Debate Day Group Therapy: A List!

[Rose Siding]

Let's list our own latest nails-on-chalkboard Bushnastics. You know- what's a dependably irritating mannerism that he exhibits that renders you unable to control sighing or teeth gnashing or eye rolling? What drives you naked into the moonlight, howling? Why do you overeat?

Make it personal! Make it petty! Make it recognizable! Cast maturity to the wind!

Mine: His exaggerated, tortured articulation of the language is a constant irritant, but I'll isolate this gripe to his inexplicable, over pronunciation of the word "a". Over and over with pseudo-sincerity: "ey" this. "EIGH" that, with clipped and halting precision, right in the middle of the sentence! NO ONE TALKS LIKE THAT.

See? Petty. Your turn!

1. His pigeon bobbing head

his pointy ears - his beak nose - his entire gargoyle face

[cally]

2. The way he walks

and how he touches Laura Bush. It's hateful. Plus, he almost walks one or two steps ahead of her. :puke:

[molly]

4. He's trying to be a man

or has a horrific case of jock-itch

[Rose Siding]

6. Yes- and he swings his arms with the palms to the back

That's irritating.

3. Oh, God

When he leans his left elbow on the podium and and leans out over the microphone to smirk. I want to smack his elbow off until he falls flat on his face.

5. When his eyelids flap so often and so hard they actually make noise

and a stiff breeze. Or so I'm told. :evilgrin:

As a mother of two boys, I'd have to say that the slumping over the podium is, personally, incredibly aggravating. If two young boys can stand up straight, so can a grown man. Sheesh. :eyes:

7. His "Why aren't you getting my point" WHINE!!
