Thanks Colbertwatcher for pointing this funny video out
"I believe, the United States have maps"

[ColbertWatcher]

1. And those maps show how close Russia is and such as. n/t

[emmadoggy]

23. Bwahh!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[fasttense]

2. Very well done.

I liked the deer in the headlights look on Palin's face.

[Pepper32]

11. LOL n/t

[qanda]

3. That is too funny!

[JohnnyK]

4. Dan Quayle all over again!

Dan Quayle all over again!

5. i don't know if i should laugh

or cry. it would be funny if it weren't so damned frightening. I hope we'll be able to look back on this time and have a good long laugh, like one does after getting through a horrific awful thing in the past. I hope it will be after palin goes back to alaska and gets out of national politics. after obama is president. and we don't have to be afraid of these imbeciles anymore.

[LunaSea]

6. Ha!

Country First, Brains Left Behind.

[Tutankhamun]

7. She's a threat to all U.S. Americans.

[pipi_k]

8. hahahahaah! I saw the "real" interview clip on CNN this morning, and

let me just say...she was almost as stupid-sounding as this edited clip makes her out to be...


:rofl:

[Highway61]

9. Damn

Funny and very, very scary

[Pepper32]

10. I would be very embarrassed if she was my governor

They should be ashamed to have voted for someone so dumb.

How is she qualified to become VP when she doesn't even deserve the title Governor of Alaska?

13. Um....people?

This is edited footage!

the voice you're hearing was the voice of some beauty pageant contestant from last year

Miss Teen USA, South Carolina

there's a video on You Tube

[Ichingcarpenter]

14. Thanks ...... for pointing out the obvious..You mean someone didn't fart too?

I bet you are fun at parties too.

[pipi_k]

19. Huh???

Sorry I ruined your day by "pointing out the obvious". But it's Friday and you've got the whole weekend to recover.


Guess what...there ain't no Santa Claus or Tooth Fairy either. :cry:

[ColbertWatcher]

46. But, I heard someone fart. n/t

[Pepper32]

15. I've heard the original and that's what I was referring to in my recent comment above

I think most realize this is a parody pointing out the fact Palin is an air head.

[pipi_k]

17. Oh, OK....

It's just that the title of the original post was a bit misleading...calling it "unedited footage"...

And some of the replies sounded like the persons posting them really believed she was saying those things...

:shrug:

[Pepper32]

18. Misleading to whom? Very low IQ people?

How can anyone watching this not realize it's a parody?

The reason people responded the way they did is because what she said in the original is equivalent to what a beauty pageant winner would say. LOL

[pipi_k]

20. Sigh...

Because there are LOTS of naive people out there

And because the title, out on the main board, said "Unedited footage", which is misleading.


I mean, go back and look at a couple of the replies...it certainly looked like one or two people really believed it was her speaking....

[pipi_k]

24. Actually, I found this...

-----------------------------------------------------

Seriously...this certainly looks like the person writing it (!!!) believed it was a real clip.

Whatever.

My only problem with the whole thing was that it said "Unedited footage"...which was not true and pretty unfair, even as much as I dislike Sarah Palin.

And it's rather sad to see something being called "unedited" when it is, and then people justifying it being called "unedited". I mean, what if some Repub site did the same thing with Obama...put words in his mouth and called the clip "unedited"...

You people mean to tell me it would be hilarious?

I think not.

[txwhitedove]

27. Your concern is noted. However, regulars on this Democratic website

already KNOW Sarah Palin is dumb.

[pipi_k]

29. Sarah Palin...dumb?

I don't think so. Taking into account that there are many different kinds of intelligence.

I think she's intelligent in a crafty, scary kind of way.

And she probably has a touch of some mental illness that pushes her toward a particular religious fanaticism.

And she's woefully under informed on a lot of the larger issues that would qualify her for VP...or...God forbid...President...


but dumb?

nahhhhh

[Pepper32]

33. Helloooooooo, that's my comment!

And I just told you I was speaking about the original when I made that comment. Only a moran would think this was the real interview. The voice was not blended, the farting noise at the end, and that's clearly not her voice. Do you honestly think that was shown on tv???? How clueless can one be to think this was real interview and be concerned that others would think that too?

Ignored

[pipi_k]

35. yeah, I know it was your comment

Still, there are a lot of very clueless people in this world...perhaps you hadn't noticed over the past, oh...seven years...?



But that isn't my point, really


It's not sporting to call something "unedited" when it IS edited, even if the biggest "morans" in the world would know it is edited.

Let's say someone takes a photo of you and posts your head Photoshopped on the body of some person who weighs 800 lbs. Or the person takes your head and Photoshops it on the body of a snake...or whatever...

Let's say someone does one of those things and then calls the photo "unedited".

Is that fair? Even if the biggest "moran" in the world would know it's not really you from the neck down. If you would be OK with that, then fine...more power to ya.


That's my only problem.

calling something "unedited" when it's not.

[complain jane]

34. It's called a "joke"

The real thing wasn't much more flattering to her anyway so the comments were pretty fitting either way.

[pipi_k]

36. I really do understand the concept of a joke

honestly!!!

And I can joke with the best of 'em


but as I've been saying, it's not sporting to call something unedited when it was edited, and I don't care who the target is...


and really...I'm only one little person here. Your reply is pretty civil, so I'm not including you, but there are a couple of people who are making a mountain out of a pisshole in a snowbank here.

one person comes along and points out the obvious (even though the title is a baldfaced lie) and people go nuts.


um...wait. I just realized something.

Full moon coming on.


Ooooookay....

that 'splains it....

:7

[ColbertWatcher]

48. You do realize you're on the internets, right? That it's not a truck, that you just dump things on.

It's a series of tubes.

Look, here is a link to another video of Palin in an early interview with an Alaskan TV station:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf79MCuQ8jM

[Mabus]

16. LOL

While my husband and I were watching the clips of the Palin interview on the internet last night, I started giggling and asked him who she reminded him of. Without missing a beat he said the "ditzy, education-map beauty pageant girl. :rofl:

[pipi_k]

25. The very first thing I thought of

As I was watching that part of the real interview this AM (kind of sorry I missed the whole thing) the first thing that came to my mind was...

George Bush on 9/11


you know...the deer in the headlights look after they had told him about the planes.....

blank stare


only with Palin, I could also see a couple of little wheels turning in her head....desperation, maybe....

gotta come up with an answer...

and it doesn't even really have to make sense to the "base" voters...


oh, and the squirming while she was desperately seeking an answer...priceless! :7

[Mabus]

30. My husband plays chess and poker

And he is good at it because he is able to read people. In fact, one of the reasons why we get along so well is because we're people watchers. Anyway, you should watch the interview without sound. And instead of looking at it like Palin being interviewed, look at like you're watching a job interview from across the room. After you've watched it, what would you think of the exchange? How comfortable or truthful do you think Palin is in answering the questions?

To me, Palin's body language - her stooped shoulders, the lip licking, the way she looked at Gibson like she was a kid trying to please a parent, her hand movements, her blink rate, the blank stare, her breathing, etc. - and Gibson's body language - the way he twirled his foot while she was talking, his blink rate, his hand gestures, the exasperation on his face and in his voice, etc. - were really interesting.

[pipi_k]

31. I'm not real good at chess, but

I do like to "read" people...especially on TV

I too watch for the rapid eye blinking and the "I'm trying to think of a good answer while I'm lying" blank stare...

Crossed arms, crossed legs, relaxed pose, mirroring, facial and body tension...the whole bit

One of the other signs I've read about is when a person answers a question, which way do his/her eyes move...OK, I don't know how true this is, but supposedly if they shift to the right (the person's right), s/he is not being honest...whereas if they shift to the left (again the person's left) s/he is likely telling the truth.

Something to do with right and left brain stuff.

I guess that's what makes communication by telephone...or computer...so difficult for some of us. We need the whole picture...

:)

[Mabus]

37. It is a blend of things

You have to watch a person to determine their "baseline". Sometimes there are cultural or familial determinants. I can tell when my niece is upset because she cocks her head just like her mom, which is the same thing most of my siblings do and we all got it from our mom. Some of them, put their hand on their hip which is what my dad does and which is what his mom did. That's why reading body language is a totality of the circumstances deal whereby "what are they saying" and "how are they saying" it work in tandem. It's why I'm always amused whenever I see footage of Condi shaking her head "no" while she's saying "yes" and vice versa. She gives herself away so easily.

Also, as a politician who is currently being coached, Palin is more aware of her body language right now. So, you have to take into account that she knows she's under scrutiny. Think about how McCain, in the last day or so that he and Palin were campaigning together, was trying not to stare at her ass and/or play with his ring. I also noticed that Cindy's outfits were very bright (to catch John's eye/focus) and that the last one showed her cleavage. They were doing every thing they could think of to distract McCain from staring at Palin's ass.

So, Palin is being coached about her body language. She's being told all about her hand movements. She's being told not to fidget and to try to project as much confidence as she can. As a result, she was cupping her hands in a way that almost looked uncomfortable for her. I also think it was responsible for the blank stares. She was trying to keep eye contact with Gibson to figure out how she was doing in his eyes and simultaneously trying not to look like she was doing it. The two kind of canceled each other out and she ended up with a blank stare.

Two more things. Both my husband and I have worked as attorneys with criminal clients. We've had plenty of experience of people lying to us. Also, if you want to become a better chess player, in addition to studying games and working on your own, you should memorize the board and practice watching your opponents' eye movements. You can get a lot of information about what line of attack or defense that your opponent is planning by watching their eye movement. If you watch them closely enough you can visualize for yourself as they move the pieces & pawns around the board. My husband's board memory is phenomenal. He spends most of the game watching his opponent and rarely looks at the board.

Also edited to add: BAck in my old hometown, there was a group of us environmentalists/activists who spoke at the city and county meetings. One of the things we did was watch films of ourselves and work on annoying and distracting habits in speech, body language and presentation. It was something I did in law school classes (as part of the class) and it was invaluable. Although most of us were middle-aged, hippie, leftist radicals, we'd show up in business attire. One of our friends owned a salon and we'd get our hair and, if necessary, our make-up done. We went "undercover" and looked just like "normal" people and more people listened. ;)

[pipi_k]

38. About the cultural thing

I had heard about something which happened some time ago...and probably still happens a lot, as the US becomes more and more a mix of cultures...that a school principal had given a couple of first or second generation minority kids detention or suspensions because he thought they were lying when they would not look him in the eye during questioning.

He didn't know that in some cultures, looking another person directly in the eyes is rude.

Just like in some cultures there's a much smaller boundary of "personal space" than in the US... I forget, but I think the limits of closeness tolerated here, and probably in the UK as well, are about 18 inches for strangers...a bit less for friends, and less still for intimates....whereas in some Middle Eastern countries the boundary hardly exists and all and people are talking right up in each others' faces.


Photographs, too, are rather fascinating...Less so the older ones where people had to sit or stand in rigid poses while the shutter worked...but some of the more modern photos where posing is less formal...trying to figure out the friend/family dynamics from the way people are standing, sitting, or otherwise posing...

I don't know if schools even do it anymore, but I remember from grammar school having a book full of nothing but photos, and we kids had to look at the photos and write an essay on what we thought was going on in them. I guess maybe that was the start of my own interest in trying to figure out what's going on beneath the words...

[Mabus]

41. I point like an Arapaho

I use my chin and I jut it out. I do it because in my mom's culture (Southern Arapaho) pointing is considered rude. I remember pointing at something and my mom pulling my hand down and telling me it was rude to point. Then she'd show me how to point. It was also useful because, if you do it subtly enough, you can draw attention to something without being obvious. My mom liked to use "sign" language because it meant all ten of us kids would take our cues from her. It was the way she kept us under control. It was also a "family" thing that other people didn't pick up on because they weren't looking for it.

I remember back when, after spending most of the summer with my Indian relatives out in western Oklahoma, how different it felt to be back among my white neighborhood. There were little things like people seemed more distant and stand-offish. In Indian neighborhoods, people were more interactive with both each other and with what the kids where doing. It was the difference between living in a neighborhood and a community, if that makes any sense. There was always a period of readjustment from depending on one set of rules and another.

Photographs are fun to analyze. Especially, like you point out, more contemporary ones because they aren't always posing and/or aware that pictures are being taken.

When I took psychology classes and helped out both getting and giving TATs, exercises like having someone make up stories about pictures can be very revealing. And, besides, it is fun to do.

[Ichingcarpenter]

32. Always a good suggestion ... Turn off the sound and watch the body language

I do it all the time too on TV

I had to do observational analysis on students in classes
and it was on one of the checklists we learned to watch for in grad school

[Mabus]

39. I grew up biracial and was a psych major for a few semesters

Growing up biracial (American Indian and Caucasian) in Oklahoma in the 60's and 70's was a little rough depending on the neighborhood. For the most part, it was safe where I lived. We were the only minorities in a white-only neighborhood. I had to learn to read body language or get my ass kicked. When I got to college, I started out as a psych major. This involved signing up for various experiments as a guinea pig and later, helping to conduct the experiments and working with a lot of people. Add to this, I worked as a waitress in everything from a family diner to a college bars. I was also a bartender.

It's amazing to me how much people are influenced by body language without realizing it. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who does, let's say, more often than most.

[Maestro]

21. No kidding!

Thanks for letting me know. :eyes:

[pipi_k]

26. Oh, no problem, hon

I know you'd do the same for me...

:P

[King Coal]

22. Pork chops in the headlights.

[snappyturtle]

28. Too funny! When I first heard that ol' moose-in-the-headlights was

getting a network interview I thought the repukes would do a stellar job with palin as they did for mcsame at Saddleback. How she could not understand the pre-emptive doctrine of * is mind boggling. Does palin use the internets?

[Lasher]

40. This is fun!

I just emailed the link to some right wingers.

[orleans]

42. lol. n/t

[lumpy]

50. Terrific video

Be laughing my ass off if it wasn't so tragic.

[Scriptor Ignotus]

43. so help me I had this idea right after I saw the interview

hahaha.

[Ichingcarpenter]

45. Who didn't except the people that had a brain fart.

It was just waiting to happen.

[ColbertWatcher]

49. I think everyone who watched this video thought the exact same thing! n/t

[Jack Rabbit]

44. Frankly, I thought the actual answers the Mosseburger gave were funnier

[1Hippiechick]

47. LOL - I loved the back-and-forth look at the end, and then that weird sound. LOL n/t

[underpants]

51. ROTFLMFAO!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!

[ncteechur]

52. I recognize that look. I saw it before when ** was told that a plane had crashed

into the world trade center. All she needs is a copy of MY PET GOAT to complete the picture.
