1. Weird and gross

I was hungry before opening this thread. Now, not so much.

[roguevalley]

101. it could be this

All the blinking and winking and tongue twirling still makes me wonder about Tardive Dyskinesia: "Features of the disorder may include grimacing, tongue protrusion, and rapid eye blinking" from use of certain medications.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardive_dyskinesia

[goclark]

102. Does it also mention being unaware of which direction

to move in?

I am reminded of GE when he can't find the right door etc.

[FloridaJudy]

119. I really think the guy has a neuro problem

If he hadn't been so hateful on the subject of women's health during the debate, I'd feel sorry for the old coot.

[nyc 4 Biden]

2. that top one is great.

that can't be real. lol

[Jennicut]

6. Unfortunately it WAS all too real.

Truly disturbing, don't you think.

35. I swear I thought that was a photoshop, I mean, I hoped...ohhhh

70. I was right there with ya!

I was all like Shop job! and Damn that was quick! Then it's on Y news.

SHEESH!

-Hoot

[Eric J in MN]

9. It's real. McCain made a face when he wasn't sure...

...if he should exit to his left or to his right.

[K Gardner]

36. I wonder if there's a video anywhere of that little "dance" he did when he made that face.

[cyberpj]

66. saw that - it was just like the dance Bush did when he couldn't open that door and didn't know which

way to go...

[DesertRat]

80. It reminded me of that too

10. roflmao!!! Oh God. Thanks, these are really funny! nt

[City Lights]

11. Another reptilian Repuke.

Between these pics and his darting tongue, I'm totally grossed out by Grumpy McSlime. And that whistle I hear when he talks reminds me of creepy Mr. Herbert from Family Guy.

[mamalone]

12. Oh. My. Goodness. That last picture...

Poor, poor Cindy...:cry:

[neomonkey]

17. Poor Cindy my arse

I think she sticks around just because of that lizard tongue...

[Mother Of Four]

25. Yuck...just.....YUCK

26. Sorry, some things left better unsaid (or unthought!) nt

34. She's just sticking around for the White House decorating & hosting budget and staff

Imagine all the loads of fits she can throw at the White House staff, it's a debutante's dream

[lunatica]

92. Chartreuse drapes with matching orange chairs, aquamarine walls and white rugs.

To match her clothes.

[goclark]

103. How is her arm doing _ remember the cast?

Maybe she was keeping their meds in that cast.

[windbreeze]

13. Does he even realize he's a PRESIDENTIAL candidate??

what on earth is wrong with him...??? There is a time to joke and be funny...and for him, now is sooooo NOT the time...either he has taken leave of his senses...OR he's throwing this election on purpose...wb...

[Locrian]

14. what about this one

looks like a muchkin!!!

[Kalyke]

21. "We represent the Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild.

And in the name of the Lollipop Guild...

...We wish to welcome you to Munchkin Land!"

:rofl:

[underpants]

22. McCain looked like a kid in his first suit.

at the very end he finally sat up in his chair and adjusted himself. I was watching thinking "Man he has no neck"

[symbolman]

15. I think they dosed this clown..

speed gives you "cotton mouth" and like a Cotton mouth snake he was doing a lot of Snaky Lickylicks..

Disturbing..

Thanks John, you big fuckin' rich elitist kid in an old man's body .. :)

[Generic Other]

24. I thought this too

Old Navy pilot trick to stay alert?

[achtung_circus]

100. The pilots call them "Go-Pills" nt

[lunatica]

94. I thought maybe it was valium they gave him

He got so relaxed he thought it would be fun to do a lollying little jig to show how spry he really is. Lowered inhibitions

[symbolman]

124. Possible, I can see that..

another reason for him Mangling Words and Sentences.. Talking faster than the mouth muscles could respond, not necessarily a sign of intellect gone wild..

Yeah, for a Booze Generation guy, downers, so he feels like he's a happenin' tough guy..

I see it :)

[BumRushDaShow]

16. LOL

:rofl:

[Shardik]

18. LOL, OMG!!!11! He's caught the dreaded Palin Wink Syndrome!

:)

[Solomon]

19. What's really freaky is that David Ickes always talks about

how the ruling class is a reptile race and that they are shapeshifters. They can maintain an illusion to humans that they are not reptiles, but when they get stressed, their fake human look starts to wilt and the reptile things start coming out. That's why Cheney has to go away and hide, etc. etc.

I had already started looking at McCain noticing how much he looks like a lizard, but his wife too. When I look at theses pictures, the tongue sticking out looks so reptilian. The cold eyes. The utter and complete lack of empathy... Maybe Ickes is on to somthing. LOL

[underpants]

20. His eyes are black as night

Jim Lehrer too. Maybe it is a DC thing :shrug:

[GreenEyedLefty]

23. Reptilian - that's how I described McCain last night.

He was so creepy with those blinky black, beetly eyes. I seriously waited for his tongue to dart out.

[NatBurner]

39. it darted out a thousand times

watch it again-

every time mccain thought he got off a good zinger, his tongue would flick out

very distracting

[GreenEyedLefty]

48. No way.

Really? I admit it, I only caught the last half hour or so. I can't wait to see the vids, though.

[NatBurner]

53. here's a mash-up from the 1st debate:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIZLg_lmx10

disgusting

[GreenEyedLefty]

76. Oh. My. God.

This needs to be OP'ed in the Political Vids forum. I would except (a) I can't do that fancy embedding stuff and (b) I need to go be sick now.

:puke:

[Alameda]

97. Oh...grosssss! Barf!

:puke:

[Solomon]

98. Aw damn, he was doing it in the first debate too?

Aw, damn.

[1Hippiechick]

121. The best comment from that website, imo. LOL

Lizards smell stuff with their tongues! Just like snakes, a lizard will stick out its tongue to catch scent particles in the air, then pull back its tongue and place those particles on the roof of its mouth where there are special sensory cells. The lizard can use these scent clues to find food or a mate, or to detect enemies. San Diego Zoo Website.

Apparently, he is looking for a clue.

[WA98296]

71. It was totally weird. Makes him look geriatric.

[Obamarama]

27. Looks like Gramps has tardive dyskinesia:

Tardive dyskinesia is a variety of dyskinesia (involuntary, repetitive movements) manifesting as a side effect of long-term or high-dose use of dopamine antagonists, usually antipsychotics.

Tardive dyskinesia is characterized by repetitive, involuntary, purposeless movements. Features of the disorder may include grimacing, tongue protrusion, lip smacking, puckering and pursing of the lips, and rapid eye blinking.

Tardive dyskinesia most commonly occurs in patients with psychiatric conditions who are treated with antipsychotic medications for many years.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardive_dyskinesia

Now, I don't think McCain really has tardive dyskinesia because the signs and symptoms are really rather pronounced. But, hey...if Obama is consorting with terrorists, then heck...why couldn't McCain have tardive dyskinesia?

Hmmmmm....now where did I put that number to the National Enquirer???

[Marie26]

116. Doesn't Bush have that too?

Just what are these Republicans ON?

[meow mix]

28. K&R! ROFLLOLROF

75. LOLOL! He can't seem to control his tongue, can he....

[yurbud]

77. that could be a side effect of the psychiatric medication they used to keep him from exploding

[auntAgonist]

78. I almost feel embarrassed for him.

He's not very presidential at all.

83. He was on drugs

In his memoirs he'll admit they fed him uppers to energize him and anti-psychotics to keep him smooth.

The dude was trippin balls. I bet he saw tracers.

84. What the hell is wrong with that man?

oh YES, I knew I would remember:

112. Whoops! No WMDs behind THIS door!

[4lbs]

123. It just proves how much McCain and Dubya are alike in nearly every way.

Even their facial antics, and not knowing which way to go are the same.

[dccrossman]

89. That was after the debate, on which way to go around the desk

Scheiffer had started to go one way, McCain the other, he made the face, then they both went to the same side of the desk.

With all the crazy smiles and this mania at the end, the guy had to be on some kind of uppers. It was just too much.

[nichomachus]

90. Look familiar?

91. This thread is hilarious!

The pics and the comments.

95. Some funny comments from Youtube:

Just like snakes, a lizard will stick out its tongue to catch scent particles in the air, then pull back its tongue and place those particles on the roof of its mouth where there are special sensory cells. The lizard can use these scent clues to find food or a mate, or to detect enemies. San Diego Zoo Website.

Apparently, he is looking for a clue.

lol You know I'd heard about this conspiracy theory of Alien reptiles trying to take over the world, didn't think much of it until now.

This is exciting. No matter who wins, it'll either be the first black president or the first iguana president.

[Solomon]

99. Hey, I read the stuff a few years ago for entertainment purposes

but I'm starting to wonder now.

The theory is they came here hundreds of thousands of years ago and mixed with human bloodlines. They created modern humans to work the gold mines for them because they needed gold to save their planet. Their planet is one that has an elliptical path through our solar system such that it comes close only once every 3,600 years.

[Overseas]

96. See! I thought the dumb tongue sticking happened more than once.

He really was flapping it.

Very strange.

Wonder what prescription cocktail they had him on last night. Prednisone a little high may have accounted for the growly bit.

120. McCain seems to like to stick his tongue out. It's weird.

I've seen several photos where he's been doing that at various times.
