Well I said he looked constipated and like he was going to cry. This is close enough, thanks, Mr. Maher.

It's basically clenching your butt cheeks in the hope of pulling back up a turd you are pinching off. It peeks in and out of the hole like a prairie dog.

Best laugh all day. Just imagining Mittens "prairie dogging" will be good for laughs from now until Nov. 6th. What do you bet I burst out laughing when he comes prancing on stage for the next debate? $10,000 bucks says I will!

The one he gets when he wants to appear human. He does something weird with his eyes...they sort of crinkle up at the edges and then he pastes a phony, insincere smile on his face. Licks his lips, too. Mostly I gag when I see that expression. Wonder if anyone in his camp has focus grouped that LOOK he gets? They need to because it ain't workin' the way they think it is.

The guy simply doesn't have a clue how to appear like a human who has any feelings. Someone told him to smile and crinkle his eyes a bit and then lick his lips. He does something else weird with his head, like cock it to the side or something like that. And yes, he looks like he will start bawling any minute. Biggest faker I've ever seen.

I read tonight where he was down in St. Pete telling tales about the people he has met on the campaign. Probably had the audience all sniffling and reaching for a hankie. Maybe he loaned them the one he used at the debate to help him keep his facts straight. Seriously, though, I read where he told them about the boy with cancer who asked him to write his will. And assorted other touching tales. Like Mitt has a kind bone in his body.

Romney held a pose throughout the debate while Obama was speaking that had a look in between pain and amusement. I think it was his effort to muster a look of empathy but it looked more like he was holding back a bowel movement.
