Romney's inappropriate and nervous laughter indicator of lying?

[kentuck]

He laughs at the most inappropriate times. What is funny with a question about your taxes? Like some liars will blink their eyes more quickly, Romney has a very irritating and dismissive laugh to try and brush off any questions that he doesn't like. As when he was asked by ABC News if there were any years in which he paid less than 13.9% in taxes. He pretended not to know. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/transcript-david-muir-interview-mitt-romney/story?id=16881787#.UCJusqDvxCg (At about the 2:30 point of the clip) He's been laughing a lot lately.

PORTSMOUTH, VA—According to increasingly concerned campaign sources, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney entered his 400th consecutive hour of uneasy chuckling Monday, apparently stuck in an endless loop of discomfort and apprehension that so far has shown no sign of abating.

Staffers confirmed Romney’s interminable nervous laughter has prevented him from sleeping, eating, or speaking a word for the past 16 days, leaving him visibly fatigued and haggard. Yet the presumptive GOP nominee has maintained a full schedule of campaign appearances, reportedly attending fundraisers, headlining rallies, and sitting for televised interviews, all while emitting an unending stream of anxious chuckles.

“Mitt will chuckle for 10 to 12 seconds at a time, pause for a moment, and then start right over again from the top,” said campaign manager Matt Rhoades, who explained how the candidate will take the podium in front of veterans groups or high-profile donors and chuckle uncomfortably for his entire allotted speaking time. “You can tell by the desperation on his face and in his body language that he wants nothing more than to stop chuckling, but he can’t. He’s just trapped in this infinite loop.”

“Last night I put my ear to the door of his hotel room after he was in bed, and I could still hear him chuckling in there,” Rhoades continued. “Everyone’s really worried about him.”

6. There was a group of people featured on 60 Minutes a few years ago

Who could always tell when someone was lying and laughed at times when viewing a Nixon speech. It would be interesting to get their reactions to the Mittster.

9. It Is A Very Obvious Tell, Sir

Laughter is a joint thing, something people share, that makes them feel in common, and a bit of a chuckle or grin is a thing liars often find themselves resorting to in an attempt to get people listening to go along with the tale, as if they themselves were saying or feeling what the liar is.

"Romney loves America like a tick loves a dog."

10. Thanks Magistrate.

It would be great to have one of those little "laugh boxes" that you could push a button and listen to it laugh uncontrollably. It would be much more real than Mitt Romney.

11. Thanks! Now you've tipped him off!

Eh. He isn't smart enough to understand so I guess it doesn't matter.

Good point, though.

13. Same thing during one of their debates

"Are you going to release your tax returns, like your father did?"

*Laugh* "Maybe". *Laugh*
