Is Bush possibly physically ill? As in something serious? pics
He's looking like absolute hell lately. The speech in the library he really looked awful - like someone in the worst part of the flu trying to suck it up.... I'm really not wishing anything on him, nor am I "worried". But he just looks AWFUL - even for him.



And then there this someone posted from the school visit today - He looks absolute grey - my husband looked like that starting a few weeks before he had a heart attack.



And this was posted on Saturday coming back from Camp David and he looks like absolute hell here too.

2. Wouldn't you if you had done to the world what he's done?
He probably hasn't slept (naturally) in at least three years.

He says so himself, and I believe him, because HE HAS NO CONSCIENCE!

I've helped raise 5 of them and they only sleep a couple of hours at a time. he probably meant to say like a zombie with the help of Ambien..

11. I admit I had to google first but you do have a good point.
"each sin being displayed as a new sign of aging on the portrait."

But this just seems like a sudden change to me. Maybe I have not been paying attention.

4. Let's hope so -
and if he is, I hope it's nothing trivial.

34. Well he does look a little more like "himself" in that taping.
allthough more subdued than usual but certainly more expressive than he's looked lately. Still looking on the ashy side. Thanks again for the links. I really appreciate that.

8. I guess it makes me a bad person
but I can't say that I don't wish anything on him. There is certainly nothing that would make me feel sorry for him.

18. I think that top photo might be under fluorescent lights.
No one in it looks too good.

If anyone in this admin is sick, we will never know it until after the fact.

Bush should have submitted a number of psych evaluations to the American people prior to the election. Maybe that should be a future requirement?

21. Maybe it's possible
that the boundless loathing and disgust most Americans feel toward him could be affecting his health.

Metaphysically, I mean. Not that he knows or cares.

22. He is an active alcoholic, look at his nose, the splotchy face.
This administration can deny it all they want, but it is as clear as the nose on his face (isn't).

29. Absolutely right; no question about it
Occam's Razor dictates that the theory that explains the most while relying on the fewest assumptions is the best. Bush shows every sign of full-blown alcoholism. It explains every aspect of his strange behavior and his declining physical appearance. While at the same time, this theory only relies on one assumption: that this admitted "former" alcoholic never stopped drinking. And I don't have a problem with that.

30. His behavior is that of
an untreated alcoholic too in addition to his skin color and thickness. Alcoholism will kill him if he remains untreated.

33. I really think the splotchy skin is rosecsea (sp)
his hands and neck have it too. It looks just like a friend of mine who has a skin disease rosecsea (although I'm pretty sure that spelling is wrong). Whether he's drinking or not, I think that splotchy thing is a skin disease. -- he's had that awhile. What I mean really is how ashy he looks and how dead his eyes look so often.

47. I have rosacea, too.
It's very irritating that so many people believe that a blotchy complexion is synonymous with alcohol abuse. :mad:

26. It's stress.
I don't want him to become ill and die. I want him to live a very, very long life - so that he will see first hand how history views him. (A failure, a liar, a criminal, a mass murderer, and the worst President we've ever had.) However, I think it's just stress. Stress can do horrible things to your body; can even kill you.

28. He's looked bad for a while.
And in every way you can conceivably interpret that comment.

But I agree, there's definitely something going on physically here. The wind has certainly been knocked out of his sails. Between the election, the Iraq Report, his poll numbers (although he doesn't pay attention to them *cough*), and most of his handlers bailing out on him, he's going through some real shit now. Well deserved. Long overdue. But real shit. I think it's been obvious for a while now that he's been hitting the booze again. And I don't know what they've got him on, but I think they tweaked his medication a little too hard for his address to the nation.

At least that damn smirk is gone.

37. He's having a mental breakdown...
and as a result is heavily self-medicating. Probably with a cocktail that includes, but is not necessarily limited to, zoloft, ambien and alcohol.

38. If his mother is any indication
they don't age well in the Bush family. Daddy looks pretty good still.

Junior looks about like I'd expect a 60-year old man to look.

human to be a mass murderer for profit?

Do your insides start rotting and eventually it starts showing up on your gray flesh?

44. I glommed onto this thread because...
I thought the same thing when I saw the 60 Minutes interview. He looked grey. Yes, more "animated" but he was SELLING something. He even said so...."that's why I'm here doing this interview."

I think his handlers knew he blew the Wed. night speech, so they gently told him "animate...animate" (much like you'd do with a zombie)
