Does Bush Have New Dentures? What's Wrong With Him?
What's with the jaw-motion, jaw-clicking thing? Hard to describe, but it's that slight (but noticiable) side-to-side "unhinging" thing he does. Is it a new nervous tick? Or is it something I've never noticed before?

2. This is nothing new
It just seems more pronounced when his ass is on the line.

3. He can unhinge his jaw to swallow live prey bigger than his mouth.
A reptilian perk, you might say.

9. Oh dear,
in spite of all of this grim nightmarishness, that actually made me laugh out loud. (Also thought of the Halloween "Simpsons" where Mr. Burns gets the same attribute.)
Good one, Oregonian!

14. that jaw thing
There was a recent discussion about this on another thread;
many who seem to recognize the behavior, believe it relates
to drug use and/or deteriorating nervous system. Sounds about
right to me! Will post link if I find it...

5. I noticed it too...
During his speech yesterday he kept doing a sideways rachet of the jaw that I hadn't seen before. Maybe it's a nervous tic recently developed.

11. Seriously?
I really want to know. Are you serious? Or are you just having fun by taking (well-deserved) pot-shots at the jerk?

16. Stimulants make you clench
and grind your molars. You've gotta occasionally work your jaw for relief.

7. He's been doing it for most of the year
It's getting worse. He's really freaked, pissed, and annoyed right now.

17. Can you blame him?
His vacation was cut short by two days to have to go deal with some stupid storm in a city filled with people who didn't vote for him.

:sarcasm:

19. That is what cocaine addicts have after abuse.
Similar to Bobby Brown's chin.

21. How Can *Anyone* Take Him Seriously?
He wasn't that bright to begin with. He can BARELY read... and now the last remaining 1/3rd of his brain is showing signs that it's fried too.

BILL CLINTON WOULD NOT HAVE NEEDED "CHEAT CARDS". He could have spoken about this extemporaneously... with authority and confidence... AND taken questions from the reporters.
