Bush's Very Bizzare Behavior at a Press Conference /Video

[Coltrane]

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2004/12/22.html#a1129 has the video:
from James Polling via AMericablog:

Bush is on a roll, then he suddenly stops, bends his head down, and mumbles something into his tie, then lifts his head and continues./He is in the middle of speaking to the press and he suddenly drops his head and mumbles something and then immediately continues speaking. It is seriously one of the oddest things I've ever seen.

Can anyone tell what he says? What the hell was that?

Does he have tourettes? Is he talking into his tie?

[radwriter0555]

1. He's TALKING TO THE TIE!

I love it....

[Rainbowreflect]

15. And I will bet his tie answered him.

[Lisa]

33. I wonder if it's the same psychedelic dazzly one ...

... that he tried to hypnotize TV viewers with, a few months ago? (That, or someone on his staff goofed and didn't test it on-camera beforehand.)

Will Pitt called it "George's Amazing Technicolor Dreamtie".

[MadHound]

2. He's telling the mic in his tie that he didn't understand the last answer

That KKKarl Rove just fed him, too many long words and such.

[tk2kewl]

3. that is weird

i think he is a possessed evil clown

[MsAnthropy]

4. How much more evidence do we need

that he is an incompetent puppet controlled by handlers, who tell him what to say? And no one in the media will mention it, I bet.

7. John Stewart would have fun with it

too bad hes on vacation this week.

[fryguy]

13. he'll pick it up....

he always goes back and catches the things that he missed while on vacation - especially really juicy things

[AllegroRondo]

16. Theres just been so much this week

I hope he has time for it all

[onenote]

5. looks like he just belched

how fun it would have been if he had barfed all over himself...

onenote

[EVDebs]

27. ...didn't he already stumble and bonk his noggin earlier in 2000 ?

Can't remember but he was watching tv football or something and tripped or something. Gerald Ford syndrome I think.

[texastoast]

6. Sure looks like he's talking to his tie

Gotta be a mike in there. Maybe he's shooting an aide a verbal finger.

[wicket]

8. Is he wired again??

[purduejake]

9. The idiot is cracking

And the real monster is just beginning to show itself... I really think he's going crazy.

[troubleinwinter]

10. Let me finish....

[fryguy]

11. gotta watch this

too funny

[plcdude]

12. he is replying to

the person speaking to hearing device who probably told him something and interrupted his "on a roll" response.

[Mandate My Ass]

14. My dog (on anti-seizure meds - barbiturates) does that

Other side effects include:

Severe drowsiness
Breathing problems
Slurred speech (ever hear a slurred bark?)
Staggering
Slow heartbeat
Severe confusion
Severe weakness.

[alfredo]

17. I think he said

beelzubub  

[allalone]

18. it sounded to me like he says "help me"

[underpants]

19. This is nothing-he was just throwing up in his own mouth

happens to drunks all the time.

[Lenape85]

20. Maybe the tie is his wittle imaginawy fwend

[Stew225]

28. LOL. eom

[IHeart1993]

21. Is he negotiating with himself? n/t

By himself I mean Rove

[Penguin31]

22. Here's audio

http://www.wku.edu/~seth.thrasher/bush.wav

Audio has been extracted from the rest of the speech, and slown down and had it's volume elevated to make it easier to hear what he said.

Edit: Make up your own mind...I still think it sounds like Freedom Fighter

[DireStrike]

23. Careful about that filename

When you're trying to figure out an unknown sound, knowing what it's "supposed to sound like" beforehand can taint the way you hear it.

[11cents]

24. It looks and sounds like he's shuffling some papers on the podium

Graceless, but big deal.

[DireStrike]

25. That's entirely possible.

But his timing and actions, especially together, are very strange.

[Delphinus]

26. How the hell can he stand there

and blame the insurgents for the deaths of innocents?!! How many innocent people have we killed?

[evolvenow]

29. Maybe he just got the memo .."You are not the President?"

[Politicub]

30. OMG! He's telling Condi - "Suck harder, Beotch!"

he's a dellusional freak, but he's occupying the highest office in the nation. Shades of Hitler if you ask me.

[efilon]

31. Betelgeuse EOM

[Cronus Protagonist]

32. He was just remembering Poland

He and Pickles usually do that in bed, though....
