...so... we're analyzing body language now?!?
Edited on Fri Jun-27-08 11:00 PM by NatBurner
CNN, wtf?

and the extra-silly part?

the idiot babble doesn't match the video-

"senator obama is usually a very animated speaker, he uses his hands a lot- and >here<, when he mentions hillary his hands are to his side"

*obama gesticulates*

what a disgusting display

*edit brought to u by the letter "A"*

1. They are clinging to straws. The rally went exceptionally well and they both seemed relaxed and
natural, so the bobbleheads have to kick out crumbs from the corners.

Assholes, the lot of them.

2. Fox News seems to have started the body language analysis...
...to let them show clips of Democrats without letting their viewers hear what the Democrats were saying.

I'm sorry it's spread to CNN.

23. O'Reilly has a regular feature on his show about body language. It's
over the top, as is everything else that man does.

5. I heard a lot of that...didn't see it. I thought about starting a thread, but
I was too angry.

and WHO was that nauseating bimbo:

do you think they LIKE each other.....crap like that

it was like listening into a seventh grader worrying about which boy liked which girl, and having worked in a junior high for nine years (last two in a grade school), I can tell you that this was at just about that level of mature discussion

that was really offensive, and that twit of an 'expert' had about the same degree of expertise as any wino off the street

PhD in what, suckass?

29. I didn't see it....just heard the voice
does she work that show?

it wouldn't surprise me, given that her husband is the really egregious liar, Dan Senor, AKA the skinny Ari Fleischer

14. he didn't do it......some bimbette. again, I was listening while planting
some stuff outside

she was aggressively obnoxious, really wanted to paing things in the most negative light. to be fair the 'expert' didn't always give her what she wanted, but it was still about as idiotic a segment as you'd ever want to see

can you imagine if they did one on Bush and McBush's body language toward each other, especially the scene not long after the SC primary in 2000, when McCain told Bush to "take your hands off me. and don't give me that shit." those sentences may be reversed, but it's almost exactly what he said

and how bout THIS for body language? never seen any commentary about these pics:

this takes you to screen shots of the replies, which they scrubbed after seeing that they're almost ALL very nasty....and very funny:

pretty hard to read, but scrunch up close....worth it

26. I know...
...I couldn't believe what I was seeing. What kind of election coverage is this? Pretty soon they'll resort to palm readings or checking the horoscope of candidates to predict their thoughts or policy positions. :7

This is SO totally ridiculous, I'd be angry...if I wasn't so busy laughing at them. :7

30. I had taped it from MSNBC. I had to mute it.
I was talking to my TeeVee.

I said, I don't want to hear what y'all got to say...dammit!

I think these commentators really think we think they are telling us stuff we want to know.
