Bush's Swiv-O-Mandible™ on the wane, but another tic emerges

[Rob H.]

Okay, this is a completely silly thing to track, but I did--hey, I was bored and I can never watch Bush on TV with the sound on.

The final tally: 11 instances of Bush's jumpy jaw acting up, 40+ instances of Bush pausing, sticking the just the very tip of his tongue out, and then resuming his speech. I only started marking the latter about 10 minutes in. Maybe he was really is an alien lizard.... Hmm.

In retrospect, I can't believe I actually took the trouble. :silly:

1. Why WOULDN'T you take the trouble? It's a hell of a lot

less traumatic than LISTENING to him would have been.

Yes?

3. Ha! Good point

I guess I couldn't help taking the easy way out. ;)

2. I want to see him snag a fly.

Now, THAT would be entertaining!

4. Did he do that "walking pigeon head-bob" thing that

he did so many times during the debates, like he had an excessively-starched shirt collar?

I'd have LOVED it if Kerry had said, "Mr President, with all due respect, can you cut out the goddam pigeon-neck thing, please? It's getting distracting."

5. Didn't notice-- but he seemed to shift his weight back and forth a lot

I noticed when they showed the people in shelters in Biloxi, MS (they showed them on NBC, at least) there wasn't a single person there who looked as if they were buying his bullshit.
