Why Does Bush* Look Like He's Holding Tennis Balls In His Armpits

[arwalden]

He holds his arms away from his body like a self-conscious teen who's trying to hide the fact that his suit doesn't fit and he doesn't want anyone to see how high the sleeves ride up beyond his wrists.

It just looks IDIOTIC for a grown man to be standing like that.

Is it intentional? Does he know he's doing it? Is it supposed to convey some sort of body language of "confidence" and "statesmanship"??

Or is it something that he can't control?

1. He's an ignorant piss-mop...

it just goes with the territory.

[ChoralScholar]

16. 'piss-mop'... I need to remember that one :) EOM

[spinbaby]

2. Kevlar vest, probably

Or he's just drunk.

[Yogi]

3. monkey boy

n/t

[tnlefty]

4. IMHO...seems to be an effort to make himself look bigger and to re-

inforce that macho, tough guy image.

Could also be misshapen from dragging his knuckles though.

[ClintonTyree]

5. He thinks it makes him look................

macho, like he's got bulging muscles beneath the jacket. It's sort of like when he stuffed his crotch with the socks in the aircraft carrier. It's all for show.

6. Added to that fact that he's bandy-legged

and walks as if he's got a broomstick rammed up his ass, he generally looks like a complete putz.

7. Ready at all times for a "quick draw"--forgot he's not wearing the

cap guns on his hips anymore.

He still has the Hopalong Cassidy underwear on, however.

9. That Would Help To Explain Why He Chews His Lip In Public

... to give him that tough-guy look and scowl.

Excellent comparison MisterTrickster.

-- Allen

(Cap guns... lol!)

[mitchtv]

8. remarkably Simian

with kevlar

10. Since he can't control anything ...

I'd have to say "no" -- his body posture isn't something he intentionally controls. Like leaning on a podium or smirking. It's clear that he isn't comfortable in his own skin. Sad, really.

11. because Dick C. told him to "get some balls" ...

... so he did (tennis balls, as you suggest) and that was the only place he could think of to store them without attracting attention.

There WAS another place, actually, but people laughed at him after he stuck those gym socks in there during the flight-suit photo up. So he's wised up. (Kind of.)

15. Good thing he stuffed the socks in FRONT of his flight suit...

...or the jokes would have been worse still.

[jukes]

12. double body armor

& probably a wise choice.

EDIT: Arwalden, note the correct spelling!

[MuseRider]

13. From all the

ass kicking? (old joke in case you don't get it)

[johnnie]

14. Because he is an asshole

:shrug: Sorry, that is my stock answer when anyone ever asks a question about the guy.

[DemBones DemBones]

17. He gets confused and

uses Laura's extra-body, extra-hold hairspray instead of his deodorant spray?

Just wait till he picks up her Nair instead of his shampoo. . .

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

18. He's Michael Flatley, Lord of the Dunce

[arwalden]

19. That's The Pose...

All puffed up and ready to brawl.

He doesn't have a clue. A FUCKING MORON! I just want to slap that fucking smirk right off his smug little face.
