Does this man (Chimp) look normal to you?

[Sparkly]

Is it just me or does it seems the muscles on the left side of his face are getting weaker? Cover up each half of his face, and they're completely different.

(By the way, he tried out for the cheerleading team today, too.)

[Skittles]

1. he is a sick f***

mentally and physically

[Neoma]

2. He looks like a regular sick fuck to me

[xultar]

3. In the first he looks like he could barely push an IQ over 75...

In the second, he looks right @ home. Too bad there wasn't a professional cheerleading league when he was in school. WE could have been spared all of this death and madness.

[Sparkly]

5. Yup -- and he's still able to make dorky expressions...

[Emillereid]

4. He looks retarded -- like the lights are dim and getting dimmer!

[Pam-Moby]

6. Just keep looking at the photo

soon you will see little horns popping out of his head....HAHAHAH

[soleft]

7. It's been widely speculated he's suffered a stroke

[deadparrot]

15. That was my first thought. nt

[Skittles]

23. why did he quit running?

they blamed in on a bum knee.......yeah right

[Sparkly]

33. And, he takes his physician with him when he rides his bike.

And apparently he needs to!

(Btw, has there been any video of him riding his bike?)

[Poiuyt]

50. And at the debates

Wasn't Bush's physician the only assistant he had backstage with him at the debates?

[purduejake]

8. It freaks me out when I see his hand raised.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

9. Remember when mama said if you....

keep making funny faces, your face will stay that way? Maybe he smirked too often, and now it's stuck.

[Syncronaut Seven]

10. That's the republican smile

It's a left brain/right brain thing.

I see it in many republicans whose deeds and actions conflict with core moral values.

They know it, body language rarely lies. Test the theory for yourself.

I only see that smile in flaming hypocrites and stroke victims.

[Straight Shooter]

11. The top photo, mortician makeup. He has a face only a cadaver could love.

Phew, he is one disgusting man.

[molly]

12. His right ear is more pointy than his left ear

[Sparkle]

13. That first pic is scary.

I covered the left side of his face and it has an eerie look on the right side. When I cover the right side, theleft side gives a fear look. That's the side that his face muscles look weak. Or maybe he's just ugly.

[bluedeminredstate]

14. You're right.

He droops - just look at his mouth. I'm also struck by his pallor. I'm a nurse and have seen some funky colored people. My step-mom's dad one time looked awful and I was the only one who noticed. I told her to take him to a doctor and he had endocarditis - a heart valve infection! He was gray.
The chimp is colorless which may prove my theory that he has no beating heart.

[Sanity Claws]

18. Not sure about the pallor

Could be poor lighting. In the second picture, he looks like he has more color.

[Sanity Claws]

16. Look at the eyes - they don't track.

The right eye seems to be looking to the left while the left eye looks straight ahead.
Is that a symptom of some medical condition?

[whalerider55]

24. lol

mel brooks once described the late Marty Feldman ("hump? what hump?") as a guy with one eye that looks at CLeveland, the other eye looks at Chicago.

i shouldn't laugh.

but i will.

we bad.

whalerider55

[Fleshdancer]

17. where is that cheerleader's hand??? n/t

[Neoma]

19. eeewwwwwwwwwe

[alfredo]

20. could he have had a stroke?

was the pretzel incident a stroke? We need to look a pre and post pretzel photos.

[MLE]

21. it's kinda like

how if you don't use your muscles for a long enough time they start to atrophy, the same goes for the brain! That man has never had to put his to use, so why start now?

On that note, here's another great picture. You all might have seen it, but someone sent it to me yesterday. It has not been edited.

[Tess49]

22. Personally, I like the field of view you get with the lens caps on.

You don't have to bother with that pesky focusing.

[tblue37]

27. Yes it has.

Snopes.com has debunked that photo, and even has the same pic with Clinton.

[InternalDialogue]

48. Actually, the Snopes pic of Clinton is a different shot

Snopes doesn't debunk this photo with the lens caps on, but includes a second picture taken near the same time with the lens caps also off, suggesting that the caps may have been on at some point but were removed.

[NVMojo]

46. umm....I can't stop LAUGHING!!!!

[Tony_Illinois]

25. What do you think is happening in this one?

[Sanity Claws]

26. He's getting ready to

huff and to puff and blow your house down.
I almost expect steam to be coming out of his ears, like a cartoon character.

[Sparkly]

28. "I'm Popeye the Sailor Man, toot toot"... n/t

[Historic NY]

32. gasssssssssssss.............................bad gassssssssssss......n/t

[NVMojo]

47. trying to hold it in ....

[s-cubed]

29. There was a lot of speculation after the 3rd debate

(I think it was the third, where his face looked like that, and where he had some spittle on his mouth), that he had had a stroke. Some MDs said, yes, but that there were a few other things as well that could do that, such as Bell's palsy.

If you put together the different speculations and facts: the drug and alcohol abuse, the bulge, the falls, the pretzel, the family history of Graves disease and heart problems, the recent pics of him strugling to get out of a vehicle, the degradation of his mental abiilities from 10 years ago, etc., it is pretty likely that he has a heart problem and that he has been wearing a portable defibrillator for quite some time. Since I'm not an MD, I can't remember quite how the causality works out, but I think it is that both alcohol & drug abuse as well as the heart problem can cause these mini strokes, the heart problem is hereditary (no pun intended). Also, he has been observed "geeking" a term used to describe a peculiar lower jaw motion which is characteristic of cocaine abusers. In orther words, not only do we have a heartless bastard in the office, we have one is probably losing mental capacity everytime he gets on of these mini-strokes: and he doesn't have much to spare.

I don't have the links, but a little googling on * bulge, would get you stated. I saw an article not too long ago by a doctor that discusses all this a lot, but didn't bookmark it. That ought to keep you busy for a while!;)

[Last Lemming]

30. Saw this first

on the first debate (left facial droop)
less noticable for the next few weeks--now it's back
it's "parasis" not "paralysis" (muscle weak but not paralyzed)
Not sure what--my head says: possible multiple sclerosis
but my heart whispers multi-infarct secondary to alcohol abuse (not in remission)

[Lena inRI]

31. He's impacted with constipated shit. . .

hence all the bullshit exiting his mouth.

[Cleita]

34. Bell's Palsy?

It happened to an acquaintance of my husband, who drank too much and used too many drugs. Half of his face became paralyzed.

[Sanity Claws]

35. Bell's palsy can happen to anyone

I know two people who had it. One drank some but not heavily. The other one hardly drank at all. Neither did drugs.

[Cleita]

37. Bush has a past history of substance abuse.

Just wondering. It could be a mild stroke too like others have speculated.

[Sanity Claws]

40. A stroke is a possiblity

I just wanted to point out that Bell's Palsy is not caused by substance abuse.
I remember when one of my friends had it, we did some research and saw that the cause of it is unknown. Some had speculated that it was a reactivated virus (chicken pox??) but others had discounted that theory.

[yellowdogintexas]

42. Reactivated chicken pox is shingles, and it normally affects the

trunk area, particularly the area between the last 2 or 3 ribs and the hip area. It can also invade other major nerve bundles, and has been known to invade the eye itself and the esophogeal area. I had a mild bout with it and it was no fun, I do not want to even think about a severe attack.

If you are prone to fever blisters, and to those ulcer/sores in your mouth and have no other medical reason to havethem, a breakout can be due to a reinfestation of chickenpox as well.

Bell's is sort of its own thing, possibly due to a virus that localized in the nerves of the jaw.

Guillan Barre is due to a bad reaction to flu shot.

MS is not outside the realm of possibility, and very ironic since the pres on West Wing has had it for what 2 or 3 years now?

[Not_Giving_Up]

45. A local newscaster has Bell's Palsy

He's the guy who does the investigative reporting, always catching HPD doing something they shouldn't be. It looked like he had a stroke, people were calling and e-mailing asking, so they did a segment on Bell's. They said it was viral, and he was on medication that would fix it, but it might take a while.

We speculate that somebody at the Halloween party gave him a special drink.

[Bluebear]

36. "We got Spirit! We got S-P-I-R-I-T, spirit!!" screamed the monkey

[Miami Liberal]

38. WTF was he doing with those cheerleaders?

Do their parents know he's there?

[Malva Zebrina]

39. I can't stand looking at his face, and his tie is crooked

and what else but cheerleaders--the subservient women, cheering on their man?(men)

[TalkingDog]

41. No, his tie is straight...

He's the one that's crooked.

[yellowdogintexas]

43. NO

I have been noticing this since the 1st debate

[yardwork]

44. He looks like Two-Face, Batman's old nemesis

[goforit]

49. This may be Bell's Palsey......7th cranial nerve disorder.
