1. I think the left side of his face is dead. |
|
I seriously wonder if he had a stroke.

10. A disconjugate gaze and facial droop are both |

symptoms of Wernicke-Korsakoff, along with a whole laundry list of things he displays.

24. I've never heard of Wernicke-Korsakoff, so I googled it. |

Some interesting stuff...
Patients often attempt to hide their poor memory by confabulating. The patient will create detailed, believable stories about experiences or situations to cover gaps in memory. This is not usually a deliberate attempt to deceive because the patient often believes what he is saying to be true. It can occur whether or not the thiamine deficiency was related to alcoholism and with other types of brain damage.

27. hmm. remember when he said repeatedly that he'd seen the first plane |
|
... crash into the towers? I thought that he was confusing the order of the television footage we all saw ... the broadcast of the first plane hitting didn't happen until much later (afternoon at the earliest, if it showed up that day at all, since the filmmakers were understandably doing other things that morning!). And he just refused to change his story afterwards, even though he must have known. (Another school of thought is that he had a secret "insiders view", but to me this other explanation -- that he has a mixed-up memory, whether it's due to this medical condition or something else -- makes just as much sense.)

19. It sure looks like he had a stroke. |
|
Bush's face is much smoother and red looking on the left side. His mouth is also crooked.
Is there a doctor in the house?

and I think these pictures suggest that he is preoccupied, not thinking about what is going on, not focusing on the present. He can't handle the burden of the presidency. We have known that from the beginning. His "handlers" can't help him carry the emotional and spiritual burden of the nation. Only a few presidents have done that well.

7. There is a quote from him |
|
before he began to ran for anything in politics. Someone asked him if he would run and he said he was a media creation and wouldn't last. Seems like he's right about something eh?

9. It isn't the emotional or spiritual burden that is the problem. God |
|
picked him and it is God's fault...or Bill Clinton's. Seriously though, I think that he can't handle the rejection. The adoration he got during the elections in the highly managed crowds has dwindled as have his approval ratings. His latest attempt to improve them by playing God in the Schivo case have backfired big time. He will become more desperate to get the adulation he craves and continue his downward spiral.

5. Wow! He looks like shit in that first photo! |
|
Notice the yellowish tone of his skin? As for his eyes. I think that has been mentioned before. It seems that several of the diseases/conditions he is suspected of having involve eyes very much. One of them is Thyroid storm/Grave's Disease. Graves can lead to small strokes if not monitored and treated properly. Stress can increase the effects of the disease. Liver problems (cirrhosis of the liver, from all that frickin' drinking!) could account for the yellowish appearance of his skin!

She found out when Poppy was pRes. Doesn't it also come from eating small children?

15. Poppy has it too! I would agree with you on the small children thing |
|
but two members of my family have the disease and I have Hashimotos Thyroiditis and I don't believe any of us have been cannibalistic! Don't worry I'm not angry. I just thought I'd better make sure non one ELSE became offended!

11. He has always been a shifty eyed little sociopathic shit. |
|
Probably because he has always been a compulsive and incessant liar.

14. He's been looking for a long time like he either had a stroke |
|
or he could have Bell's Palsy. I wonder why they are covering it up? Is it because they are afraid Americans will balk at Cheney taking over?

23. I don't know, nor do I care. My youngest has Duanes's Syndrome |
|
which does affect eye movement and how the eyes appear. Dimson**, on the other hand, isn't looking too good and since he's been in office, neither am I. So I really don't give a flying fiddler's damn if he's looking bad.

28. yes -- reminds me of a chameleon lizard ... |
|
the type that swivels its eyeballs independently. A friend of mine, who had a glass eye, used to worry about "tracking" all the time -- we had a special signal we'd use when it needed adjusting.

I'd love to see a video of him standing there trying to not pass out-- blinking, licking his lips, swaying gently back and forth.. I'd LOVE to have a sample of whatever chemical enhancement they're feeding him these days! (I'd even promise not to enjoy it too much...)
