Sadly he won't have a melt down, you heard him recently.....he takes time to attend to his needs, plus he has his American Taliban crew to show him a torture picture if he gets down to cheer him up, followed by a hot oil toddy and a roll in stolen greenbacks.
Please everyone...attend every anti-war/anti-bush protest, rally you hear about, we must be heard enough to make the (choke choke) representatives in DC listen, as well as that liberal media all the no-so-conservatives talk about. (They're not-so because they don't conserve anything, not life, not the economy, not the environment, and especially not the Truth, etc..etc...)

#1-6 yes
He certainly looked wigged out. I can't compare this with previous performances, as I don't watch TV.
I noticed two things in particular- one, the extreme forehead creases when talking about certain issues-- he did this at least 14 times. Best I could figure was that this had to do with things that especially stressed him, or maybe when he was pissed off or lying.
First time- "I'm looking forward to my speech tomorrow.."
There are a couple of long episodes there the creases continue to stick around--"On the security front we'll defeat the terrorists"; When talking about his guys going out to talk to Sheenhan; and finally, when he is answering the first question about Sheehan.
Second, what a "tell" when he was saying Cindy Sheehan had every right to express her view, but was shaking his head "no, no" at the same time. I believe the gestures, not the words....
Any one out there who knows more about gesture analysis?

Bush's mental instability is palatable, as the viewer observes Bush's overseer carefully and calculatingly anticipating Bush's delivery of his scripted response to reporter questions. Bush's "overseer's" body language as the cameras are rolling tells volumes about the tension the neocons are experiencing as pressure mounts from the public for the lies to end. Bush again becomes smooth as a serpent as the scripted Sheehan question is served up by the press for his practiced delivery. It is enough to make me puke just watching these sociopaths practice their "craft".
It is pure fantasy to think this piece of garbage and his band of criminals are going to go peaceably.

Take a look at the video [time: 0:19 to 0:23]; he's putting the paper in his pocket. Did he linger around his pocket to turn on his receiver?
. . .
Remember back to the debates with Kerry. He had the audio receiver hookup.
. . .
Notice his eyes as he's thinking-staring. I get the impression that he's listening, taking in audio inputs, while thinking at these times: 0:41; 0:57; 1:11; 1:31; 1:46; 2:00; 2: 15; 2:57; 3: 17: 3:35/6; 3: 50

Yup --- deer in the headlights for sure. I don't have time to review the video again, yet, but all your analyses about body language hit me when I viewed it this a.m. Interesting thought about the hump-machine.

Congress,
Bullshit Bush is at it again!!!! He's catapulting his propaganda saying the "anti-war" movement doesn't represent most military families.
"Bush said most military families have a different viewpoint than Sheehan. "She doesn't represent the view of a lot of families," he told reporters."
CNN: Bush vows to not meet with anti-war
Is he crazy? Or does he not realize 62% of the public is against IRAQ!!
What are the latest poll numbers for those who want IMMEDIATE withdrawl!??!? We need to rise those up to more than 60%!!!!! Staying in Iraq is not an option: NO plan has been evident!!!!
Only the United Nations can handle saving what is left of Iraq, NOT the united states!
Someone link to the latest polls so we can keep changing the majority.

If he ever admitted the public was against what he's doing then he'd have to change and he just won't do that. It reminds me of the closed minds of the Establishment types during the Vietnam war, Dems included. Even Kerry reminds me of the hawkish Hubert Humphrey in 1968. And, Dubya's statement that most people support him is just like Nixon's "silent majority". So, the solution is to make a lot more noise, so it's clear to everyone that there's no silent majority and everyone is against Bush. Wouldn't it be nice to see him crack up, have a nervous breakdown on t.v.? Oh well, it's not likely. I've never heard of someone without a conscience ever having emotional fatigue.
Nope, the only way to get rid of him properly is to take Congress and impeach him up proper. If that fails then we can just let 'foreign interests' take him out. I'm certain there are plenty of them who don't care for him by now. Just look at what he's brought on the Brits. Look at all the coups and assassinations which many think are coming from America. Look at the pressure on Chavez in Venezuela. Look at his interference in Ukraine which pissed off Putin. There could even be a 'coalition of the willing' formed, just to get rid of Georgie Boy. I wouldn't be terribly surprised. But, I'd just hate for him to die in office and receive a state burial and the tears of a greiving nation. He doesn't deserve that.
Speaking of the hump back and the possibility that it might be a transmitter. It's unlikely, of course. I mean, we have earpiece transmitters, so why a big lump on his back. But, if it were, wouldn't it be hilarious if the person behind that would suddenly get religion and start telling Bush to say all kinds of idiotic things. Oh wait, maybe he already has. I remember a Saturday Night Live skit about news reporters whose teleprompter stopped working and they didn't know what to say. It was chaos --- hilarious stuff.

The lying murderer likes the great outdoors but his administration had no problem reversing over 400 environmental laws and standards in this country. Even though Gore actually drafted the Kyoko treaty in Japan to reduce Carbon Dioxide levels which cause global warming (the US is the biggest producer), Bushit anti-science tried to refute the claims of 300 environmental scientists and Bush refused to sign the treaty. The Bushit administration reversed Clinton's Roadless Rule Law last July which protected 58 million acres of the last Western Wildlands for future generations. It was not a difficult decision to change the laws of forestry last December one month after claiming victory in the rigged presidential election. This made it possible for Bushit's oil, gas, and timber companies to go in and destroy these wildlands without even an impact statement to the public. Also reversed was an injuction protecting these lands from off road vehicles which severely destroys animal habitats. Developers build more housing tracts. People move into these last wild areas and don't take care of their garbage properly and this kills many animals including Grizzly Bears. Funny that he brings up our constitution, because no one President or administration has abused the constitution as much as this scum bag. Most Americans have no idea how much our corporate big business war mongering loser sellout CONGRESS has dragged AMERICA down. Freedom will ring when Bush, Cheney and all these other 911 coverup nazis are impeached and jailed. Here in California, gov Schwartznigga is not about to come oout in favor of an amendment demanding paper ballots in CA elections because he's part of the big lie. Maybe you made a few good movies asshole but your TV ads show your colors.

When we join together and withhold our purchases from some targeted Republican contributors we can wield power that will force the executives of these Republican contributors to go to the Republican party do our agenda.
Now, the agenda written below does not address everything but you can choose a big company that gives aid and comfort to the Republican Party and demand that their executives get the Republican Party to do what you want. You can excercise this power every day and you can get other people to join and exercise this power every day. What company executive would want thousands of people demanding a set of progressive agenda, every day with a legal threat of losing your business? Join me and I promise you a peaceful revolution. No need to go out in the streets, no need for first amendment zones, no arrests. You create a no buy zone for some selected Republican contributors such as Walmart, etc. Join me, please.
A political message from the Revolution for progressive legislation.
Here's how we force congress to pass a progressive agenda. Companies do not like boycotts. I suggest you email these demands to Walmart, Wendy's, Outback Steakhouse, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Curves for Women health clubs, each big Republican contributors. Also include Eckerd, CVS, and Walgreens Pharmacy chains. You can send this to other companies as well.
Send this email to your friends and to others on political mailing lists. Thank you.
Send this text in email or fax to a company you can afford to boycott which either heavily supports Republicans or should know better that we need progressive legislative change.
We demand that your company executives get the Republican Party to hold a press conference and accede to these demands and then finally legislate and sign these into law. Until such a press conference happens and the legislation gets passed I will boycott your products.
We demand that the Republican party end their aggressive and hateful action to end a woman's right to choose abortion or not.
We demand the resignation of Tom Delay.
We demand that the United States withdraw from Iraq.
We demand that the Congress of the United states and the president of the United States enact a law to increase the minimum wage to TEN dollars an hour and also to extend unemployment benefits for all people whose unemployment benefits expired after 6 months even though they still seek work.
We also demand that the Congress of the United States to not privatize social security benefits in any form including taking a percentage of the social security tax and placing it in private accounts. People can already create their own pensions with money after taxes in the private sector.
We also demand that the congress make all of a person's earned income taxable for social security FICA tax purposes and remove the 88,000 dollar salary cap. This will make social security solvent for many years to come.
We demand the congress increase the payroll tax in order to make social security solvent as well.
We also demand congress and the president enact a prescription drug benefit under Medicare Part B which covers 80 percent of medication cost, with no extra premium, no extra deductibles, no means test and no coverage gaps, and no penalties for signing up in a succeeding year..
We also call for the complete repeal of the faulty Medicare law HR 1 / S 1 passed by congress in Nov 2003.
We also demand vote by mail throughout the United States of America. This will prevent Republicans from vote suppression by skin color which happened electronicly and in person in the 2000 and 2004 elections. Demand that your state implement vote by mail with ballots easy to fill out and difficult to change or invalidate by Republican Party officials.
We demand Civil servants on every state payroll should keep track of voter registrations and vote counting of mail in votes in each precinct and not companies such as Choicepoint. We need to take the Republican Party out of the business of keeping track of voter registration and counting votes.
We demand States ban the secretary of state from engaging in politics especially acting as a campaign official for a presidential campaign.
______________________________________________________________________________
We do this in the spirit of peaceful resistance to a congress that refuses to enact this legislation

To Diane and Joan - I noticed the heavy breathing and gasping as well. Wondered how such a fit man could have such breathing problems just speaking.
Perhaps it happens when the mouth is contradicting what the mind really wants to say.
Sure handy that a speech came up in Utah. What do you bet, Bush does not return to Crawford for the rest of his vacation ?
Also, the group of "You don't speak for me Cindy" that is headed up by Melanie Morgan and coming to Crawford Saturday. Move America Forward professes non-partisian, but yet four of the five members all have Republican ties. Is that considered non-partisian?
Oh Melanie Morgan just got back from Iraq where she and her co-host served cookies and coffee to the troops.
Yeah, thats what they need cookies and coffee, How about some ceramic shields and armour for their humvees?

Paul.. For #12, yes.. he met with her.. he meets with a LOT of the parents of the fallen 1800+.. wanna know why I think that is? so he can sleep easier knowing "it's only those pesky trashy poor folks losing kids.. kinda funny actually, they die while I get richer.. 2 problems solved!".. During that meeting, Cindy was (or at least she claims) under the shock of having lost her child recently.. and it was BEFORE more FACTS came out about how your Shrubman LIED to get us to an ILLEGAL war.. remember any of that? pinhead? NOW, she wants TWO simple questions answered.. as do MOST Americans.. 1) just what IS that noble cause we're in Iraq for? we have starving people here, we have homless people here, our rights here are being trampled.. what "noble cause" is there in Iraq when the U.S. still needs a good fixing up? 2) If your war is SO noble, have you asked YOUR chilldren to go risk dying for it? if not, why not? Rich people shouldn't have to make any sacrafcies for peace, honor, or 'noble causes'?
Second, why do you morons feel the need to keep bringing up Clinton? You know, any self-respecting human already dislikes him for cheating on his wife.. and is upset that he lied about getting a hummer (but really, he's not the first pres. to get blown in the oval office.. duh? why did you psychos decide to make a federal case of HIS blowjob? really.. I'd like to know).. and are pissed that he FOLLOWED SUIT with what REPUBLICANS want (NAFTA.. less jobs in the U.S., more jobs moved overseas so "owners" and "stock holders" can make MORE money on the backs of helpless Americans).. then, you have a LOT of us that see how screwed up the DEMS are too, almost as pathetic as the Republicans have -always- been.. the only "bad" part is, now we have a total psychopath in office that is even worse than a Republican.. and, it's not just "him", he has a whole mini-army of nut-jobs in there killing our citizens, our productivity, our economy, and our standing in the world opinion..
No, really.. keep it up.. keep bashing on Clinton.. that does a LOT to help address the psycho in office now, or preventing kill our citizens for NO GOOD REASON.. really.. your mindless drivel of the right-wingnuts-wackjob talking points will do a lot to help this country "get fixed".. course, you're head is likely so far up your own ass that you can't see it's broken..

Wow...I just got around to watching the video.
Bush does NOT look like a man who has been on vacation for several weeks. Besides the breathing and panting, he just looks TIRED and STRESSED. He may be smiling, but you can see in his eyes that it's getting to him.
I think the ol' boy's just about ready to jump off of that mental ledge upon which he's been so precariously perched for the past few years.
And y'all are right, his body language says much more than his words.
As an aside, looking at the video, I'm just curious - is it really cool enough in Idaho to wear a jacket this time of year? If so I may be heading to Idaho soon *L*
BTW, I won't go into details here about my dream last night because it was just TOO nuts, even for MY dreams...but the gist was that the President, after being humiliated and laughed at in front of a crowd of reporters, totally lost it and went after somebody with a gun.
(I don't know what was in that fish I ate last night, but um..he doesn't really ride a skateboard, does he? Just askin *L*)

wow.. I'm at work.. didn't listen to it all (was about to burst and scream at my monitor).. but the comment "will respect women's rights.. the rights of minorities".. um.. he's either snorting coke again or hasn't been informed about what's going on in Iraq.. They are making it an Islamist state, and no law can violate their religious principles... which REMOVE women's rights (and the rights of minorities). Their constitution is being drafted in such a way as to prevent huge numbers of people in Iraq from having "equal rights".. the U.S. conceded that point last week (or earlier this week? I forget).
So, again, we have this monkey-man standing there lying, a bald face lie, to the American Public in an effort to drum up support.. his message? "They will soon be a country with a constitution like ours, like the one our Founding Fathers worked hard to make, like the one we've spent centuries tweaking to protect the rights of MORE people over time".. yet, his message is a lie.. Iraq is on the verge of a Theocracy, not a Democracy. When religion dictates your policy, that's a Theocracy.
Just like there were no weapons of mass destruction, no chem labs, not even reasonable war-making hardware (considering such an oil-rich NATION.. you know, like Saudi Arabia.. who has Nukes.. who -actually- pay al'Qaeda operatives.. who -actively- support terrorism around the world). Yet, he (and the morally defunct war-supports) "knew" they were there.. promised us we needed to get there before we got "nuked"..
Now he keeps insisting that a country that had NOTHING to do with acts of aggression against THE U.S.!! is "fair game" cause some day they "might be a threat"??? Okies.. next is Iran, then Lybia, then Syeria, then .. hmm.. Egypt? Africa? Austrailia? Britton? France? Germany? Aisa?
Sing it with me folks.. "It's the end of the world as we know it... It's the end of the world as we know if it today.." . . .

Hmm.. does anyone here know anything about any of the people listed here ?
I, for one, find it amusing that there are a LOT of illogical connections made in the article.. and, by picking up on 3 or 4 names, they try to make the entire "anti-war movment" seem like we're anti-smites, terror-sympathizers, and folks that don't care about world peace? I especially like the part where they imply -all- muslims will come and kill -all- Westerners once the war is over (if we don't "win", what ever that means.. I'd guess that's Christian Fundamental speak for "kill all the muslims").
Also funny is how they try to make it seem that we must all be conspiracy nuts to think the U.S. (well, they call us Isreal Sympathizers to keep it in their rehtoric of "jews versus the world" context) had anything to do with Sept. 11, 2001.. yet, there is EVIDENCE to support that theory..
No wonder 1/2-wits like Paul come here spouting pap.. they read this kind of junk and presume all people "on the left" (read: anyone that doesn't believe what he does) are nuts and out of control and can't think straight.. If they'd stop and think for 2 seconds (on their own.. which seems an impossible task for them), they'd see that articles like this are full of gross over-statements and assumptions, leaving no room for middle ground (wich is what -most- "lefties" I've ever met run on.. not the "radical fringe", which I have a problem with as well.. yet, they aren't as nuts as the "radical right".. go figure..)

OH.. my #52 above I got from RawStory.com.. the title of the article is "left helped bomb London", yet, there is not ONE statement in the entire piece about the London bombings (well, there is an assinine statement that the "british left said the bombings weren't supposed to happen in London... trying to imply the left was involved and it got away from them), or how anyone on the left had -anything- to do with it.. they just try to imply that lefties (citing a commie at one point, no less) are in ca-hoots with terrorists and aid them in their tasks.. funny stuff.. well, it would be, if these idiots didn't believe the garbage they spew..
Amazing to me that the wackjobs on the right try to discredit by painting a picture that has nothing to do with their claims.. course, what can you expect from a group that dedicates their lives to something they have no reasonable proof exists? Of course they paint irrelavant pictures and expect their sheeple to believe it.. it's what they've been conditioned to do since they were born..

Did anybody notice, he ended that with:
"...and I'll continue to meet with families."
He knows more American soldiers are going to die, and he just doesn't care. He says it so matter of factly, "I'll continue to meet with other families" as if its just a-okay...no biggie.
Also, does anybody else notice that nervous twitch he has when he knows he is fucked? I saw it in the debates against Kerry, and lately I've been seeing it very often. This president is on the ropes.

Bush met with Sheehan in the same sense that Tiger Woods meets spectators at golf tournaments.
He was the center of attention, not she. He called her "Mom," probably because he couldn't remember her name (or didn't bother to try). Sheehan described his conduct as if he were at a party.
Sorry if this sounds "foul-mouthed," but Bush has the sociopath's capacity for removing all feeling from his communication with others. He can't speak in public without being rehearsed or fed lines through a secret microphone in his back. As far as I can tell, he's never changed his mind on anything in his life...if that's a statesman, I'm a snowman.

He's a juvenile, playground bully type. Just never matured into an adult.

Yup. I watched his various dead give-aways during the debates & other video footage available.
I also think it's interesting that he often says the truth when he's most intent on lying ... case in point, "catapult the propaganda."

He isn't normal, that's for certain. Look at the contrast between his bodyguard's mien and his own.
The bodyguard looks composed, self-possessed, and intelligent. Bush looks manic by comparison. His forehead looks like a musical staff.
If someone had fallen into a coma ten years ago, and saw this photo first upon coming to, the first question asked would be, "Why is the president standing behind his bodyguard, and why is the bodyguard giving the speech?"

re: Shannon #61
---snip--
High doses of cocaine and/or prolonged use can trigger paranoia. Smoking crack cocaine can produce a particularly aggressive paranoid behavior in users. When addicted individuals stop using cocaine, they often become depressed. This also may lead to further cocaine use to alleviate depression. Prolonged cocaine snorting can result in ulceration of the mucous membrane of the nose and can damage the nasal septum enough to cause it to collapse.
