Maybe it is just me but that reminds me of people who use coke. And I ain't talkin' about Coca-Cola...

1. There's been a thread or two on it.....
I wish someone would get some good video of it. I've never noticed it.

5. He always does it
Watch him when he finishes one of his one liners and pauses. Then watch his bottom jaw swing side to side.

9. I've noticed it. He does it all the time.
Watch C-SPAN at night when he gives a speech. The networks won't show it to us.

3. I think he has neurological disease
You can see diminished verbal function from when he first entered the scene running for Texas gov. He falls off bikes a lot and winds up with bruises. He choked on a pretzel?

I woudln't be suprised if has those minor scale seizures often. It might explain why he needs so much sleep also.

4. Ya know, I was wondering about that myself...
I used to do the same thing when I took Adderall, I had to chew gum like a mad woman, so maybe he's switched to legally prescribed amphetamines?

7. I think Harry Shearer was the first to point this out.
He had a video of it on his HuffPost blog. It's recent, and weird.

12. bush wouldn't be the 1st prez to use stimulants..
JFK was a notorious meth-amphetamine user as well as other narcotics for injuries sustained in WW2...Its worth noting JFK kept his personal
doctor at hand on call 24 hrs a day.Like Elvis Presley whose doctor supplied him with Grade "uppers and downers".The 60's and 70's were pill poppers heaven.Here in NYC Class 2 stimulants were readily available and dirt cheap..Anyway,is young bush using drugs today,no doubt in my mind he's high on some substance..look how many times he fell off his bike,chocked on food,misspoke on camera,give us the finger..HE MUST BE HIGH !!!!

13. Definitely noticed the jaw
It's even more prominent when he is upset about something. Then it REALLY snaps.

Dead giveaway of his feelings.

He also has started doing little jerks with his neck.

14. It is weird. That look he has when he does it freaks me out.
He got that smirk going. The jaw swinging. That in your face lean on the podium.

15. I have said this before
It is his lie tick, and very pronounced. It really is freaky.

It is like (anyone know how to insert the JAWS music?)
