I Want Spittle Pictures!!! Where Are The Bush With Spittle Photos??

[arwalden]

I missed seeing it because I was organizing my camping toolbox... so I just listened to the TV.

I want to see the embarrassing photos!! Post em here!

-- Allen

[sniffa]

1. i want em too

[Roland99]

2. Ditto on the spitto!

[Out the Parasites]

3. I want to see them too!

[progdonkey]

4. debate on C-Span Now

Look at the corner of Bush's mouth when he gets going...

[onehandle]

5. None are detailed enough on yahoo news....

...but this one is pretty wild.

[kcwayne]

11. He looks like one of those inflatable sex dolls

[arwalden]

6. Small Spitball Here??

(Left corner of his mouth. Or is that a tooth peeking through?)

[Roland99]

8. Don't see it.

The drool I saw was on the right corner of his mouth.

[arwalden]

12. I'm Just Guessing...

... it's difficult to tell, since I didn't see it happen live, I just picked a photo that looked like he had some "build-up" near the corner of his mouth.

-- Allen

Can you imagine if Kerry had had a spitball? The media and the freepers would be ALL OVER IT right now!

[RedEarth]

7. me too

[MetaTrope]

9. Maybe a hint of it here

[gauguin57]

46. Rrrrrraaaaagghhh .... bread .... gooood! .... rrrrrraaggghhh ...

... smoke ... goooood! ..... rrrrrnnnnaaaaghhhh ... friend. ... gooood!

[Catfight]

10. I know, some guy at work said that's all he focused on, I didn't see

the spittle. Bush's face makes me cringe anyway with those deer in the headlight eyes. His whole face is squished together and narrow. He looks like a bird.

[arwalden]

13. Whenever I Run Into Someone Who Does That...

... all I can hear is blah-bla-blah-bla. Their words are meaningless, because I'm just totally grossed out and fixated on their spittle foam.

(Oh god... please don't say any words what start with "P"... I've already had a shower today, thanks.)

-- Allen

[Edmond Dantes]

15. I know what you mean regarding his face.

He looks so stupid that, if not for his family connections, his career options would probably be limited to flipping burgers at McD's.

The sad thing is that honest Americans currently flipping burgers would undoubtedly have much better jobs, but for W's policies. Those people work real hard doing hard work -- unlike Shrub.

[zinsky]

37. He probably borrowed some Xanax from Laura!

A friend in Washington insists Laura Bush is a druggie, strung out on Xanax (an anti-depressant) most of the time. Her pop-eyed, glazed demeanor suggests that something is going on in the belfrey. I'll bet Laura slipped Georgie a couple 'ludes or Xanax to take the edge off and he was frothin' at the mouth by the time he hit the stage!

[Zuni]

39. I believe it

I have heard that Laura enjoys the soothing comfort of a fistful of pills

[Oak2004]

47. Xanax is a tranquilizer, not an antidepressant

It's closely related chemically to Valium. In larger doses the effect would be similar to being drunk.

[FlaGranny]

45. Not to mention that a good many of those

McD's burger flippers could probably do as good or better as president than the *.

[Edmond Dantes]

54. I wholeheartedly agree!

* has no skill/talent whatsoever.

[AP]

17. I saw it. It was as distracting as the annoyed woman during his closing...

...statement at the last debate.

[Roland99]

14. There were definitely some shots of the debate that plainly showed it

someone has to have a screencap somewhere .:)

[Roland99]

16. kick

[RedEarth]

18. he's a rat......

[donhakman]

19. That white speck on his lip was

just a bit of his medication that he didn't wipe away.

[Edmond Dantes]

20. Spittle may be caused by anti-anxiety beta blocker: propranolol

[omnithrope]

21. I disagree...

That wasn't an EXCESS of spittle, it was cotton mouth. I think he was just nervous.

You don't get spit like that in the corner of your mouth when you have excess spit... it was that awful, dry mouth, pasty spit.

[Edmond Dantes]

23. Hmmm

Doesn't nervousness lead to dry mouth?

I took propranolol years ago and was specifically warned by doc to be careful that I didn't accidentally spit on people while speaking. The drug did cause excessive salivation -- and made it difficult for me to follow conversations.

Ah, we are all entitled to our theories, but I think they gave him performance anxiety med.

That tells us something, in and of itself. He's lost all self-confidence. He's running scared.

[LeftCoast]

25. Propranolol is an anti-hypertensive, not anti-anxiety

It is a beta blocker though. :)

[Edmond Dantes]

26. Off-label use: performance anxiety.

Trust me on this (performance anxiety use).

[Jane Austin]

27. It works GREAT for performance anxiety.

I used to take it before I had to sing in public.

[Edmond Dantes]

28. Did you experience excessive salivation?

I did!

[Jane Austin]

55. Not that I recall.

But that was a while back.

[Stuckinthebush]

56. I take it

My nerves take over and I can't present well when I have to do large professional presentations. It is amazing...you feel no other effect except that you just don't have the heart racing fear that might make you go too fast or miss some points.

No spit though. If anything, I get dry mouth.

[Maiden England]

29. propanolol is an on-label, commonly prescribed treatment

for anxiety, especially that which is related to certain situations, such as public speaking or exams. It prevents tremor, excessive sweating and palpitations, or the outward physical symptoms of anxiousness, but it does not treat the psychological component. However, the physical symptoms of anxiety lead to a hightened awareness of ones emotional state. So lessening that, not only gives the appearance outwardly of a non-nervous state, but helps to calm the irrational fears associated with such manifestations.

[Edmond Dantes]

30. thanks 4 correcting my off-label remark & 4 general clarification

I took it some years ago and memory is a bit fuzzy. Your explanation is far better than what I could have provided, although I understood the general concept.

[arikara]

41. They used it for doping in sporting events

like archery and shooting because it keeps the hands from shaking. I wonder if they would risk giving it to him however with a resting heart rate of 45. It wouldn't do to have him keel over at the podium.

[henslee]

22. I'm eating.

[Roland99]

24. No pics?

[sherilocks]

31. This is probably phtotshopped, but worth looking at

for your opinion.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=1065306

[Roland99]

32. Photoshopped

it was nowhere near like that.

Just a little drop in the corner of his mouth but it was shimmering in the lights.

[WVRevy]

33. Actually...

....when he came out grinning like an idiot, and the grin didn't even SLIP a little for the first couple questions, I turned to my wife and said "Is it me, or does he looked stoned ?"

Cottonmouth....excessive grinning....disconnected with reality...short term memory loss......If anybody's got a pic of him munchin' some cheetos after the debate, i think we've found our answer...lol

[sherilocks]

35. Yea, also I think he was earing a red tie

last night, not blue. I'll keep looking.

[Roland99]

36. Ayup...red tie

Supposedly Laura said it was his "lucky" tie?

My guess is he drooled on his blue tie and this was a backup.

[librechik]

34. I think he's like Michael Corleone: he has a snot problem

because of snorting coke. Makes you produce snot, but during the debate you can't spit, so...nature takes it's course

[DoYouEverWonder]

38. Isn't spittle build up much worse than sweating?

They were accusing Kerry of being a sweater. I'd much rather have a sweater than a drooler. Droolers are really gross.

[Catherine Vincent]

40. Why on earth would you want to see something like that?

It's gross.

[Roland99]

42. To forward to Bushies who deny it was there

[Catherine Vincent]

43. oh, okay then.

[arwalden]

49. To forward to Bushies who deny it was there... AND...

...to generally annoy the Freepers by blazoning it all over the place.

[Maru]

44. From my website:

[americanwomanone]

48. I Think He's Rabid. n/t

[Roland99]

50. That's the best one yet.

I wish I had a way to get a vidcap.

[sherilocks]

51. Go here for a picture of right side of mouth spittle

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1067785

Post 44

Go here for a video and stop the clip to take a photo. But the running video gives a better view, because you see the spittle forming in his mouth. Yuk.

http://www.cspan.org/

[Roland99]

52. Do you know what the timestamp is when you can best see it?

[sherilocks]

53. About half-way through he gets really wet in the mouth

I just keep moving the clip along until * answers a question and then look for some good shots.
