The Tell-Tale Tongue

Greg Palast tells us how to tell if Bush is lying (other than when his lips are moving):
There was that tongue again. When the President lies he’s got this weird nervous tick: He sticks the tip of his tongue out between his lips. Like a little boy who knows he’s fibbing. Like a snake licking a rat.
In his State of the Union tonight the President did his tongue thing 124 times — my kids kept count.
I wish I’d have known that before I tried to watch the speech - it might have made it more fun.
And every time he does it, take a drink!
Oh wait. 124 times? The hangover would last ’til 2009.
I didn’t even listen, because I was at work with no radio reception. And now you’re telling me I have to watch? At least I can do this with the sound off. Is there a “Mystery Science 3000″ version out yet?
This was actually a plot point in the fourth Harry Potter book/movie.
You’re right. It would have been much more fun that way.
Tongue thrusts are a sign of aggression, according to Patti Wood.
Tongue thrusts are simply practice for GWB rimming Jeff Gannon.
