On another thread I discussed left vs. right handedness. This after a Freeper told me President Clinton was left handed.
Remember in the famous Monica speech he wagged his right index finger at the camera when he said "...I did not have sex with that woman..."
In this interview, President Clinton spent most of the interview using his right hand to make his points. His expressions were almost all (actually all that I saw) on the right until the dreaded topic of Osama Bin Laden came up.
Then he not only became florid, angry and almost assaultive but he used his left hand to punctuate his efforts including wagging his left index finger. His speech changed, and if you forget the actual arguments he made, what he did was switch to Daily Kos type paranoid statements including "neocon," "right wing" and other pejoratives.
I leave the interpretation to the Freepers; however, it is apparent when he uses his left hand, he uses it when emotional, angry and speaking extemporaneously without the usual rehearsal I ams sure he relies on.
Finally, don't forget all things being equal left handed men earn more than right handed men, are more common in the creative disciplines and are over represented in college faculties compared to right handers.
He surely has succeeded beyond any conceivable measure from his family background. In someways he has a typical "wonder kid" type personality often found in alcoholic and other dysfunctional families.
One of my worries during the campaign of 2000 was that GWB was not lefthanded. The previous 3 presidents are/were lefthanded, and I was afraid that another lefthander would prevail. Luckily, W broke the pattern.

And in diagnosed psychopaths, and no they are not all serial killers. According to the author of 'Without Conscience' - a professor at U. of B.C. - there are probably about 2 million psychopaths in our society at any given time. Psychopaths do not have a conscience and hence lying is merely an exercise, nothing more.
