blink, blink

avatar

Has anybody out there noticed McShame's bizarre blinking. When he's making a speech or answering a question on the tube his eyes go into a rapid fire blink mode. When he made his famous speech with the lime green back ground, he always got that sick, face smile and went blink-blink-blink before said, "That's not change you can believe in."

 I find myself watching his loopy blinking instead of whatever it is he's trying to say, which ordinarily isn't much, true. I Googled "rapid blinking" and found there are a number of explanations for a rapid blink rate, pressure being among them. This is apparently a personal tic that he can't control.

 I say a simple, cheap tactic--likely reprehensible--would be to use the web to call attention to this blinking so that people will be watching his bizarre blinking for the next couple of months rather than listening to whatever deceptive nonsense that he's spouting.
