Dana Milbank's in-depth analysis of today's Sotomayor hearing (She blinked a lot)
Edited on Tue Jul-14-09 04:32 PM by Adir Pykhtin
When Leahy asked her to explain her controversial remark about the superior judgment of a "wise Latina woman," she blinked no fewer than 247 times during her answer. When Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) asked her about the same remark, she blinked an additional 146 times. Her overall blink rate, measured in BPM, or blinks per minute, appeared to be between 90 and 100. Sessions asked her about her ruling in the Ricci case on racial preferences. She blinked another 121 times.

That's right, my friends. Dan Froomkin was let go, and this pseudo-journalist stayed. Don't ask me why.

4. Dear Dana
In order to appear tongue-in-cheek, one must remove one's tongue from one's ass first.

10. Suggestion Dana, watch and listen to her mouth.....
You would learn more then counting blinking eyes. Poor thing, does he get paid for this kind of reporting?

11. Did he wear his "velvet smoking jacket" when he posted the latest drivel/drool
out of his rubbery mouth. The mouth that twists back and forth according to his WaPo Master. :puke:

12. What else is he going to do when the answers go far over his head?
Count the blinks - every elementary school child can do that without listening to content.
