What does that Palin "WINK" signify during the interview with Gibson? See it...

[WA98296]

During the interview, she says.

"That's the beauty of American election..." (where she then WINKS at Charlie Gibson)

What the hell are we suppose to think that means!?!

Here's the link, the wink is at apx. 8:30

[tekisui]

1. She's a bimbo?

[DarthDem]

2. It Signifies . . .

. . . that she's a fucking nut. I also believe that she may have been hyped up on something during the interview.

[OneGrassRoot]

3. She was nervous as hell and knew she was in over her head. n/t

[liberal N proud]

4. Maybe she wants "Charlie"

[dbonds]

5. Thats her safe word telling him to back off.

[WA98296]

7. Good catch, got it.

[dchill]

6. It means, "Play along here, Charlie!"...

"You know you're supposed to PLAY ALONG!" (Wink,wink.)

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

11. "Charlie, I'm giving you the fucking signal, ask about my kids"

[dchill]

16. Mm hmmm.

Ass right.
:)

[undeterred]

8. It means, I'll sit on your lap if you'll vote for me unca charlie.

[Sugarcoated]

9. Do you think she meant to do it?

It looked like a nervous twitch to me.

[Glimmer of Hope]

10. I think she was nervous and full of shit.

[WA98296]

12. That was a wink, full on.

[Sugarcoated]

28. Well, it that's the case

It's probably the reason Smirk did so much winking in the debates. Bush would smirk when he did it, as if to say, "We got these silly Dems, it's cool." or something like that. They told her to do it as a way to portray confidence, but Palin doesn't pull it off because she's so in over her head.

[Sugarcoated]

29. Delete

Dupe

[OneGrassRoot]

23. Me, too. Either way, it reflected poorly on her. LOL n/t

[Delphinus]

46. That's what it looked like to me too. n/t

[patrice]

13. Meaning is "that which is Ugly = 'Beauty'"

[Obamarulz11]

14. The Wink

It may mean many things

1. Shes crazy
2. Trying to lure him in
3. Flirting with him
4. feeling horny maybe?

[WA98296]

17. Perhaps she's implying she already knows there is NO REAL election

[patrice]

22. = Ugly/Beauty

[Whisp]

25. it means: 'charleeeeee, both you and I know that elections are fixed for the GOP'

nudge nudge wink wink

[NJmaverick]

15. The knowing wink between coconspirators

trying to fool the public about Palin's qualifications

[SDJay]

18. It means that

I Governor Dumb Fuck Fundie Whacko, live in a state where the man/woman ratio is at least 8/1, so any man looking directly at a decent-looking woman will melt to my feminine charms. It doesn't matter that doing so completely obviates my screwed-up religious beliefs and belies my shtick as a 'focused, all-business reformer.' I've always gotten what I wanted by doing this up here in Hinterland, so why won't it work with you, Charlie? Since I'm a fucking moron, I can't imagine that my 'charms' that help me out of jams up here won't work on the other 300 million people down there in the Lower 48. Right? RIGHT, CHARLIE?!

As I said on a different thread, this shiny new thing has lost its luster IMHO, as she's gone well beyond any necessary proof that she's a pea brain. I love it that the campaign is moving towards re-branding McFool as an old sleazy liar, as that not only puts the crazy old man in a defensive position that could provoke his temper and senility, but completely moves this dumb shit to the fringes, which is still a more prominent position than this ignorant asswipe deserves.

[sammytko]

39. Wow, this reminded me of remote military assignments!

I was stationed in Sicily on a very small airbase. The ratio of men to women was about 30 to 1.

The guys would hang out at the rec center when new people were due to arrive.

They called the womenfolk "Comiso Queens" - Comiso was the name of the air station - because all were guaranteed to snag a man.

You could be on to something....

[jazzjunkysue]

56. What SDJay said.

[saltpoint]

19. She wants her moose field-dressed.

But it's kind of an Alaskan thing, maybe. Probably entirely lost on Charles Gibson.

[CTyankee]

48. He's a Princeton man and women in that circle DON'T wink!

It's probably just about the most uncool thing a woman dealing with the Ivy League could do. It would freeze her out of that group of people so fast her teeth would chatter.

[saltpoint]

55. She's a bag of mixed signals, isn't she.

I like her less by the hour and didn't care for her that much to begin with.

[54anickel]

20. It meant, "How'd ya like the way I danced around that one Charlie?..."

"I had no f'ing clue what you just ask me but damned I just pulled a good one outta my ass!"

Then look at her face when Charlie gives the definition that accentuates her non-answer....If looks could kill.

[lurky]

21. I think it's a tell.

Of what, I can only speculate, but the phrase caused some kind of involuntary reaction from her. I would love to see one of those micro-expression experts analyze that clip.

[patrice]

26. I'd love to see them analyze some McCan't micro-expressions too.

These two just for starters:

At the line in his RNC speech about his "standing-up" to Viet Namese guards.

And going off stage at the Service Forum, after greeting Obama, ALL KINDS of stuff going on in his face.

[lurky]

40. I heard one of those guys interviewed.

On NPR, I think. I don't remember what he said about McCain, but he said that everytime Palin mentioned Obama in her speech, she was giving off "disgust" signs, meaning that she experienced revulsion when talking about him.

[stray cat]

24. The wink was trying to flirt like a beauty queen contestant that doesn't know the answer

[pinkpops]

27. If you watch closely you see ths also BLINKS quite a bit...

[Undercurrent]

30. I don't know, but

the idea of a VP who winks, and blows kisses is creepy.

[Ino]

31. the whole quote...

"There have been mistakes made (annoying tongue click). With new leadership... and that's the beauty of American elections, of course (wink), and democracy... with new leadership comes opportunity to do things better."

The wink was a snide and condescending "I shouldn't have to tell you this basic fact, but I guess I have to inform you and the stupid listeners."

[SDJay]

33. I still regret

that Charlie didn't ask her to detail a couple of these 'blunders' and explain how she'd have handled those situations differently. That would've led to an on-air meltdown of epic proportions. We may have literally seen smoke coming from her ears.

[ronnykmarshall]

32. She had some eye moco in her eye?

[AtomicKitten]

34. It means "Wink, wink. Say no more" as in no more questions!!

[Anwen]

35. When I saw that, it reminded me of Bush..

He does the same inappropriate wink sometimes when answering questions. Ugh.

[lumpy]

37. Bush does the 'trying to be cute wink' on some ocassions.

I think she has a 'lazy' left eye also.

[mainer]

36. It's a nervous tic. A clue to the public that she's bullshitting.

It's like Condaleeza Rice's hysterically high and unsteady voice when she lies or gets nervous.

If you see Palin wink, you know she's in trouble.

[sammytko]

38. It was flirtatious

She's a female who trys to get her way by using what she thinks is her good looks.

[Sonicmedusa]

41. Exactly!

She was asking,"How do you like my fuck me pumps, Charlie?"

[electron_blue]

42. I took it to be a flirt. She was flirting with Gibson.

[AZBlue]

43. She's trying to flirt with Gibson.

She's in over her head and I have a feeling she falls back on her "looks" whenever that happens (which is probably often).

44. Mudflats comment 8/29:

As an Alaskan who lives in “the Valley” with Sarah - like everyone else who lives up here - I am stunned. Simply stunned. Bottom line: there is no possible way she is capable of being vice-president. No way. She knows NOTHING of international matters, very little of national affairs and struggles sometimes to articulate points about affairs of our own state. This is just unbelievable.

Here is my analysis of how differently the two genders react to Sarah. First, to both men and women she makes a “wow!” first impression. She is beautiful - and she, more than anyone else, knows this is her foundational appeal - that’s why she spends a tremendous amount of time getting her pedicures and manicures and hair extensions and shopping for the latest, greatest clothes and shoes. This is her primary appeal - her appearance. She knows this and focuses a lot of attention and time on this.

So, she makes a great first impression. If she’s working from a mostly memorized script or telepromptors she can come off sounding articulate. She can work a crowd in the rah, rah venue very well (like she did today in Ohio).

But here’s what happens - she’ll be asked a question that she clearly doesn’t know any specifics about and you can watch her pull out a 2-3 second delay wherein she is working feverishly to figure out what she is going to say. But during that little momentary delay she’ll sigh, or cock her head, or bat her eyes, or twist her lips, or some other kind of delay tactic.

Men and women respond very differently to this. Women see right away that she simply doesn’t know what she’s talking about.

Men, on the other hand, watch this, and it has enough of a feeling of mild flirtation - that they just eat it up. It’s like some sort of weird eye candy for their soul, this little drawing her audience in to this playful exchange with, usually it involves her eyes. It’s so weird, and if I hadn’t watched this thing play itself out over and over and over the past years, I would think a post like this was crazy.

But. But eventually the guys wake up. Eventually they realize that, no, Sarah is not a conservative (fiscally, at least) and that Sarah is not ethical (remember - she’s the only sitting governor under investigation for abuse of power in the Republic); Sarah, with her track record of calling people she doesn’t like, “haters,” and “dumbass,” and giggling like a school girl when, on a radio show, the DJ’s called a cancer-surviving grandmother she doesn’t like a “bitch” and a “cancer,” and no, Sarah’s hasn’t run the “open, honest and transparent” government she touts. In fact there are over 1,000 emails she doesn’t want to release (sources say it’s because they’ll paint the clear picture of how petty and vindictive she is). The status of the emails is most heading to court.

So, no. Sarah Palin isn’t the paragon of virtue she’s being touted as. She’s not the reformist. She’s not ethical and honest and open and transparent.

And when men wake up to the reality of who Sarah is, there is this weird sort of self-loathing phase they go through; it must be akin to what the morning after feels like to some guys. Especially men who fall hard for the Sarah line - when they have their wake up call, it can be painful to watch. Men don’t like to feel they’ve been had. Well, none of us do, I suppose.

Sarah has never faced true scrutiny before in her life. Ever. The Anchorage Daily News, early on realizing she was more liberal and more socialistic, has given her a free pass. But I can’t imagine that will continue. The national media won’t be so forgiving; so willing to turn a blind eye and deaf ear when she says silly, nonsensical things.

But mark my words about the differences in how men and women respond to her - and keep your eyes open for the “Flirtatious Pause” that she is well known for. It only lasts for 2-3 seconds, but men and women respond completely differently to it.

[crazylikafox]

51. Read this post folks, I think we have a winner.

[Virginia Dare]

45. It meant "I'm laying on the bullshit thick here Charlie, go with me"...n/t

[catgirl]

47. The video darkened as I was watching it

and it reads "this video is no longer available", It still plays, but it's dark.

[krabigirl]

49. She was trying to flirt. Probably the only way she knew how to get ahead at work anyway.

[H2O Man]

50. A nervous habit intended

to hide discomfort.

[Cha]

52. In what respect,

[smiley_glad_hands]
