Have you noticed something about Bush too? The past year he has developed a little "tic" (I don't know if this word exists in English - is it correct? like a little nervous uncontrollable muscle movement)

Each time he lies, his lower jawbone (his 'mouth bone') moves to the right.

Have you noticed this too?

What's so striking is that this is *exactly* the same tic that Nixon developed once he got into trouble over Watergate! This can't be a coincidence! Both were drunks. Maybe it is an effect of previous alcohol addiction.

Anthony Hopkins trained hours to get this tic, this little movement, right, when he was preparing for his role as Nixon, which he took on in one of the greatest performances in the history of film:

Yes, yes, I have noticed it. It's different from the 'deer in the headlights' or the fluttery 'blinking.' That jaw business reminds me of the bad guy in the movies sweating under his shirt collar when the 'heat' is on.

I'm somewhat of an expert on Bush body language. This expertise of mine came from necessity of watching the President's speeches with the sound on MUTE.
