OMG, Bush is in the process of melting down

[DoYouEverWonder]

This has got to be the worst Bush pic ever. He looks like he either going to melt or explode. Whichever way he goes, he is obviously in big trouble.

1. he's gaining a lot of weight on the trail

that i HAVE noticed

[wicket]

31. psychiatric meds are known to pack on the pounds

nt

2. That looks like the Steroid Puffies to me!

When I was teaching, I learned to recognize the Steroid Puffies: looks like a layer of baby fat over what a few days before had been taught skin.

[DoYouEverWonder]

3. Why would they have him on steroids?

n/t

[doctor klahn]

4. I think

anti-psychotics cause weight gain. Or maybe something like lithium to cut down on the manic episodes...

Just a thought

[DoYouEverWonder]

6. I had a friend who was a former Playboy bunny

who ended up on anti-psychotics, she blew up like a balloon.

18. What about alcohol toxins?

[bunkerbuster1]

7. They're prescribed sometimes to aid recovery

from various ailments.

I don't think it's 'roids, myself. I think he's just doing what a lot of guys do when they're on the road 24/7--a crap diet, no exercise. Kerry was complaining about that himself in the Rolling Stone interview, although in his case, he's obviously having trouble keeping weight on, rather than off.

[NAO]

10. If he has Bell's Palsy, steroids are standard treatment

Many suspected Bell's Palsy b/c of the one side of his face drooping, the turned down corner of his mouth, and the drool.

Alternately, anti-psychotics also cause weight-gain, bloating, mouth-twitching, and odd tics.

Some have also attributed the drooping mouth to a small stroke.

[liberalnurse]

19. Not enough is prescribed for the treatment

of Bells .....a short cycle of a reducing medrol dose pack probably 5 days max.....

[private_ryan]

15. your graphic is very dishonest and misleading

how do you which wolf said that ;)?

[onecitizen]

21. Exactly what I thought.......

I have to be on them occasionally and it makes me look a lot like he looks in that picture. BUT some antidepressant meds do it too.

5. On TDS last night, Jon Stewart talked Gibson showing Bush

before and after shots of himself since 2000. Nothing like letting the guy you're interviewing CLEARLY see himself floating in the toilet after 4 years!

[Terran]

8. Ugh! Damn!

Glassy eyes, drenched with sweat, robotic smile--he looks very ill.

I guess I would not have thought that someone who is allegedly so physically fit would sweat so much.

[DefenseLawyer]

9. he looks like Poppy from the eyes up

and W.C. Fields from the nose down

[Jack_Dawson]

11. Photoshopped?

He looks terrible - much worse than I've ever seen him. When was it taken?

[DoYouEverWonder]

14. Nope, straight from Reuters

it's up on Yahoo's News Picture Gallery.

[Jack_Dawson]

16. Link?

Or maybe there is no link...

[DoYouEverWonder]

17. Ye of little faith?

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/041026/photos_ts/mdf739389

Just kidding.

[Jack_Dawson]

24. I never doubted you - just didn't know if it was "out there"

[Buck Rabbit]

22. Right click the picture, and select properties.

12. Bush Is Off The Wagon

[killbotfactory]

13. Being a lying fuck-up takes a lot out of you,

The guy is in way over his pathetic head.

[demwing]

20. DUCK!

Its gonna blow!

[lindashaw]

23. Could he have a bad case of hives? Look at the weals on his

forehead. They're pretty well defined.

[wtmusic]

25. After another pass through photoshop's "redneck" plugin

[killbotfactory]

26. The water.. it burns! I'm melting... I'm melting...

man, he looks like shit...

[killbotfactory]

27. Are they trying to make him look like shit?

damn...

[killbotfactory]

29. (insert maniacal cackling here)

[Stephanie]

28. Good LORD!!!

I am jealous! That is the WORST BUSH PIC EVER!!!

WHAT is he ON?????

[Trahurn]

30. Pre-senile dementia

steriods are often used as a prompt treatment for symptoms of dementia as Bush clearly has. Did you folks see him when he had so much trouble trying to think of a collective term for whatever he was talking about when he said "group of folks"? Was he talking about terrorists or insurgents or what? Or does he even know?

[ClassWarrior]

32. As Satan gets more and more desperate, the latex...

...begins to melt from his face.

24.

[Clinton Crusader]

33. has anyone checked for horns or tail??

:kick:

[bushwakker]

34. Looks as old as his POS Dad.

[spanone]

35. His reptillian skin is beginning to show. He's not human.

[Zynx]

36. Don't drunks sweat a lot and get puffy like that?

[americanwomanone]

37. Damn that's Ugly! n/t
