Aaron Brown: Bush appeared over Caffienated

[Protagoras]

just now on CNN. I'm cleaning coke off my monitor now :D

*edited to fix Aaron's name*

[quinnox]

1. lol I was just thinking the same thing

Bush looked manic tonight.

[SayitAintSo]

2. Thought the same thing .... A little drug help ???

Things go better with coke ....;)

[LiberalFighter]

10. Or maybe he didn't get his caffeine fix

[tedzbear]

9. I think he was just nervous...

...they told him to act "lively" so that's what he did.

[Mojambo]

3. Yeah, he was definitely hopped up on something n/t

[qanda]

4. He seemed to calm down in the second half

But I was like what is his problem during the first 40 minutes or so.

[LiberalFighter]

11. Then he definitely wasn't short on caffeine

otherwise he would be hopping and jittery to the point of passing out

5. over cocaininated....imho

[npincus]

[K8-EEE]

6. Ha! Your monitor is over-caffeinated, Bush is..

batshit crazy!

[Beetwasher]

7. This Is THE STORY OF THE DEBATE!!!!

What's w/ Bush's CRAZY MOOD SWINGS!!!

[Heath.Hunnicutt]

20. No coffee in the Situation Room

What was up with the weird-ass reference to going into the basement of the White House? He looked the Generals in the eye via TV screen! Ok.... That is a weird story, Mr. President.

Also, toward the end, the President called someone 'haters.'

Yo. G dub to the B in the house. Did his earpiece tune in 89.5FM for a second there, or what?

[unblock]

8. he was definitely wired. it was rumor the 1st time, but obvious this time

definitely too much coke.

but then, that's been a theme in shrub's life....

[ocean girl]

12. I don't think it's coke but it is some kind of stimulant.

Possibly Provigil or something like that - in a real high dose.

What I noticed was how fast he would jerk his head around.

He was totally out of control and you definitely could see the drug wearing off at the end.

god help us all.

[Mr_Spock]

15. Yes, a definite stimulant - he had weird facial twitches and was very

wide eyed. Funny, the drug did wear off after a while - that would explain Wolf's comment that he "screamed" for the first half of the debate...

[RafterMan]

23. It was coke

Just consider the timing. Graph the time of his hyperactivity as it passed into mellowed loquatiousness.

An adrenaline buzz lasts much less time, a caffeine buzz lasts longer, a speed buzz lasts *way* longer. A coke buzz unfolds just like you saw it unfold tonight.

I had never bought into these theories about Bush before, but I know what I saw tonight.

[Iceburg]

13. Caffienated;Cokinated;; whatever --- but not presidential

Of course that's an outsider/Canadian opinion.
Put a toque on his head, put 'im on a skidoo and ...yes, he could be one of ours --- but prime minister --NO---NO---NEVER... christ, we have our standards!

[MsMagnificent]

14. To put it mildly LMAO

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

16. At least others are starting to notice that Bush is on something

His fixed stare, blinking, and occasional side-to-side rapid eye movements were bizarre, almost as bizarre as the Miami debate where he scowled and puckered his lips.

[fob]

17. Rmember when they skewered The 3 Gores, one personality for each debate?

I can't wait til I wake up and see story after story about how bush* is so uncomfortable in his own skin that he completely changed personalities in only 8 days!

No really, i can't wait, CUZ IT'S NEVER FUCKING GONNA HAPPEN!!!


YYYYAEEEEEEEAARRARRHHGHGHGHGHGHGHG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DoYouEverWonder]

25. Bush changes personalities faster

than Madonna changes personas. I can't keep up any more. It kind of scary when you never know who pResident George is going to be today. Nice pResident or mean pResident. Happy pResident or mad pResident. Talk about flip flopping. Maybe W has a multiple personality disorder?

[Kimber Scott]

18. He needs Ritalin. I'm sure he's ADHD. Hyperfocusing is a symptom

and he's been hyperfocused on Iraq since he stole the presidency. He also, obviously, has a hard time waiting his turn.

[Craig Roberts]

19. Dan Quayle Redux

Does anybody remember the Dan Quayle/Bentson debates? If I remember correctly, during the first debate - the famous "You're no Jack Kennedy" debate - Quayle looked like a deer caught in the headlights the whole time. He actually looked scared, like somebody overcome with stage fright.

The next debate, they had obviously hammered into him the problems with his first debate, and the guy was out of control. He was waving his hands all around and yelling and dancing around behind the podium. It was hilarious.

I think something like that happened to George tonight. He was pushing too hard in the opposite direction, overcompensating. More annoying than funny, but the same basic problem, I think.

[MaggieSwanson]

21. Creatine?

He was definately on something. Looked very much like an upright primate; hunched over, arms akimbo. Not a far strtch to imagine him beating his chest...

[Joe Turner]

22. Shrub was at his Drug Store Cowboy Best

Complete with his heavy Southern drawl, to play into the MO crowd. He's as fraudulent as they come and it's clear his ACT is getting quite old. Most American Folks have watched this disgraceful president lurch from one disaster to another, lying his retarded ass off all the way and are tired of it.

I'm so proud of the way Kerry handled this Turkey AGAIN.

[deckerd]

28. New Meme: Bush = Drug Store Cowboy -- n/t
