9. He's actually beginning to look like her too!
I notice how particularly crazy his eyes were tonight. Beady, 1000-yard stare, just like Pickles. Spooky.

He did seem much more "up" tonight, but they still have to find a way to hide that angry voice "tell" when he's saying something he knows he's gonna get yelled at for.

4. He looked artificially perky
And he was using really strange hand movements, puppet-like. It was almost as if he was programmed. (Not saying at ALL that he was, just trying to give a visual here.) It was very strange to watch.

8. Actually he gets off on this stuff

Remember just before he announced the start of the Iraq war:

"I feel good"

5. The hula jaw was missing
He was pretty good. For Bush, that is. He successfully delivered his lies.

Waving his hands around and gesturing was a new tactic. Not sure what to think, it at least drew attention away from his simian face.

6. After the incredibly drunken slurring
of his radio address yesterday, he was remarkable cogent-appearing tonight.

I suspect a small dose of amphetamine was shot into him before the speech. His herky-jerky hand motions were worthy of a high school sophomore in his first debate team meet. Or a used car salesman trying to convince a customer that the car he's trying to sell them isn't really sitting there without wheels or windshield.

12. I didn't watch it either
I turned it on Fox to watch "Family Guy" but it was the speech. I turned it right away. Blah.

13. They actually have him overenunciate a lot to make up
for possible slurring. What's funny is when he overenunciates some words and slurs others in the same speech.

Listen to how he says "and." It's not normal.
