George Bush: Why Do You Repeatedly Injure Your FACE?

[Stephanie]

Would somebody please ask him this question? The American people have a right to know. He has a new scrape on his face, as of yesterday. Why???

1. WTF goes on at the "ranch"?????

Is this some weird Opus Dei S & M camp?

[Radical Activist]

80. Condi and Karl Rove "discipline" Bush for his mistakes.

Bush is the gimp.

[fertilizeonarbusto]

2. Crack has a tendency

to fly off the pipe when overheated, I hear...

[Cooley Hurd]

3. Because...

[InternalDialogue]

12. I love that Drinky Bird!

The only place I ever saw him was the animation on SNL many years ago. Is there more Drinky Bird anywhere? (Of course, he killed himself in that short... maybe no more Drinky Bird.)

[Cooley Hurd]

25. I googled "Drinky Crow"...

http://images.google.com/images?q=drinky+crow&hl=en

:hi:

[InternalDialogue]

97. Action figures!

We're going to be doing a little "dook-dook" re-creation every night here!

[Rush1184]

91. Anyone have a clip of that short?

I have not seen it in ages. Would love to get a copy of it!

[fromBrooklyn]

96. It's "Drinky Crow" by Tony Millionaire

An exceptionally talented illustrator who drinks with gusto; used to live in my nabe in NY. He draws a regular strip, I'm sure it's on-line somewhere.

Read the strip, the comparison with 'ole Drinky' gets even funnier.

[InternalDialogue]

98. Drinky Crow clip!

http://www.maakies.com/SNL/drinky.html

[mr_hat]

4. Makes you wonder about the covered up bits, hmm?

[FreedomAngel82]

61. It does

Interesting eh? I wonder what goes on too.

[AVID]

5. fits of repressed hatred of self

scratching of image in mirror

[NNN0LHI]

6. Seizure disorder. And who is that fat pig he standing next to? n/t

[bush_is_wacko]

68. That's Sharon I believe!

Maybe they just had a fist fight? I bet Sharon could take him! Actually it seems to me he is always with a foreign dignitary when he gets these boo-boos maybe they are all beating him up behind closed doors! The cut on the hand was when he was with Putin!

Then again maybe they are exchanging torture tactics demonstrations! Obviously their boo-boos aren't viewable when he is showing them his tactics!
:evilgrin:

[Kota]

7. Bulldog (Guckert/Gannon) gets alittle rough sometimes.

[blueheeler]

14. LMAO

You took my response!!! :rofl:

[emulatorloo]

8. Perhaps it is the handiwork of Karl Rove and Miss Karen Hughes

Perhaps they must punish him if he is not "resolute" or 'compassionate" enough according to their latest script.

[dbonds]

9. That S&M leather mask Gannon puts on him chafes

[Sanity Claws]

10. He also had a similar looking bruise on his palm

when he was in Europe a month or two ago. Sorry I don't have the link but it was posted and discussed here in DU.
Some of the above photos look like abrasions. The most recent one may not (not enough of a close up to tell for sure) and neither did the photo in Europe. The latter two may be the type of reddish looking skin alcoholics get.

[BrklynLiberal]

11. That is why they call it "falling down" drunk.

[plcdude]

13. because

he is suffering from seizures of some sort and is hiding his condition from the American public which is lying to us and should have been made known previous to his last election.

[Stephanie]

15. Why won't the press ask him this question?

It's outrageous.

[tavalon]

70. Oh my, have you actually seen real press?

I heard a rumor once that they still existed, but not having seen any real, live ones in so long (bloggers notwithstanding), I had begun to doubt their existence. Tell me please, where have you seen this rare creature?

[Rush1184]

92. They still exist, but are an endangered species...

[SpiralHawk]

16. Mars - Aries rules the head and face. Bush has his Mars

at 9 degrees Virgo in the second house. Aha, you are no doubt thinking to yourself right now: that means transiting Uranus is 180 degrees opposite Bush's natal Mars all this year. You are so right !

No wonder the cheerleader in chief is taking a facial bruising. But those head wounds (remember Massive Head Wound Harry from Saturday Night Live?) are but wee symbolic manifestations of a much larger process of bruising and shattering going on within Bush's unsteady and fragile yang psyche. Uranus (lightning, shaktipat, electrical current, shocks, reversals) opposing Mars (male, masculinity, yang, genitalia, aggression, iron, etc.).

Mars also rules Bush's Midheaven (the highest point in his chart is Aries0, so the transit of uranus to his natal mars also implies radical shifts and changes in his actions and status in the world. This would be visible stuff, just as the wounds on his face are visible (for those will the will to see, which obviously does not include the MSM, since they have repeatedly shown that they lack will and courage).

Uneasy rests the HEAD upon which the stolen crown sits.

[seventythree]

23. great quote

I was thinking metaphysically, also. Face -- that which we show the public, getting skinned. "lose face"

[LisaM]

17. "You are old, father William," the young man said,

"And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head--
Do you think, at your age, it is right?"

"In my youth," father William replied to his son,
"I feared it might injure the brain;
But, now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
Why, I do it again and again."

"You are old," said the youth, "as I mentioned before,
And you have grown most uncommonly fat;
Yet you turned a back-somersault in at the door--
Pray what is the reason for that?"

"In my youth," said the sage, as he shook his grey locks,
"I kept all my limbs very supple
By the use of this ointment - one shilling a box--
Allow me to sell you a couple?"

"You are old," said the youth, "and your jaws are too weak
For anything tougher than suet;
Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak--
Pray, how did you manage to do it?"

"In my youth," said his father, "I took to the law,
And argued each case with my wife;
And the muscular strength, which it gave to my jaw,
Has lasted the rest of my life."

"You are old," said the youth, "one would hardly suppose
That your eye was as steady as ever;
Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose--
What made you so awfully clever?"

"I have answered three questions, and that is enough,"
Said his father. "Don't give yourself airs!
Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff?
Be off, or I'll kick you down stairs.

[dzika]

21. I think he's injured both cheeks

or are those just old scars?

[Ilsa]

18. Condi was giving him a spanking and

she couldn't tell his face from his ass. (Oops! She did it again!)

[onehandle]

19. I knew a dry drunk.

He was always fucking his face and hands up.

Went back on the bottle eventually. Died.

[Maru Kitteh]

58. Probably wasn't really dry then, don't you think?

Or did the booze cause other diseases & it was too late?

[tavalon]

71. Kind of like Georgie Porgy

who also isn't a dry drunk anymore.

[Done]

20. Could somebody please get him some training wheels?

[truth2power]

22. Looks like, in that first picture he has a scrape on his right temple, too

Maybe just the way the light's hitting, but sure looks like an injury to me.

Isn't there a physician here who would hazard a guess on what's going on?

[Stephanie]

24. A closer shot >

Click on the link - picture won't post.

?x=x&dasite=MS_GINS&ef=2&ev=1&dareq=921361FC78373D1F3C831844DF2325B9A9C30E9B9B114CE8

[SiouxJ]

26. It's hard to walk and chew gum at the same time

you know?

We have a klutz running the country.

[FreedomAngel82]

63. That makes me feel so much better

/sarcasm.

Oy. No wonder we're in deep doodoo.

[mark414]

27. how fucking embarrassing

the "leader of the free world" doesn't even know how to ride a bicycle

[FreedomAngel82]

64. Thats why

he had to have that shot of him getting ready to ride a bike so he can up Kerry. :eyes: I wonder if he's going to go water skiing next.

[Omegaman]

66. OR how to

ride a Segway.  Isn't a Segway supposed to be super stable?

[Rush1184]

93. It was suppose to be impossible to fall off it...

but Bush proved them otherwise.

[ragin_acadian]

28. the redness around the cheeks and skin might indicate

alcoholism. an alcoholics skin is also prone to bruising and abrasion, which would make every little bump he takes to the face show.

but then again, he might just be spending a little too much time on the tower of power with jimmy-jeff.

[Lone_Wolf]

73. Cirrhosis of the liver can make people bleed and bruise easily...

The liver synthesizes some clotting factors. A damaged or dieased liver results in the liver making less clotting factors. Considering Chimp's history, I'd say this was likely.

[DeepModem Mom]

29. Imagine if Clinton had shown up like this constantly! The press...

would have been ALL OVER IT!

[Stephanie]

31. That's what I'm saying!

Where is the PRESS? Is the President walking around IMPAIRED, or is he hiding some kind of illness, such as seizures? We have a RIGHT to know and if we had any JOURNALISTS left on the WH beat maybe somebody would ask the question.

[Stinky The Clown]

36. Where's the Press? Why ... they're right up his ass ... see my rant ....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=1720058&mesg_id=1720058

[DeepModem Mom]

39. Therefore, missing a view of his face --

:)

[Mist]

99. We have "emperor's clothes" press - they only see what's NOT there

(statesmanship, sanity), not what IS there (total fu-ness).

[leftchick]

43. for days, weeks, months....

YEARS!!! :banghead:

[bpilgrim]

51. the M$MW are a laughing stock these days

no one defends them anymore, and yes even NPR has sold out the the almighty dollar.

peace

[FreedomAngel82]

65. So true

but since he's the "Chosen One" (as his mother said around the election on CNN) he gets a free pass.

[amazona]

30. "drunks fall down"

He's an alcoholic, that's what they do.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72

[Stephanie]

32. That is the simplest answer

And so most likely true.

[mopaul]

33. Siezures

from whatever serious mental ailment he has

[flyarm]

46. i agree with siezures!! n/t

[Gman]

34. Alcoholics fall down and hit their heads

that's one of the things they do.

[Stirk]

35. I'm 32 years old and I've never had a facial injury.

Well- that's not exactly true. I had my nose broken twice in fights in my late teens, but I assume the President of the United States isn't getting into drunken brawls.

Hmm... drunken brawls. Maybe!

[Catherine Vincent]

37. There's something wrong with that pic.

I know, Bush is in it. But look at the long line on his forehead. It looks like it circles his whole face, and the face within the circle is more pale. Weird.

[flyarm]

47. pnacake makeup..actors makeup!! n/t

[zippy890]

38. atrial fibrillation - makes him faint

and he probably has had a stroke which makes his face droop

http://houston.indymedia.org/news/2004/12/35839.php

explains why he can only handle about 2 hours a work a day

[hippiegranny]

40. Even if he EVER could have been considered handsome,

he sure isn't now. My god, he looks like HELL.

[im10ashus]

41. It is SO obvious!!!

Laura is the top and has been slapping him around again.

[Stephanie]

42. I had another one from January 2005 but I can't find it right now

If anybody recalls that injury, please post.

[i miss america]

44. Another closeup of the fugly bastard

Leader of the free world? God help us!

[Bouncy Ball]

100. He's VERY bloated in that picture, possibly from meds.

[DoYouEverWonder]

45. Looks like he broke his nose again too

Look how swollen it looks around the middle in the 1st pic. Or maybe that's from snorting all the coke?

[hvn_nbr_2]

56. Botched Pinnochioectomy

His nose looks really weird in that first pic. I don't know what a broken nose looks like. I thought it looked like he got a nose extension that didn't fit, or a botched Pinnochioectomy. Yeah, that's it, a botched Pinnocioectomy.

[Meldread]

48. Joke from the desk of KKKarl Rove.

Rove: "Hey, Dick what do you tell a 'President' with two black eyes?"

Dick: "I don't know Karl."

Rove: "Nothing, you've already told him twice!"

Staff members chuckle as Rove presses a button to buzz George.

Rove: "George! Get in here I need some more coffee!"

George: "But, Karl I'm busy playin' wack a terra-ist."

Rove: "Get in here now! Do you want me to take away your 'I'm the President' magic button again!?"

George: "No sir. I'm on my way."

[CoffeeCat]

49. I noticed the abrasion on the left side of his face--during today's speech

When Junior gave his pep talk to the soldiers, you could clearly see a red patch on the left side of his face, high on his cheekbone.

It's interesting. These deep abrasions always show up on the same side of his face, in the same place.

Obviously, he's doing something repeatedly, to cause these abrasions to appear and reappear.

It's easy to dismiss this as nothing but a boo boo, but how many abrasions have I had on my face in the past 5 years? Oh, that's right. None. Something ain't right.

This happens to Junior every few months. Possibly it happens more, and more seriously--and they hide him until he heals--and we never know.

Interesting riddle. In what activity is Junior engaging--that he's scraping the left side of his face?

[MADem]

50. The one with the bandaid on the right side of the face

...in 2000 was touted as a "boil."

This latest one looks like another one waiting to happen. Or maybe he should call Vanessa Williams and get himself some of that proActive stuff!

[KG]

52. rug burns

[Name removed]

53. Deleted message

Message removed by moderator. Click here to review the message board rules.

[leesa]

54. I think "admirers" fists keep running into his face.

[Jade Fox]

55. People frequently touch their face when lying....

Bush is just ratcheting up the reflexive body language to match the level
of his lying by actually hurting his face repeatedly.

That's my amateur psychiatric analysis. :o

[hvn_nbr_2]

57. So dumb he got the Dorian Grey contract backwards

Sitting in a closet somewhere, there's a picture of him looking younger and younger! I've noticed several times recently that in some pictures from a few years ago, he was actually a fairly handsome guy. He really looks like shit now.

[grasswire]

59. may I suggest...

...that we write the two most influential media observers and ask them to urge the press corps to inquire?

(Not you, Howie, sit down.)

I'm thinking Dan Froomkin at The Washington Post and Joe S? over at Editor & Publisher magazine. They've been herding the press corps lately. I'm not putting the e-mail addresses here because if e-mails come through DU linkage they'll discount them as "organized" -- horrors!

[Sugar Smack]

60. LOOK, you're RIGHT.. we DO have the right to know-

WHY the fuck is it the Leader of the Free World can't walk around upright like the rest of us???? On his feet? My God, I've had some clumsy days in my time. Once a month, I bump into things, trip over shit, and have things stick to me like Post-Its.

But I have never retained a scab from such encounters.
Which makes me- and you- better than George Bush.

[Omegaman]

62. Mom told him...

NEVER chew gum and walk at the same time.  Good thing he
wasn't eating a pretzel when these things happened.

[fleabert]

86. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[Rush1184]

94. I dunno...

Maybe it would be a good thing if he was eating a pretzel...

[golden voyages]

102. My sentiments exactly!

[tavalon]

67. Clearing brush is hard work!

Especially, when you're shitface drunk!

[DemonFighterLives]

69. Ariel had to slap him up

The money and weapons weren't on time.

[11 Bravo]

72. Munchausen's syndrome.

He's a dry drunk with deep-rooted feelings of inadequacy. Self-inflicted injuries among people with his particular illness are a cry for attention. After all, what must it be like to be the President of the United States, and yet still have to ask Karl Rove's permission to take a shit?

[CoffeeCat]

76. Ohhhhh...I would pay big bucks...

...to see Junior beating the living tar out of his mealy-mouthed mug.

A girl can dream, can't she?

[collin]

74. Maybe the removal of pre-cancerous lesions?

Or maybe he's a klutz?

[zann725]

83. The most recent one, others recently, and the 2000-one could be Lesions.

The others appear to be his biking accidents, pretzel incident...and other 'accidents' most likely arising from his unusually low heart beat/blood pressure.

Or he could be "sedating" again...

[yorkiemommie1]

75. banging his head against the side of his crib again

auntie condi, get the boy some bumpers!

[CoffeeCat]

77. Is it me, or does Bush look more like...

some kind of inhuman satanic creature, with each passing day?

He seems to be morphing into some kind of hybrid gargoyle/cockatoo.

[BuyingThyme]

78. Have you ever tried to bicycle while drunk? I have.

Everything jumps right out in front of you.

[aprillcm]

79. Drunks

Drunks often fall down and hurt themselves especially if they have been binging, I always thought he goes to the ranch so much because he is comfortable getting trashed there and knows there is very little risk of exposure.

[Lilith Velkor]

81. I think Laura beats him. n/t

[Matilda]

82. Laura sure packs a punch, doesn't she?

n/t

[raysr]

84. When he's sitting their

with Sharon his nose looks like a penis!

[lala_rawraw]

85. He falls down because....

Come on, anyone? Pick a substance any substance.

[Maraya1969]

87. I REALLY think the man is DRINKING

He is an alcoholic remember? I'm sure his aids keep him from being drunk in public.

Alcoholics relapse all the time. (I'm an alcoholic - sober for over 20 years.....since age 20 so you don't think I am old!)

I used to fall down while drunk all the time. I would wake up with bruises and not know where they came from. So have most of my alcoholic friends. When people come back from a relapse you very often see them looking all beaten up.

[Maraya1969]

88. OH and remember that alcoholism is genetic.....Bush twins?

[Catfight]

89. Pursey isn't aging well...that's one homely man. nt

[B Calm]

90. Husband abuse??

[frictionlessO]

95. Hey!!! Get Friggin' Serious About This Question!!!

Seriously, how many of us have had that many injuries to our face over 5 years??? I haven't had any in over 15 years!!

I have friends into all kinds of more extreme sports and I have yet to see any of them injure themselves this much. I know of only one facial scrape out of this group in the last 8 years.

My guess is, he gets fucked up and goes for a ride so he doesn't have to talk with people who might guess hes not exactly sober.

Thats all I can figure.

[Bouncy Ball]

101. It is actually a serious question and there's more to it than just

the facial injuries.

The only summation of a physical he had that is online (on the White House website) is from 2001, the first year he was in office.

THERE IS NO OTHER SUMMATION OF PHYSICAL FINDINGS FOR HIM ANYWHERE.

Nowhere. Oh they report his physicals now but that's it. No summation, like in 2001.

And in 2004, his physical was put off until December. Convenient, considering the election was nigh, eh?

He has a serious medical problem. That much is clear. And no one is asking about it. Whatever it is, it might be exacerbated and/or caused by substance abuse problems. And whatever it is is causing the left side of his face to go all droopy, it is causing him to injure his face repeatedly, and at least one of his meds is causing periodic bloating and swelling of his face.

Something is VERY wrong with him, no joke.

[Stephanie]

103. Yup. I'm not kidding, I really do want to know, and I have a right to know

George Bush works for me. If he is impaired then he should not have possession of the football. It's a serious question. What is wrong with him? And why does the press cover up for him? Is he drinking? If so then people must know, and I don't just mean Karen and Laura. If he is drinking then more people know than just his staff. If he is drinking then we have a right to know.

[frictionlessO]

106. Oh! Sorry Stephanie!

My bad, I wasn't saying you weren't being serious... wasn't even saying that to the posters on this here thread. Just pleading.. for I guess more of us to start pushing this question more.

Terribly sorry that that is how the post read off... nothing but love and respect for ya!

[Stephanie]

110. No, I am interpreting your post correctly. We agree!

It's a serious question. Why won't anyone ask it?

[frictionlessO]

104. A'yep and more...

This is serious there is no doubt. I mean maybe he does have siezures, maybe extreme dry drunks, maybe something else as you stated that is exacerbated by drugs legal/illegal. Wonder if he had some sort of minor stroke, or got a bite of some poison as well.

Anyway you cut it they are without a doubt hiding something in regards to his health. Maybe the whole pretzel incident was a cover up for something else?

So many maybes so little time.

And hey, how the heck is my favorite Bouncy Ball?:hi:

[Bouncy Ball]

109. I'm good, how the heck is my favorite frictionlessO?

:hi:

[Auntie Bush]

105. "Something is VERY wrong with him" Truer words were never spoken.

What medical condition would require that six-pack on his back?
What medical condition would make him pass out repeatedly?
What medical condition would make him lose his balance?
What medical condition would make his face twitch uncontrollably?
What medical condition would make him blink and contort his face like he was having an orgasm...that he wasn't enjoying? Maybe those wires on his back were connected to his penis?
What medical condition would make him forget the English language?
What medical condition would make him act like a fool?


Answer.........NONE! That's just the way he is...a twitching, blinking, unbalanced, stuttering stupid puppit...whose strings are all fowled up! Hey Cheney...back to work!

[Auntie Bush]

107. Not to worry. Condi has been giving him hickeys.

He lying when he says he falls. Maybe we should be asking, Where is Condi", the next time he shows up with a new red spot. I wonder if Laura is ever suspicious?

[Liberal In Texas]

108. "The first rule of the Fight Club..."

"...is never talk about the Fight Club."

[fromBrooklyn]

111. I'm going with Rug burn.

I was thinking about it, reading the other replies and I haven't fallen down (much less on my face) since I quit drinking competitively and I've spent years in the building trades - was less banged up than he is.

But it can't be from drink - so it must be rug burn. Now, how's he get it on his face?

[Fire Walk With Me]

112. He's just a Les Nessman fan
