Is it some kind of code or something? Found a page about blinking and lying.

http://www.essortment.com/lifestyle/readbodylangua_sjcx.htm

He blinks, reduced eye contact, fidgets, shrugs, head movements etc It is all there. The list also includes self touching. But I do hope the Senator has the decency to wait until he gets home. Hey, where are your hands Senator!

McBlink = McLie.......

1. to be fair a lot of his body posture is because of injuries when his plane crashe in Nam, but not th
winking, blinking, and all the guffawing he does with his face.

2. Nervous...lying...unsure of oneself...low self esteem
Just some of the reasons - none particularly desired in a President

4. He completely creeped me out with that.
And that weird, fake, sneer of a plastic smile plastered on his face; like he wanted to say to whomever was on the other end of his earpiece, "Fuck! Now what? What the hell do I say to that? Shit! Are you there? Just keep smiling..." (Not that I think he had one--nobody could sound that lame and be coached. Still, he looked like he was hearing voices.)

Cindy better stay the hell away from him tonight, that's for sure. No telling what he'll do.

I hope Sarah and Todd have their guns handy.

6. My husband said the blinking = lying. It was one of the first thing
he observed of McCain during the debate. My husband is a therapist, so it's his job to read body language so to speak.

8. 'Member how, during Palin's speech at the GOP convention, he stood there
gawking at her ass and fingering his wedding ring? Woops, I said "member". Ewww.
