4. Perhaps he just got a scratch while clearing brush?
When I do yard work, I'll occasionally have a woodship hit me in the face.

Either that or Bush is a lizard, nd he's just shedding.

I'm bias toward the lizard theory.

14. Just for corroboration, someone needs to check his hands for
blisters/calluses. I'd be willing to bet there aren't any.

55. But if your hands aren't accustomed to hard work, even gloves
won't completely preserve their pristine, never-did-a-day's-work-in-your-life appearance. ;)

(Really, it's just hard to give him the benefit of the doubt anymore.)

Clearing Brush?
How many times has his face been messed up? Bender? Stroke? B. & D. with Condi?
Laura caught him with some cheerleader from his past?

Please call your Senators and have them stand w/ Conyers. This is our leader?

George W Bush under pressure
11 November 2000: George W Bush talks on his ranch near Crawford, Texas


These are not cuts or bruises. Something else is going on here. My layman's diagnosis is facial herpes.

17. I had forgotten that one
So, he had a banged up face while he was at Crawford in November 2001. Again at the WH with the pretzel. Again at Crawford while bike riding. And again this week at Crawford.

Do you know ANYONE who bangs up their face as much as this guy? I don't think boxers have as many facial injuries as he does.

25. Mine is: DRUNK
Spent the week on a binge. They barely got him sobered up for the Weds speech but did not dare put him on live. As it was he said 35 billion instead of million. I think these Crawford retreats are drinking vacations. I have never seen an adult man who has scratched his face up as much as this guy has in four years. It's bizarre.

50. That has crossed my mind as well
When he had the pretzel incident, I thought it looked like someone beat him up. I wondered who it could have been, and if so, is it a regular occurrance? Like maybe Laura, or his *mother* maybe there is violence in the family?? Might explain why he is constantly banged up, esp. in the face. :shrug:

18. Press will get right on it
Of course we can expect the press to get right on this and demand a few answers that make sense about what really happened, as they always do. Even the idiots in the WH press corps should be able to put 2 and 2 together and know this is why Bush couldn't come out publically for 4 days about the tsunami disaster and hid in the ranch house.

20. Exactly. Let's hear the truth for a change.
The President was unavailable to LEAD during the worst natural disaster in our memory - a disaster in which 5000 Americans are still missing, BTW. He appeared last Sunday with a football team. He appeared Wednesday making a pre-taped statement. He appeared yesterday with cheerleaders. What was he doing all week and how did he bang up his face?

28. He does have a puzzling propensity for harming himself.
I think there must be a medical reason for it rather than alcohol or drug abuse. If he was drinking or using again I think the Secret Service would just put him in a room with no hard or sharp objects.

31. A propensity for harming himself IN THE FACE
It's just too weird. Seriously, think of yourself and all your co-workers. How many ugly facial wounds have any of you sustained in the last four years? My guess would be: none. I think he's a falling down drunk. What other explanation could there be?

32. I think it very likely that we learn only of those self-inflicted injuries
which are visible. I also think it very likely that he has injured himself more frequently than we are aware because those injuries have been covered by his clothing. If he is drinking, someone in the Secret Service should make him wear protective gear, like a baseball catcher's or hockey goalie's equipment.

Nah.. I think a twig from the brush he was clearing jumped up and smacked him.. 'you might kill some Iraqis, but you aint geting away from me without me getting a lick in on you', the twig was heard yelling as they put it into the chipper.

64. Atrial Fibrillation
I saw some sleuthing by a writer about Bush's condition. The writer supposes that Bush has atrial fibrillation, and pictured with his article a thing called the LifeVest which some people wear who have this ailment. Atrial fibrillation is not an uncommon thing to have, but it's one of the more common causes of strokes.

The Life Vest explains the bulges under his coat during the debates and other times. If the writer is right and it's not a hoax, the Life Vest he included a photo of is an exact match with the bulges.

Not all strokes are major ones. A small stroke is sometimes completely unnoticed, but maybe he had one that was moderate....so he might fall down more, run into doors, and it would explain the spit sometimes people report seeing him spew while speaking.

This is a huge site, and I am new. Sorry if this information has been repeated elsewhere here. If it hasn't, and if people are interested, I'll see if I can still find the link to the story and photos.
