1. Damn, Bloomberg's sign language interpreter is good!

[Whisp]

2. she sure is.

I couldn't keep my eyes off of her. What a talent.

[Jennicut]

3. Lydia Callis has become famous! And well loved.

[cui bono]

5. Funny thing is, I was watching a clip of her and Bloomberg on MSNBC and every time he spoke Spanish

she stopped then started back up again when he spoke English. That made me wonder... all deaf people can hear and understand Spanish?

[Jennicut]

6. Maybe she was shocked at how awful Bloomberg's Spanish was?

He probably got the words right but sounded so funny.

7. I don't think she's deaf.

My understanding is several in her family are deaf. She does seem to be quite the sensation.

[cui bono]

13. LOL... you missed my point completely. ;)

She's interpreting for the deaf. So if she stops when he speaks Spanish she appears to presume that the deaf don't need that info in ASL, so I jokingly speculated that all deaf can hear and understand Spanish.

12. maybe she doesn't understand spanish?

eta: sign language is universal, right? so she doesn't want to be redundant, perhaps.

[cui bono]

14. Yes, I'm sure that's what it is, one of those. I was really just making a joke

since that's how it appeared to me.

15. that reminds me of something that happened years ago

when i was working in a glass shop in Gardena. one of the guys was being sent to pick up fish and chips for lunch and he was told to ask the other girl in the office if she wanted some. she said no, and the kid went back to the shop and asked, "is that right? girls don't like fish?"

you probably had to be there...

[cui bono]

17. LOL

Yep. Probably had to be there.

[Jennicut]

4. Wow.

Only way to get around right now I guess.

8. An uncharitable thought went through my head when I saw the flooded convertible Bentley. nt

[Smarmie Doofus]

9. Spectacular, riveting footage...... but hideous soundtrack.

I couldn't make it to the end.

[ToxMarz]

10. No volume control?

[PotatoChip]

11. I agree. Had to mute it.

But other than that, and the misspelling of the word 'incident' at the very end, good video.

[lumberjack_jeff]

16. I liked it, even though it wasn't quite the right mood. n/t
