(Since we were all wondering...)Pelosi's SOTU Blinks "Clocked at 25-30 per min." (Cheney 3-4)

Must be that Americans blinked one times to many at the polls in 2006. Did they even know what they were doing?

[beansox]

Her botox is wearing off, thats all.

[duckbutt]

maybe her false eyelasses were coming loose???

[fishergirl]

I noticed the blinking and then that mouth thing she kept doing! Was she eating mints or chewing gum? I found myself watching to see if I could catch her putting something in her mouth. (It was useless - I had nightmares last night.)

[silverleaf]

sorry that's the video of the Breck girl trying to subtly "out" Cheney's daughter for being a lesbian and catch a few swing votes of people who would be offended by this disclosure - since Breckie et al figured Republicans and "fundies" hate gay people

[KSCITYBOY]

Her face lift is so tight that a muscle twitch in her lip pulls her eye lids down!

[MizSterious]

I've heard that liars tend to blink a lot. I wonder if power hunger might have something to do with this, too.

[Right Wing Assault]

I wonder if she is taking a medication that dries out mucous membranes.

If not, she will say it was either:

1) "a mistake"
2) "a lame attempt at humor"

here's Nancy on SNL

[Xenalyte]

She was suckin' her teeth to get food out from them.

I mean, really. If you KNOW you're gonna be on camera for the better part of an hour, wouldn't you check your teeth first? Maybe even brush and floss?

[MizSterious]

I think it was more than nerves. This wasn't her first day on the job.

[GretchenM]

I honestly think it is a series of nervous habits she's nurtured over the years, and she truly looked to me to be a woman in internal torment. Also, she looked like her mouth was getting ready to blast forth with what was in her head, but she didn't have the mic. And I think that has been part of her crass power grabbing that shows itself in running over her fellow Members of Congress and anyone else who stands between her and a microphone, and between her and the chief source of power. She is a woman in pursuit of power to dominate others. In my mind, that makes her the wrong person to be Madame Speaker. She has already used her power to club the baby seals around her (less powerful MoC).

Just sent this to a friend: "I kept thinking she acts like someone who knows she's got a truckload of shady deals following her and one day she's going to have to hit the brakes hard and the whole load will come crashing down on her, and she's running scared of That Day."

[Fiddlstix]

Well.....
She fits all but three of those descriptions......

[mystery-ak]

LOL....there were several of us discussing her code signals...

[Gorzaloon]

More agravating than the blinking was the continuous rolling her tongue around her mouth. What was that all about?

She wanted H! to notice her...and THAT would do it! (She was TRYING to lick her eyebrows..)

[edpc]

Hussein blinked a lot in the videos he released during the first Gulf War air campaign. Most "experts" at the time agreed it was due to stress and his fear of death. Who knows why her Highness, Princess Pashmina was doing it.

[AnnaZ]

Perhaps you missed the part where she and her fellow Dems failed to stand and applaud when the President mentioned victory.

That was disgusting, and completely creepy.

[jackibutterfly]

"... all of the big liars and con people I've known never showed any of those characteristics."

Goodness! How MANY have you known???? :-)

[hinckley buzzard]

I watched the speech, I focused on the President, whatever Pelosi did or didn't do wasn't what I watched for.

Same here. After reading about it on FR I went back and watched her during the CSPAN replay. She really looked like she was in distress, between eyeblinks and funny mouth movements. Something was going on with her.

[dynachrome]

Maybe.........
