As he and his colleagues noted the historic significance of Rep. Nancy Pelosi's presence on the dais as the first woman speaker of the House, Gibson said that he and Stephanopoulos had shared a laugh earlier about whether she and Vice President Cheney would coordinate their outfits. I haven't checked the transcripts from years past, but I'm quite certain Gibson--or any of his colleagues--never joked about Dennis Hastert conferring with Cheney about tie patterns. (And I'll bet Katie Couric had the sense to avoid it, having been the subject of much sartorial scrutiny herself.)
What was worth commenting on, however, was the contrast in blinks per minute between Pelosi and Cheney. While Pelosi clocked a good 25-30 blinks per minute, Cheney barely mustered 3 or 4. If energy conservation is a personal virtueas he once said so dismissivelyCheney is a saint. The man functions admirably on standby power.

I figured out she was blinking in morse code.
The message was 'Bush's Fault!' Or, "Palomino!"

" watched the speech, I focused on the President, whatever Pelosi did or didn't do wasn't what I watched for.
Same here. "
Glad to see somebody else was paying attention to what needed to be paid attention to!

I agree with the "liars" category. I think the gal who O'Reilly has on regularly to read body language has mentioned that people who blink a lot are lying.
That's interesting!

This type of silly stuff we do as Americans is one of the things I love about this country. We can SURE laugh at ourselves and others. How silly and funny.

*I know their code word* *I know their code word*
The only time they all stood up en masse, without waiting to see what Blinky would do, was when W said "Darfur" - or actually "Dahfur."
That's when I guessed where the next Brangelina baby will come from - another FReeper explained to me that Darfur is *hip* right now.
Code Word: Darfur

She also had a moving mouth problem that night too--she was acting very strange. Husband said that's what people do when they are on drugs. I don't guess she's popping pills, but she sure was acting strange.

>The lovely Jane Seymour is a seldom blinker. She has gorgeous eyes so the infrequent blinking lets the viewer get a deeper sense of what she is communicating

She plays a Bad Mom in season four of Smallville. Almost all her lines
get delivered with a breathless, sexy whisper but in many scenes
you actually hear her exhale before she delivers her lines . . .

LOL. Thank you much, kind sir!
(I see the video now... the soundtrack is Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me"... right round, baby, right round, like a record, baby, right round round round...)

I was just wondering the other day if there are ever threads at the DUmp that are as hilarious as some of the threads here, and I don't mean just inadvertently. (So I'm pinging an expert lurker...)

Oh, that's just fantastic!!
(Played the hideous video earlier -- it was always hideous, looks like they made it for 25 bucks -- and dang! if it still isn't one of the catchiest tunes. My 10-year-old couldn't stop singing it afterwards, and the 6-year-old wants it on the iPod. LOL.)

Shifty eyes, too much blinking can suggest deception.A friend of mine commented tonight that it's now apparent that even when she's silent she's lying. LOL.
