Has anyone else noticed this about Bush's gestures?
Whenever he refers to the US, he gestures to himself. He does it all the time. I noticed it again this morning.

When he talked about threats to the U.S., he gestured to himself with both hands. I'm no psychologist, but that seems odd to me. It's almost like he's equating himself with the United States.

Anyway, if any past presidents or public officials do that, I'd love to know. I've never noticed it in anyone else.

4. You know who McClellan gestures like?

Cheney. Cheney makes that same "little weiner" gesture whenever he tries to speak precisely.

8. "L'estat c'est moi"
Napoleon's famous saying--Now we have a crazy who thinks he's Napoleon--and he's got the football.

Madeleine Albright said this morning," well, you can't just go bombing at random..."

Unless you're Bush!
