What is it that's different about the way he walks? We've been trying to copy it here (hey, it beats working) and we just can't get it.

It may have something with being a jogger.

I was office manager of a medical practice where the doctor had specialized in sports medicine for some years.

An osteopath (in the US, they have the same training as an MD, plus the structural manipulation techniques), he once treated me by pulling my left hip back into line (POP!). From then on, my walk was different, in that my pelvis and hips moved more freely.

I mentioned this to the doctor, and he said, "Yeah. A lot of joggers end up with their hips jammed out of line and their hip joints become stiff. They walk like this ..." and he demonstrated a walk with a sort of locked up hip/pelvis mechanism that looks something like what Mr. Bush does.

Best wishes,
Jerry

If it walks like a Bush and talks like a Bush... it probably is a Bush.

My guess is that he's basically a kid who imagines he's the cowboy in the white hat, and that he's swinging his arms wide of an imaginary pair of six-shooters that he's ready to draw at the first sign of trouble.

Someone hurry up and call him an idiot so we can move on to the next Bush thread.

You can get the same effect by stuffing a corn cob up your... Never mind. He is an idiot. There, I said it and now we can move on.

Oops. Wrong thread again.

Best wishes,

Yea... it is odd isn't it... looks familiar though, I wonder where I've seen it before...

Oh yea... I remember now...

I also think, seriously, that people get pretty self-conscious when they are President of the US. I remember Clinton walked kinda funny too, especially when he had to place wreaths at soldier's graves and such. It always looked awkward.

"Walk this way."

Try clamping down on your nether sphincter tight enough to open a Shiner Bock (Texas Amber Ale).
Now hold it, and try to speak intelligibly.
Now hold it, and try not to blink like an owl at high noon.
Now hold it, and try to think with an open mind.
Now hold it, and try to walk.

Doesn't that explain everything?

Seriously though, I imagine I might like George Bush as a person, but his administration's policies and ideology are bad for the US and bad for the world.

Anyway, it's a waste of time to get mad at the puppet - the responsibility lies with the puppeteers.

I'm a fiscal conservative and a social liberal. And I'm thoroughly convinced we do not now have a Republican or a conservative administration in the White House.
