JUST ASKING: WHY WAS SARAH PALIN WINKING AT ME SO MUCH TONIGHT? « MEANINGFUL DISTRACTION

YouTube - Sarah Palin Winks At America

This worked for all the right-wing crazies out there. They are all sporting woody's today.

Take this embarrassing item from the National Review's Rich Lowry:

I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America.

You saw "little starbursts"? And you published this?

Rich,

When people are on the TV, even if it looks like they're specifically talking to you, or smiling at you, or winking at you, they're not. They're just talking directly to the camera pointed at them, which transmits the image to your TV. So if a woman on the TV winks at you, try not to get a boner.

My 7 year old might be able to make the point more clearly, if you prefer. Be prepared to play a lot of hide and seek first, though.

My dog thinks the dogs on tv are barking at him too.

Hah ! That reminds me of a story I read about Liberace winking at the camera when playing the piano back in the days of black and white tv . The little old ladies of that time thought that was so charming , they wished their daughters could hook up with a nice boy like him . Little did they know and apparently times don't change much ! BTW when did soccer moms all of a sudden become hockey moms ? More Palin cluelessness as she sounded like a cross between Marge Gunderson from Fargo and Homer Simpson's neighbor Ned Flanders . But she didn't know diddley !

Bush did a lot of winking during the '04 debate.
