Photo: Yes, I must agree, he looks like a man who "did the right thing"


U.S. President George W. Bush is shown on December 14, 2005. Bush on Friday refused to discuss a report that he secretly authorized a U.S. agency to eavesdrop on people in America but said everything he does to protect the public against terrorism is within the law. (Jim Young/Reuters)

1. The photo shows fetal alcohol syndrome
according to all FAS descriptions -- one of the physical traits is the area under the nose and above the top lip.

Which is why she is so protective of her little boy. In her social circle -- in that time she would have been drinking -- social drinking is what they call it. Something with lunch and then something in the afternoon -- and drinks before dinner, and after dinner and probably WITH dinner. It is highly doubtful that she would have declined a drink.

The twins are simply acting like the role models they grew up watching.

3. While googling FAS
&imgrefurl=http://www.acbr.com/fas/fasmain.htm&h=269&w=414&sz=6&tbnid=KkLmPJP48lcJ:&tbnh=78&tbnw=121&hl=en&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dfetal%2Balcohol%2Bsyndrome%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D&oi=imagesr&start=2">here

I noticed that one symptom, among many, is "cognitive perseveration". Also sociopathic behavior and inability to feel empathy. That would explain a lot.

For a long while I've pondered Molly Ivins' assertion that Bush is not stupid. She has known him for many years. Why would she say that, seeing what we all see? Perhaps she's aware of the real explanations for his behavior. :shrug:

2. The downward gaze
Sign. 1. Rotating the eyeballs in their sockets to a downward position. 2. Bowing or tilting the head forward so that the eyes face the ground or floor.

Usage: Gaze-down may convey a defeated attitude. It may also reflect guilt, shame, or submissiveness, as when distorting the truth or telling a lie (see DECEPTION). Gazing down while--or shortly after--stating "I am innocent," e.g., shows that a speaker may not believe his or her own remarks. True statements are normally given with a confident, face-to-face or level gaze, which may be held longer than three seconds.
