Why was McGramps wandering around the stage all night?

[SallyMander]

I mean when Obama was speaking -- Johnny was all over the damn place.

And maybe i'm crazy, but it seemed like at one point Brokaw asked him to sit down??

[truthisfreedom]

1. He was trying to play the tough. He ended up looking like he was lost.

[Cronopio]

13. He ended up looking like Ozzy.

Except that Ozzy has a few more marbles.

[RevCheesehead]

2. I'm pretty sure he was looking for his slippers.

That's what my dad does.

[SallyMander]

6. Oh, my stomach!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[eleny]

28. Oh, me too! So funny!

I read here someone said he looked like he was lost wandering around a bus station. Oh my god!

[joop]

25. funniest line I've read tonight

Barked out loud laughing and thank you for that laugh!

[Bicoastal]

3. Nurse? Nuuuuuuuuuurse?!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

4. He wanted to present his flip-flops in walking form.

[FLyellowdog]

He had to pee.

5. I was just musing about that on another thread. Damn peculiar.

Obama respectfully sat still listening to McLiar's comments. But all of a sudden during one or two of Obama's replies, there goes McLiar, across the stage in the background. Wonder if he'd been coached to do that. Interrupt the flow. Weapons of distraction are the RNC stock in trade.

[SallyMander]

8. I was wondering just that

Was it planned? Or could he just not sit still? Really didn't seem like it could play in his favor, unless he really distracted Obama -- which of course he didn't!

[Overseas]

27. Restless Leg Syndrome? As a side effect of the many meds he must be on?

Just supposing...

[BlueIdaho]

7. Dementia is a cruel disease.

[chupacabranation]

9. Depends wedgie.

Incredibly uncomfortable.

;)

[SallyMander]

10. OMG!

:rofl:

I would like to give this whole thread a DUzy!

[Dem2theMax]

18. I'm SO glad I wasn't eating when I read this.

I would have snorted food out of my nose.

:rofl:

[Cronopio]

34. So "depends" wasn't just an answer ...

It was a code phrase to his handlers. ;-)

[JBoy]

11. I saw one moment where McCain did some wierd hand-chop in the background

while Obama was talking. Anyone else catch that?

[Doremus]

24. My husband saw it and asked what the hell he was doing.

Anybody's guess. Including the asswipe doing it.

[eleny]

30. We've got to find a video of that

[Bigleaf]

12. He looked like Vincent "the Chin" Gigante. All he was missing was a bathrobe and slippers.

[spoony]

14. He looked like one of those people during a live TV news story

trying to get into the picture behind the reporter. It's like he should've been on a cell phone and waving at the camera.

[SallyMander]

16. "Mom? Mom, do you see me?"

:rofl:

[Guaranteed]

15. I noticed that too- almost like he was trying to sneak up behind

Obama.

[Arugula Latte]

17. He thought he smelled pudding.

[ginnyinWI]

19. jumpy, on-edge, erratic.

He clearly can't handle the strain. Did they fill him up with too much coffee?

[SheilaT]

20. I wouldn't be surprised

if he isn't in constant pain, and moving around when you're in pain sort of helps. Not really, but it helps distract you from the pain.

[Johonny]

21. It looked horrible

that hands down cost him them debate more than anything else. He looked Grampa Simpsonish. Just terrible

[Jennicut]

22. He was lost people! Its obvious. He didn't know WHERE he was.

McCrap was soooooooooo old tonight. I really noticed that. Was Ronnie ever that old acting?

[Erin Elizabeth]

23. Lurching around like a drunk penguin for 90 minutes.

Not pretty.

[Cronopio]

35. A drunk, *constipated* penguin. nt

[CreekDog]

26. This is the equivalent to Bush 41 looking at his watch

[faithfulcitizen]

29. It was so odd- I always saw his backside, hunched over, I kept thinking "feeble old man".

It was bad for him. Though I must admit, it would be hard for most to share the stage with the likes of Obama. :9

[hvn_nbr_2]

31. Don't worry. He won't get lost. He carries a GPS tracker device.

All the ambulatory residents at the Alzheimers home wear one.

[johnaries]

32. He forgot which chair was his.

He had to wait until Obama sat down before he could tell.

[leftofthedial]

33. when he sits on those damned stools,

it impacts his farts

[johnaries]

36. He made a boom-boom and didn't want to sit in it.

Oh, I could keep on all night!
