh heheh.. :D

[tanyev]

44. Did he rub that guy's head?

[TrogL]

47. Has he lost a lot of weight?

He does NOT look well.

[Lindacooks]

53. Yeah, he sure has a chicken neck.

To go along with his chicken butt, chicken soul, chicken brain.

48. Hyperhidrosis (aka diaphoresis)

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007259.htm

According to Medline Encyclopedia:

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which a person sweats excessively and unpredictably. People with hyperhidrosis can sweat even when the temperature is cool, and when they are at rest.

Sweating helps the body stay cool. In most cases, it is perfectly natural. People sweat more in warm temperatures, when they exercise, or in response to situations that make them nervous, angry, embarrassed, or afraid. However, excessive sweating occurs without such triggers. Those with hyperhidrosis appear to have overactive sweat glands. The uncontrollable sweating can lead to significant discomfort, both physical and emotional.

When excessive sweating affects the hands, feet, and armpits, it's called primary or focal hyperhidrosis. Primary hyperhidrosis affects 2%-3% of the population, yet less than 40% of patients with this condition seek medical advice. In the majority of primary hyperhidrosis cases, no cause can be found. It seems to run in families.

If the sweating occurs as a result of another medical condition, it is called secondary hyperhidrosis. The sweating may be all over the body, or it may be localized to one area. Conditions that cause second hyperhidrosis include:

* acromegaly
* hyperthyroidism
* glucose control disorders
* pheochromocytoma
* carcinoid syndrome
* cancer
* tuberculosis or other infections
* menopause
* spinal cord injury
* stroke
* Parkinson’s disease
* heart or lung disease
* certain medications and substances of abuse
* anxiety conditions

50. "I dare you to eat all of that."

[MoonRiver]

51. He may pass out soon.

His delicate pampered self can't take uncomfortable temperatures, or any of life's minor unpleasantnesses. :puke:

[Arugula Latte]

52. Wonder what stupid nickname the striped-shirt guy was stuck with

"Javaman"

"Coffeemaestro"

"Mr. Coffee"

"Beanie"

"The Percolater"
