Why the fuck is Speaker Pelosi's "blink rate" relevant or headline-worthy?

Why don't they have a running tally of Dubya's Lies-Per-Minute or Cheney's heart attacks? Hell, let's clock the death-rate of US soldiers or Iraqi civilians.

Me, I'll take a blinking, honest politician over a glassy-eyed Reptilublican stare any day of the week.

1. Because "they" will point to anything and everything "they" can

in an effort to ridicule, denounce, and diminish one of "us".

2. Same reason the color of Gore's suits was.

They are paid to NOT report on issues of substance.

3. If you ask me, it's Cheney's "blink rate" that's scary.

Humans are supposed to blink every few seconds. Watching Cheney not blink made me wonder if it might be time for his handlers to open up the panel in his lower back and put in fresh Eveready batteries (still going... boom boom boom).

6. Did you notice that Cheney's blink rate was ZERO!!1!!

I guess that makes him not alive! That was the most interesting part of the story to me.

10. CNN had it at the top of their website

In their "latest news" category:

"Incredible Blinking Pelosi Clocked at 85/min"

Ain't that the funniest thing ever? :sarcasm:
