Watch this TED talk on lie spotting and then re-watch Guadagno's statement

[MrScorpio]

Make sure to make notes on how a liar operates:

Now watch one at work:

[TexasTowelie]

1. I didn't need to watch the first video to deduce that she was lying.

The cadence and emphasis on the individual words of the statement she read were completely off. I'm more likely to buy a car from a cut-rate used car salesman than believe her garbage.

[Warpy]

2. She's not very good at it, at all

She looks and sounds like a school principal reading a bunch of recalcitrant teenagers the riot act for doing something she did when she was a kid.

She's shifty as hell, also, with much blinking and sideways motion of eyes along with the over rehearsed reading.

My take is that she knows she's next under the bus if she doesn't manage to lie her way out of it.

[Voice for Peace]

8. way too calculated a press statement. that's not what innocence looks and sounds like.

she is a cheney wannabe methinks.

[diabeticman]

3. My wife when hearing this woman said "Me Thinks thou dost protest too much to be innocent"

My wife loves Shakespear and was watching some sort of documentary on his plays...

[BlueStreak]

4. I have never been able to make it through any TED talk to completion.

Bunch of self-absorbed people spouting hooey. Everything the TED talker says is true -- sometimes. And the opposite is true just as often. That's the way all the TED talks seem to go.

The Christie woman is lying because she has to. And it doesn't really help her credibility that she had to read her denial, and did so poorly. Her world is about to collapse around her. Her mind is not on this denial. Her mind is on how she can cut a deal to avoid prison, and somehow end up with some kind of career.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

5. I have a very sophisticated network of failsafe lie-detecting apparatusi.

Eyeballs & eardrums.

[Cha]

6. and your

gray matter.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

9. It don't take much.

I wish they could hook people up to a lie detector when they ask them who they believe in this. I bet very few really believe Christie or anybody in his gang.

[Voice for Peace]

7. she reminds me distinctly of this one

almost as if she had studied the style.

[stg81]

10. birds of a feather

[tblue37]

11. Turn off the sound. Notice how tense her facial muscles are, and how she pinches her lips into a

thin, tight line. I am severely hearing impaired (even with hearing aids in and turned up high), so I must pay close attention and read body language and facial expressions as well as lips to help me follow conversations. I am so good at it that people don't know I am hearing impaired unless I tell them--and then they never believe me until they try to talk to me when my back is turned, when I cannot see that they are speaking.

What I see is fear, genuine fear.

I see her experiencing that sick, sinking feeling you get when something has gone terribly, terribly wrong, and you just know that there is no way you will ever be able to make it right again.

12. So over-rehearsed. This is pathetic. n/t

[icymist]

13. K&R

[Kablooie]

14. "The suggestion that anyone would hold back Sandy relief funds...

Is wholly and completely false."

She is clearly nodding yes during this sentence.

[ashling]

15. I'm sure that someone else has used these same markers, bu

Her statement was too self righteous with a cadence which made me wince . . . and she went on and on when she didn't have to sort of like Crispy himself, with emphasis on Sandy money making it sound all sacred. I might have not been so hung up on that if she hadn't taken special care to say that Zimmer's account was illogical. ILLOGICAL?

She could say that Zimmer had misinterprete, that she was wrong, or that she flat out lied, but illogical? How, prey tell (yes, I realize that the expression is spelled p-r-a-y, was it illogical?

....as she goes on to use several logical fallacies to present her case.

[pugetres]

16. I usually skip the TED talks but

I did watch this one.

I saw the press conference earlier today and her speech patterns pegged her as a liar (in my opinion). After watching the TED video, it was pretty interesting to note the differences between the denial part of the press conference and the "just three months ago" part.

Her speech is slow and she deliberately enunciates each syllable. She also holds herself rather erect and stiff. When she gets to the end part (truthful part) about actually walking down the street with Zimmer just three months after Sandy, her speech normalizes and she visible relaxes her posture.

[delrem]

17. Her (NJ Governor's Deputy") technical observance, her cadence, is clearly rehearsed.

She's taken many lessons and passed the exams.

I'm sure I'll be excoriated by some DUers for saying what I thought while watching that vid. Nevertheless, at risk of being banished by many, I was immediately and inexorably forced to compare that vid to this:

Hillary Clinton Iraq War Vote Speech

I apologize to those on the HRC bandwagon for seeing this similarity - then posting my observation.
Perhaps

[oldandhappy]

18. TED talk was great, thanks.

Appreciated the TED talk. Clicked off the other woman when she was on the news. Clearly not telling the truth from the first few seconds. The way she tried to discredit the conversation with the mayor send me out of the room!

[kelliekat44]

19. Here's what I also discovered. Everything a lie can do...the truth can also do. nt

[Berlum]

20. Republicons lying to Americans

As usual.
