Presenile Dementia -- Ten Years Ago and Now -- Quicktime

[drfemoe]

See for yourself at -http://home.comcast.net/~blogitics/BushTenYrs4MB.mov

The big story - "a striking decline in his sentence-by-sentence speaking skills." The reason?
One doctor says "presenile dementia" a catch-all term for earlier-than-normal cognitive impairment.

This video inter-cuts footage from 10 years ago with recent footage - the difference is dramatic and disturbing.

1. His Fake Southern accent is also much stronger now than then IMO

[Joe Turner]

16. Been noticing that lately too

Shrub is really laying on that fake Texan accent extra thick in the last few days. I'm sure his handlers have told him it helps him project a strong image and connects with southern voters.

Everything, I mean everything about this (mis)administration is contrived B/S. I get the sense that the BushCo feels that the election is slipping away from them.

[LibertyorDeath]

20. Yes the desperation is starting to show the next debate

will seal the deal IMO

[Mike L]

2. Dr Price is correct. Bush is suffering from early dementia.

[goclark]

48. Everyone, please nominate for the first page

Send it to everyone you know.

The media must see this.

Anyone in their right mind that sees this video will know for sure that Bush is seriously ill.

What makes it so sad, an I am not a Bush fan,is the way that he changed in ten short years. How many others that could speak that way ten years ago would stumble like this now? No one unless they are seriously ill.

Mostpublic speakers get better with age. He was on top of it ten years ago. His message was mean but not his smile. He had a twinkle in his eye that came from his heart. He is now a sick MEAN and OLD man. He is unwired and in meltdown.

It is so sad to see any body change that dramatically.

3. If he gets a second term

he will probably be close to brain dead by the end of it. I wonder if anyone will notice.

[drfemoe]

4. My bet is

wet brain by Thanksgiving after he loses.
Poor thang.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

5. A marked decline...

In communication skills. TIAs? That would answer some questions regarding the fact that he is accident-prone. I wonder if he has any cranial magnetic imaging done.

The evidence is there to see and understand. Causative factors range from the above, to tumors, to a seizure disorder taking its toll, to CJD or early-onset Alzheimer's. Alas, whatever it is, we know that Rove will never let that cat out of the bag. Can't screw up the meal ticket.

[Crunchy Frog]

7. No wonder he's avoiding

taking a physical before the election. I wonder if they would be required by law to report any such findings.

[goclark]

51. If he gets back in 3 Supreme Court Judges

could possibly be appointed by him.

IMPLANT IN YOUR BRAIN: 3 Supreme Court Judges

This is serious folks. Very serious.

We can call it all the fancy names we want to call it. He may have a combination of conditions.

We are not physicians. We do not diagnose.
I choose to leave all that up to the professionals.

I see our job as foot soldiers in battle.

We have a few weeks to make sure that every American knows that the President that they believe they know, is an Unknown.

This video is all I need to see.
Even if the Republicans say the Dr. in the video is the cousin of some Democrat,it doesn't matter.

Even if they say that Bush most certainly does not have presenile dementia( and I don't think they will ever speak those words.)

Even if they say that the Democrats are playing dirty tricks so close to the end of the campaign --- they are wrong. Dead wrong.

What dirty trick is it to compare a candidate in a past campaign to the current campaign? NONE! It is simply the facts. They speak for themselves.

The American people deserve to know this: Just the facts Rove, Just the facts!:kick:

[bacchant]

6. I still believe Bush's apparent mental degeneration is

related to enormous repressed guilt for MIHOP.

[drfemoe]

8. guilt?

That's a stretch. It got him where he wants to be.

10. Over at Air America, they're apparently leaning towards

a diagnosis of Korsakov's Syndrome ("Korsakoff's syndrome, with symptoms of severe anterograde and retrograde amnesia, is caused by damage to mammillary bodiesand other brain regions due to deficiency of thiamine. This is most often caused by chronic alcoholism." -- http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Korsakoff's%20syndrome)

12. What if every voting American saw this video?

Can you imagine?

Post it everywhere, folks.

Recommended for front page.

13. He forgets everything

....except POLAND!

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

14. A short but powerful film... what a difference a decade makes..

I never understood how gwb could beat Ann Richards, but I have to admit that his statements during the 1994 debate were cogent and forceful. I can't get over the difference between then and now.

I've nominated this for the homepage. MKJ

edited for spelling and clarity. as usual.

[Philostopher]

15. Anybody remember when Jon Stewart did that thing

on The Daily Show, where Bush as POTUS debated himself as the governor of Texas? I noticed a lot of this shit then -- that he was more confident and smoother when he spoke (though I'll be honest -- even that sounded memorized, like he was reciting words he'd crammed in his head, not like he was extemporizing at all). Not only that, but when he was governor, as despicable as his rhetoric may have been, at least it was internally consistent despicable rhetoric. Now, he's all over the map even when the speech is written for him, and he can't even pretend to answer a question he doesn't know.

Ugly, no question. Ugly.

[drfemoe]

19. In the Texas debate scene

though, I found it spooky, he wants to try 14 year olds as ADULTS?

:wtf:

That explains aLOT!

[RevCheesehead]

17. It seems that shrub could benefit personally from stem-cell research

[cheshire]

18. What is it with republicans, Has God smote them for the hate they spread.

[neomonkey]

21. This very important post found itself buried too young :(

so I will kick-start it back to life!

Yes, the message from 1994 was disgusting and repulsive, but laid out out with so much more confidence and clarity compared to the Idiot King we confront now, in 2004.

The degradation in his affect and physical appearance over 10 years is nothing short of amazing. Especially for someone of his age. Ten years means a lot from 3 years to 13 years or even from 75 to 85. But from 40's to 50's?

The other day I was thinking about the decline we've witnessed in the past 4 years even. I'd love to see comparisons of his debate style vs. Gore and his debate style vs. Kerry. There is something dreadfully wrong with our President. I would pity him if I didn't hate him so much.

I'm no doctor, but the changes in George W. Bush over the past year must alarm us. The American people must be aware of this deterioration in their Commander In Chief. And if they still vote to keep him, then we deserve what we get.

[drfemoe]

22. thanks for kick

I do pity, marginally.
I pity US and the World even more so.

This very ill man must not be allowed to continue in his incapacity.

btw.. I think my own personal performance has improved markedly from 40 to 50! Decline is not mandatory.

[Duncan Grant]

23. This needs to be circulated by PM, too.

Now that's a link with a compelling argument. The clock/timer really drives the point home. Could the man really be that exhausted?

It seems unlikely that a simple 10 years of aging could produce such a radical change (unless * was tweaking his balls off in his gubernatorial campaign).

Hmm, I'm going to private message a few people about this thread.

edit: clock/timer

[drfemoe]

I don't have room my computer for one more media player :(

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

27. I wanted to see the video again this morning, and it's gone...

does anyone else have a good link? This is so well done, and so clearly representative of gwb's decline that it needs to be out there, everywhere. MKJ

[Hailtothechimp]

29. URL cannot be found!

Somebody made a phone call about this.

[HuskerDem]

36. Huh........... I WONDER WHY IT"S SUDDENLY GONE?

I hope the page creator isn't on his/her way to gitmo. Fascist Bastards.

[HuskerDem]

37. NEW LINK YET ANYONE?

This smells like last weeks fish.

[King Coal]

38. kick

[drfemoe]

39. He Needs Bandwidth!!

http://www.blogitics.com/

Update - Bumping this update to the front

I had to, temporarily at least, remove the footage as it was devouring my bandwidth. If anyone can host the footage, please contact me.

*****
We are ravenous. I'm off to see how I can help.
I tried not to watch it over and over, but it was hard to resist. sowwy.
Watch this thread for new links.

[HuskerDem]

43. I would be happy to chip in a ten spot

'bout all I can afford right now.

[drfemoe]

44. thanks.

but he needs a web host . thanks so much for your offer..

It will be back up ..too good to miss.

[goclark]

47. THIS IS IT ! bingo

I can't stop watching it either.

It explains the entire picture.

Maybe wires, maybe not. Either way, he is scared to death.

Keeping him protected.


But this is the UNREAL deal.

This should be kicked to the front!

[napi21]

40. A week or so ago I would have agreed with you, but

if this is really a medical problem, how could shrub have all but eliminated his ers, ahs, ums, etc in last Wed debate? If medication could have done it, why wouldn't he have taken the same meds prior to a press conference?

[drfemoe]

41. He substituted

flying arms and yelling. Was too sedated first time. Too hyped second time. It's hard to get those meds adjusted.

Hopefully by later tonight there will be a new host for it, I'm just waiting on a reply for the URL. I'll post it on the main site (link above) whenever I have the new location.

Meanwhile, I'll host on my accounts, if possible.
Thanks for the interest.
This is the internet .. aarrghh.

I'm sure he never expected to hit a home run. But it is!

[neomonkey]

42. I think essentially he did NOT eliminate the ers, ahs, ums

I believe his lambasting style last Friday may have been a method of overcompensating for his physical and mental infirmities.

If he is forced to rely on deep, complex thought he falters and crumbles. By flailing about in anger and scattered emotion, he appears to be "on his game" when in fact, if you really listen to some of the gibberish he yelled last week, you'll see much of it is nonsensical, political idealogies aside.

The town hall format was actually favorable to Shrub for this reason, I believe. However, tomorrow night is back to the podium, he has to stand still, he has to stand straight, he can't detract attention with extreme physical and vocal mannerisms. Perhaps with any luck, we'll witness another series of meltdowns :)

57. AS OF 1019PM, it's working. KICK

:kick:

[goclark]

46. I can get it but I saw it before!

The link is absolutely not working for me today.

I am thrilled beyond words that you got this clip and others saw it.

Try it again now and tell we what I am doing wrong.

I think this is absolutely the smoking gun!

To me it proves that it is far more serios than a wire.
This administration is trying to hide the fact that he is seriouslly ill.

That happened with Ronald Reagan, after the debates.

Now we have internet, 24 hour tv and this video clip is PROOF positive that he has become seriously ill.

Did any one save the video and send it to a friend? Please tell me yes!

I'm beginning to think that they are erasing it or something.

Help, we must get it to Air America.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

52. kick once more, I just watched again, and can't believe the difference n/t
