Bush's lazy lip?

So.... was he botoxing his left cheek?

I'm searching for a photo of this, but it looks like the corner of his left cheek was seriously sagging (opposite side as the foam).

I know this isn't hugely important, but WTF is going on?

2. I would have to agree

I think the drool was linked to possible botox use, unable to tightly shut his mouth, allowing drool to escape

14. Could be Bell's Palsy...

I've had it twice...the first time my mouth drooped slightly on one side...the second time (6 months later) the right side of my face was paralyzed and if there was any spit in the corners of my mouth I couldn't feel it.

6. The foam was great!

Did you see the weird "sag" in his shoulders too? Probably wired again!!

Compare the shoulders of the moderator, Kerry, and then observe Bush's 'mysterious' shoulder dimples!!!

8. Yes I saw that and commented on it.

Something VERY strange is going on there. He either had some medication that caused it, or he has had nerve damage.

When he did his usual smile while lying, his right side turned upward, but the left side continued to sag.

Bizarre. I hope the media follows up on that.

9. Yes, there is something wrong with that man

I don't know the medication, but his face was displaying dramatic pharmaceutically induced symptoms that didn't show in D1 or D2 (which incidentally showed him in a worse light). He was different tonight, he was...medicated.

12. I noticed that too

And his left cheek was puffy. I thought he was sucking on a jawbreaker or something.

18. And what's up with the spittle?

Did you notice he always had a white glob between his lips on his right side? I think they OVER medicated him.

21. I thought he looked like someone who has had a minor stroke...

My first wife was a stroke victim, and she had that same onesided mouth droop.
IF SO, it would explain the need for an earpiece because even minor stroke victims have aphasia....a confusion when speaking on word choice.
It would also explain the deterioration of his ability to speak over the term.

24. What about the GUNK?

The white gunk at the right corner of his mouth was making me sick looking at it. You make a great point about the left side of his face, it's drooping. It's the first thing my wife commented on.
