34. 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.

2. It almost makes me feel sorry for him.
He's just too old and out of his element. He's way too nervous and self-concious on stage.

4. Who doesn't see the eerie similarity between DimSon Bush's
and Insane McCain's photos? We have had eight years of this type of photo ops and the world is laughing.

3. It's a good look for McSame, don't you think?
It's not like he'd be an embarrassment to America like current and past Presidents.

He didn't yank on someone's sleeve, or inappropriately touch a female, or make a goofy face when he discovered he'd gone to the wrong door to exit and it was locked, or vomit at a dinner.

25. McCain feels the young folks like it when he "gets down" verbally and visually.
He connects with those whippersnappers, that's for sure! 23 skidoo!

40. I saw this at the end of the debate last night, and just didn't get it.
It seemed like the weirdest thing to do.

Is it like winking at Joe SixPack?

18. He tried to say that he wasn't George Bush
Then at the end of the debate, he can't find his way off the stage and he makes goofy faces just like Dubya. What the hell is up with that? I also noticed that the warm embrace between Barack and Michelle compared to the stiff and cold embrace of the McCain's. Hmmmm? Do I note stress and pressure? I believe I do!!! This nut has cracked!:crazy:

27. Why can't he keep his tongue in his head?
Is that condition??

I know that several years of antipsychotics can do that to you, but sheesh.

35. They are very common in Arizona. It's called a Wasillamonster. Just run if you see one.


They are evil, but not very quick.

37. He put his hand on his chest several times, too.
Not the brightest thing to do on a day when Cheney had to have his heart shocked back to a normal rhythm. Fine, John. Act like you're having chest pains after sitting down for the previous 90 minutes.

39. He was sending a little body-language message to his buddies in the audience
"Whew! Glad that's over!"

unfortunately, that's what it turned out looking like.
