Does Bush have a Sweating Problem?

[Jack_Dawson]

This isn't the first time I've see his shirt look like this. Is this normal? Might a more absorbent material be more effective?

[Stephanie]

1. Yeah, I saw that last night

The back was even grosser.

[cthrumatrix]

11. "flop sweats"....or from his "cola days"

[Javaman]

39. People who have a drinking problem...

Usually sweat more than the average person...

[Skidmore]

2. He has a lying problem. Bet if you hooked him up

to a lie detector, the unit would explode.

[Vickers]

3. Is that a photo from Ohio? I saw that yesterday and wondered if rain

was the culprit.

[da_chimperor]

5. It if was rain

I think he would melt.

[Kadie]

4. I have seen a few other pic's that show him sweating.

Icky....

Do you think he is nervous?

[Cocoa]

6. like Nixon

maybe why Arnold likes Bush.

[madrchsod]

7. no it isn`t

it`s called hyperhidrosis. caused by different factors but one is nerves...is george actually melting down????
check google for more info,,,,

[hlthe2b]

13. Could also be exacerbated by some medications......

Primary hyperhidrosis is genetic, but can be exacerbated by drugs, including Demerol (Meperidine), as well as ALCOHOL.

Secondary causes include
Hyperthyroidism (Bush family history)
Infections
Malignancy
Autoimmune disorders
Obesity
Menopause
Diabetes
Psychiatric disorders(hmmm)

[midnight armadillo]

36. Well, I think we can rule out two

George Bush is many things but he is not obese. He's not a woman either so I think we can rule out menopause.

[AmerDem]

8. It was rain

During the tv segment, he greeted the crowd and other people too were soaked.

[hlthe2b]

14. that makes more sense in these pics, given wet shoulders... but

we've seen other pictures lately that really show Bush's* dramatic perspiration, especially under armpits in a crowd who don't appear to be nearly so affected. ??????????

[AmerDem]

15. yea, i seen that.

The beer has to get out of the system somehow!

[rocktivity]

16. It must have rained on him personally, then

I just checked through the feed on www.cspan.org, and I don't see ANYONE in the audience acting as though they're getting wet. And that includes the camera lens.

:headbang:
rockation

[AmerDem]

21. check the end of his speech

He heads to the crowd directly behind him and it's there you can see folks that are wet. Perhaps it was a sun shower.

[skygazer]

26. Perhaps God rained on him

Perhaps it was akin to another baptism. Or maybe the Big Guy was trying to drown him........

[DS1]

9. All chimps do, this one just happens to be shorn regularly

:shrug:

[northstar]

10. LOL - looks like he was the victim of the bucket-o-water over the door

jam trick!

[Kazak]

12. Wow...through the body armor, and all!

That's something.

[ComerPerro]

17. I can't blame him, Anyone in his situation would be sweating

Imagine it:

You are a complete moron, you can't think on your own two feet, you have to memorize a speech that you will be giving in a few hours, you know you are going to have to go out and just lie your ass off to thousands of people who, despite worshiping you and signing loyalty oaths still might turn on you any day, if you forget your speech you know you will say something completely asanine that will probably be archived on thousands of websites and blogs (but thankfully, not anywhere in the news), and you are worried that you might be exposed as the total fraud that you are any day now.

Now, on top of all that, consider that you have been drinking and doing cocaine all night...


Yeah, I'd be sweating if I were in his shoes.

[dlviper]

18. He was just told about the Kelley "coke bust" and

the result was 2004 campaign "flop sweat"

[Hubert Flottz]

19. Sweating out the booze!

He's a Drunk!

[AlCzervik]

20. I'm assuming you're not being snarky

I wish it was sweat but it wasn't, it starting raining during his stump speech about speading the love.

[ILeft]

22. Sometimes he appears to be lactating. Seriously:

[Jack_Dawson]

23. Is that the same shirt?

[Lisa]

27. whatever that is, it ain't the milk of human kindness!

Remember how the press taunted Al Gore for "sweating through his tie", yet fawned all over W for being such a hard worker? (Also, given that he's supposedly a well-conditioned athlete who loves hot weather, e.g. "The Hundred Degree Club", it doesn't seem to take much to get him to sweat buckets ...)

p.s. can someone photoshop him into that deodorant ad, where the golfer raises his arms and the crowd faints from the stench?

[TeeYiYi]

28. Exactly what I was wondering . . .

. . . maybe he needs to give that shirt a rest.

TYY

[Catfight]

24. Did it rain? Because he looks deranged if it's not rain? n/t

[WI_DEM]

25. yeah, he stinks!!

[liveoaktx]

29. Want to gross out in a sweaty video clip?

sweaty

[skooooo]

31. Damn..that's gross...

No one else looks wet. Something is wrong with that chimp. Put him in quarantine.

[ILeft]

33. Gross is right. No hugs or pats on the back from that crowd.

It doesn't look like anyone was too anxious to even shake his hand. Yech!

[Jack_Dawson]

35. OMG

That happens to me too sometimes so I feel kinda bad for the chimp.

[tblue37]

30. Antidepressants also can cause heavy sweating. (eom)

[Geo55]

32. It ain't always rainin' on smirky , the boy is nervous

[RamboLiberal]

34. I seem to remember the wingnuts made fun of how much Gore sweat

I remember Gore's shirts would be soaked while he was campaigning in 2000 and I seem to remember some Repugs making fun of this.

Of course Gore was animated an all over the stage when he campaigned unlike * who seems to use the lectern as a security blanket.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

37. Maybe he was urinating on cars again and got soaked by the backwash

He is a big proponent of "Peeance Freeance" after all.

[Javaman]

38. He sweats more than Nixon...
