Chimp's posture cracks me up -- why does he stand like this?

[Sparkly]

Does he think it makes him look more "personable?"
Do people "relate" to looking like a stupid monkey?
How's it going to work for him tonight?

1. Hiding congenital "no-backbone-ites" disease.

[Bucky]

19. the Two Faces image updated

I googled for "drunk monkey" and lookie what I got

[July]

It's part of the Beavis laugh. nt.

[doni_georgia]

2. Cause he's a knuckle-dragging chimp

Chimps don't stand completely upright.

[BJ]

7. But chimpanzees have more integrity.

And quite possibly, more intelligence.

[XNASA]

3. It's because he's fey.

As in, "Appearing touched or crazy, as if under a spell."

[bullimiami]

4. he used to be smart as a monkey

but now hes dumb as a chimp.

[Homerr]

5. It makes him look like Mr. Burns.

Yeesssssssssss.

[bowens43]

6. To hide the radio receiver that is taped to his back.

8. I read somewhere after that last debate....

to explain his poor posture, that he hunches over the podium to "reach out to his audience". Or some such horse crap.

[Sparkly]

11. But his shoulders are up to his ears!

Kerry leans forward without his shoulders hiking up or his head dipping foward.

But if "reaching out" is why Chimp does it, I hope he works reeeeally hard at "reaching out" this evening. :)

[leftchick]

26. well... it was typical excuse making by the TV HOs....

which is horse shit.... :)

[Neecy]

30. 'reach out'?

Yeah, it's crap. For three and a half years, I've watched this monkey slouching over a podium and it still pisses me off. It's disgraceful, disrespectful, and so NOT WORTHY of the dignity of the office he stole.

To me, the podium slump is a subtle way he tries to show his superiority over his audience - it's like he's saying he's too good to stand up straight for the proles. It's nauseating.

9. because he hasn't evolved like the rest of us

he's a throwback

[Stephanie]

10. That's his "You like me! You really, really like me!" pose.

He is flirting with the crowd. He thinks he is a prince.

[Paradise]

12. Cheney's not around. Has to lean on something. n/t

[soothsayer]

13. dunno, but the toy soldier march they taught him cracks me up. just watch

him when he's marching in and out of the rose garden, or other places, and it's sooooo friggin' funny!

[montanacowboy]

14. Uriah Heap

the only thing missing is the hand wringing -

[JimmyJazz]

now that's just plain mean - I have no idea why you would post

something comparing our beloved president (make that MY beloved president) to a chimp! Have you no heart, man???

[54anickel]

32. Nice collection. Ya notice how much he's aged? He looks like shit

these days, or should I say shittier.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. It's Kind Of Effeminate

Some of his poses are effeminate....


For a guy trying to be all macho I wonder if he realizes it...

[Sparkly]

20. Like this one?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. It's The Softer Side Of Bush (nt)

[goclark]

22. Well...

[PeaceForever]

16. It's bad bodylanguage, which suprises me about him.

Usually, Bush has good "alpha male" bodylanguage. It's how he projects confidence.

Interesting to see him becoming more "beta."

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. It's A Richard Simmons Pose (nt)

[PeaceForever]

29. LOL, he should keep it up. n/t

[madrchsod]

18. watch a little kid when

someone gives them praise. children have the same body language...

[txindy]

23. Because his fat head is fixin' to slide right off his shoulders

:evilgrin:

[readmylips]

24. Lies on his shoulders over whelm him...

Lies, Lies, Lies..that's a big load on your shoulders Mr. Nobody.

[leftylefty]

25. All the better

for his knuckles to drag on the ground!

[newyawker99]

28. Hi leftylefty!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[aden_nak]

27. Evolution, or rather the lack there-of.

[gardenista]

31. That "ain't I cute" shrugging pose is that of a 3 year old boy

who's mother thinks it's cute when he says a bad word or tries to act like a big boy.

[sundancekid]

33. the hunchback of love-my-fame: self-enamored, self-centered, self-serving

... he truly believes it's ALL ABOUT HIM. Period.
