list the tics you saw

[grasswire]

I saw a tic under his left eye. Tic, tic, tic.

I saw him sort of suck his lower lip.

I saw him squint his eyes a LOT, as if he could not comprehend English.

I saw his eyelashes flutter.

More?

[apnu]

1. snapping on gibson was a clue

[janx]

31. He not only snapped--he ignored the rules and lost his temper.

It was unbelievable.

[ibegurpard]

2. Not a tic but

I really hate the way he walks around with his head hunched forward...it reminds me of a bobblehead.

[benddem]

3. he does the strangest thing

with his jaw. If he was on haldol or one of the anti psychotic drugs it might make sense. Note the way he moved his jaw sideways and back. He did keep better control of the grimaces...they must have put him on something. He still looks like Alfred E.

[Bozvotros]

6. I saw that too

Especially at the beginning. It was like he had a temporal mandibular joint malfunction or like the tin man in Oz....wait, that was Cheney.

[Bozvotros]

14. Probably dosed on pharmaceutical cocaine

along with testosterone and valium, all remotely dosed through some kind of venal port via remote control.

[PA Democrat]

4. A jerk like movement of his jaw

Like he was waging battle against a mighty smirk.

[Bad Thoughts]

5. Moving his lower jaw back and forth

[democrank]

7. What the hell was with the

new jaw thing? Was it an intimidating monkey action?

[LTR]

8. Did the 'Paul Lynde' sneer a few times

Especially when he tried to sell Gibson some timber.

[Rambis]

Jaw clicking

I thought he was going to grind his teeth.

[cheshire]

9. He had to force himself not to smirk several times. Tics, jaw clenching,

blinking. Straight lip a whole lot of times.

[DoYouEverWonder]

10. W was twitching and ticking

all over the place. He's like a kid with ADD. Get the man some more Ritalin please.

[DemonFighterLives]

11. Grinding his teeth

Like he was on speed. Would also explain his wildness for the first 46 minutes and culminating when he blew up on Charlie.

[madmax]

19. Yes!! He did that a lot.

I kept watching and I'm convinced he is on some sort of speed or coke. That's a new one I haven't seen him do before tonight.

Anyone see him do this before?

[DemonFighterLives]

25. I wanted to reply and also there are others seeing it

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x2469918

Either that or a dental appliance. :kick:

[Fiendish Thingy]

12. maybe not a tic, but did you see the cocky, smartass wink

he gave someone (not the questioner) after, I believe, a rebuttal. It was in the first half, but I don't remember the question, just the wink...it was an arrogant "I showed the sumbitch" kind of a look. It was quick and at the bottom of the screen (on FOX affiliate) as they moved on to the next question.

[DemonFighterLives]

15. He was sure smirking and winking at someone

Must have been his trainer. He was looking for a scooby snack.

[high density]

22. Yeah, I saw at least two winks

I thought it was very inappropriate. If Kerry was winking to audience members there would be an outrage among the talking heads.

[ldf]

13. he was also winking at people in the audience

trying to establish that cowboy rapport.

[Fla Dem]

16. When there was a full shot of him when he was standing he

kept jerking his left leg, like his shorts were giving him a wedgie

[mike6640]

17. the winking thing

annoys me when I see anyone do it.

I noticed him putting most of his weight on his right leg and turn his left foot on the outside edge while standing. Kind of like a lopsided bowleg.

M

on edit: you saw it too Fla Dem!

[Sparkly]

18. Definitely -- blink blink blink and the jaw moving

Very tense.

[texas1928]

20. The one that stood out the most

was his eyelids. He kept blinking continuously. I was beginning to wonder if he needed some eyewash. and he did his old tried and true shoulder shrug and laugh he does.

[grasswire]

21. we need a shrink to assess the ...

....facial contortions.

[RaRa]

23. Frequent eye blinking

He did better than last week (oooh, that would be tough), but I felt warm and fuzzy the more he batted his eyelashes when Kerry twisted that knife in his spinless back. That's a sign of lying, right?

[MasonJar]

24. Bush blinked unmercifully when he was sitting waiting....drove me

nuts

[Maru]

26. He BURPED. The chimp burped on national television.

It was in the last 45 minutes of the debate - C-span had him on split screen while Kerry was talking. He made one of his pruny faces, and then did a closed-mouth burp.

[secular_warrior]

27. When Kerry was raking him over, the camera shot

closed in on him just sitting there clenching his teeth and blinking like a battery operated chimp about to explode. I found it troubling none of the media people talked about how chimp looked as if he was having a hard time controlling the rage, yet they went on and on about Gore in 2000 being "sedated" after his first disasterous "sighing" debate.

[kentuck]

28. Deer in the headlights a couple of times....

when Kerry slapped him really good...

[robbedvoter]

29. Short, swift nod ("so there") - at the end of most answers

As in "that'll show him". Very nasty, very deranged.
he scared me last night - there's one thing to "know" man's unstable, another to witness it.

[shrub chipper]

30. That's the one that bothered me the most, too.

He is such an arrogant SOB and that 'so there!' nod summed it up for me!!

[lavendermist]

32. Tardive Dyskinesia..

This is what I thought last night when I saw him moving his jaw back and forth sideways.He did it mostly when not talking but did display it when he was pacing and talking. I've wondered if he has been on some kind of psychotropic medication for some time.
