Friday, September 23, 2005 What is Up w/Bush's Mental Health & Jaw Twitch? Well, if the esteemed... cough, cough... National Enquirer says Bush has fallen off of the wagon and is drinking, then it just must be true, huh? While I would not put faith in the Nat'l Enquirer, I do put faith in these guys: Crooks & Liars asks about the N.E. story, too. I would not doubt that Bush has cracked and is drinking again and since he was a former hardcore drinker, let's face the facts: Bush is a functioning dry drunk. But what I really want to know is what the hell is up w/Bush's incessant jaw twitching when he speaks? Digby noticed this twitch AND a new scrape on Bush's face. Another nasty tumble W? Hmm... well it appears that jaw twitching can be indicative of Acute Dystonia and Tardive Dyskineasia-- neuro-muscular disorders that one might see with involuntary movements of the face, mouth, jaw twitching... often induced by long term psychotropics, or tranquilizers. Here is a cache of Bush's medical records, no official record of any anti-psychotics drugs, but whitewash is this administration's M.O. |
