Did they ever have it over there at the National Review / The Corner? If they did, they’ve since lost it. Here’s Rich Lowry, who seems to think the people on tv are looking at him, personally:
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. This is a quality that can’t be learned; it’s either something you have or you don’t, and man, she’s got it.
He says he’s not alone in this. Anyone?
gag me with a spoon! Maybe I’m just jealous because I got none of those little starbursts.
NMC says i can’t say she’s do-able…. so…. she’s not do-able…
no starbusts for me, either. I said: “Oh no, the wink!”
Ol’ Rich needs to get out and about and spread his charmin’ self around a bit more. He’s gotta learn that little chippies like her can get a man in a world of trouble. She’s just workin’ for a big tip.
Y’all duck … there’s probably gonna be a lotta incoming from Georgette.
I think I’m gonna hide under my desk, Ben.
Memo to Rich:
You’re supposed to SIP the Doubledecker Planters Punch.
LOL, Phantom.
I counted three winks in all. My grandfather used to wink when he told an UN-TRUTH. “Just kidding,” he meant. ‘Would have to go back and see what she was saying at each wink…hmmmm….
Given the disturbing propensity for GOP males to think that Ann Coulter is “hot,” and now the crushes on Palin, I have to think that they’re not getting enough action.
just think of mccain’s slithering pointy tongue and her wink…what a combination! mccain just said “viva la baracuda” – i swear he did at a rally. this is beginning to sound like an elmore leonard or carl hiassen novel gone bad!
I have to believe the reason obama’s support from women is increasing is partly due to her “flirting” with their men.
Creepy, very creepy . . . . I just hope he wasn’t eating Cheetos when she winked at him.
never mind
It is not good to lust after a married woman.
She’s just winkin’ cuz she’s lyin’ gosh darnit…not flirtin’ jus joshin’…
I think you’re committing some sort of logical fallacy to say flirting and lying can’t both be expressed the exact same expression.
personally, I think they’re both what was happening.
Hey Steve-even Jimmy Carter fessed to lusting in his heart.
Jimmy Carter, along with Gerald Ford and Harry Truman, was an honest man. Admitting one’s lust is good. Acting on it is not. But, she sure is cute, fetching. And she can kill and dress a moose. I get woozie just thinking about her (I wonder if she likes to ice fish). And, I know I should not. I know, . . . . . .
Don’t feel bad, Steve, she makes most people woozie. All kinds of woozie.
I’m not fully getting it here.
She’s an attractive woman. But when I listen to her talk, about essentially anything, all I can’t think is “Please, deliver me from having to hear this woman one second after November 4th.”
All I want is to know that someday, she’ll be the subject of a “where are they now story,” about “do you remember the Republican vice presidential nominee in 2008?”
Steve @ 17 heh!
#19 Good man, NMC-you’re thinking with your head and not your—uhhh–other brain.
I just saw those winks again on CNN and they don’t correspond to anything she is saying.Well maybe on one she was winking at her dad because she was mentioning him when she winked.
Psalms 35:19 NIV
Let not those gloat over me who are my enemies without cause; let not those who hate me without reason maliciously wink the eye
there is more about winking in the bible…none are good…lol…this is not to impress my beliefs on fellow bloggers but just very interesting
Proverbs 6:12, 13
A naughty person a wicked man walketh with a froward mouth 13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
Proverbs 16:30 NIV
He who winks with his eye is plotting perversity; he who purses his lips is bent on evil.
A reader of Andrew Sullivan speaks for me:
Standing O, whoever you are.
