What's the deal ? Bush's jaw wiggles between phrases.

[MrTriumph]

Watching W deliver prepared text, I noticed between phases he shifts his jaw from side to side. At first I did not think much of it, but then I noticed he did it each and every time he came to a pause. It was as if he were adjusting dentures.

FWIW I also noticed the whistle-like "sss" that he often tags words was gone.

Has Bush had some extensive dental work?

[opihimoimoi]

Its his celeberal Gears, running low on oil, whatapun,

he cannot shift gears as norm peeps do. His gears are very slo, like 4.1 RPM

The glitch you notice are gears slipping...

2. He's on the pipe...

Smokin' crack again.

[mountebank]

4. I just started noticing this, too.

My guess is that it's just a tic, but a pretty stupid one. I think he started it hoping to convey a sense of resolve and toughness, but then it stuck.

[Wizard777]

5. Ah that's just the amphetamines. But hey he's not drinking!

[Jim Sagle]

8. He's a locust.

[hiaasenrocks]

9. I just recently noticed that.

The first time I was aware of it was when he nominated Roberts.

Maybe it's a nervous habit? He's had a lot to be nervous about recently...

I can hardly stand to watch and listen to the guy. This new facial gesture only makes it more irritating.

[truth2power]

10. I saw that. But he purses his lips between phrases,

which tends to control it somewhat.

I don't think there's ever been anyone this spooky :scared: in the oval office.

[miss_kitty]

11. Some anti-depressants do that

It's tooth grinding.

But hey-it could be coke.

[Tyranny_R_US]

12. White Lines....

Vision dreams of passion
(Blowin’ through my mind) and all the while I think of you
(High fry) a very strange reaction
(For us to unwind) the more I see, the more I do
(Something like a phenomenon) Baby!
(Tellin your body to come along, but white lines blow away)
(Blow! Rock it! Blow!)

[StellaBlue]

13. It's beause

He's figured out that all the pre-written, pre-scripted, pre-recorded talking points coming out of his mouth as blatant lies.

Involuntary muscular manifestation.

[SlowDownFast]

14. That's been going for awhile.

Search the threads: jaw click.

It's a symptom of neurosis/psychosis.

[mitchum]

[VPStoltz]

23. Yup! He's back on crack.

[leftofthedial]

16. psychotropic drugs

he's been a chronic user and addict most of his life

[sam sarrha]

22. take LSD and start an F'n WAR and DROWN 20,000 people.. Bad Trip..!!

Bankrupt a nation.. what a Bummer... makes my teeth hurt just thinking about that.
