Who is this legislator eating his nails?
Edited on Sat Apr-09-11 09:19 PM by wysingm
I was looking at CSPAN website last night viewing the extension vote. What I saw was hilarious.









I guess she's telling him the whole world was watching him eating himself up.

What do think she said to him to make him laugh?






See the video starting at 5:20: http://www.c-span.org/Events/Pres-Obama-and-Congressional-Leaders-Reach-Budget-Deal/10737420771-17/">CSPAN here

1. I don't know if thats funny
Its a nervous twitch, and it could be part of a larger issue that you don't know about.

2. I chew on my nails, as do millions of others, yet rather than going after this guy's policies
Votes and actual actions, you're going after a nervous habit that millions of others in this country share.

Geez, is this what Dems have devolved into, letting serious policy concerns slide while dunning people for nervous habits? Sad, what's next, calling out somebody's nervous tic?

5. She probably told him to stop because
it looked more like he was picking is nose and eating what he dug out. I know, he probably was just doing the nail biting but as I watched the actual video, I found myself wondering which of those two things he was doing. Maybe the lady saw a TV screen and was worried viewers would wonder which he was doing and it would take attention away from the guy speaking.

8. The next to the last image shows a CSPAN exec telling him
to cut it out.
