Orlando Sentinel's Scott Maxwell: Creepy Rick Scott Video: Blink, Rick...Blink!

Creepy Rick Scott video: Blink, Rick … Blink!

Political Insider, TV Time — posted by scottmaxwell on August, 26 2010 4:04 PM

I taped an episode of FlashPoint yesterday at WKMG with show host, Lauren Rowe, where we ran through all the recent election results.

The discussion between Lauren, Tony Pipitone, radio host Marc Bernier and me was all fine and dandy. (And perhaps worth checking out Sunday at 8:30 a.m.)

But the most memorable part for me was when Local 6 rolled a clip of Rick Scott that’s just downright freaky.

Apparently, someone told Scott that he needed to smile more, so as not to look cold and distant.

Well, in the following clip, you can see that Scott took that advice … with uber-creepy results.

Just check out the first 15 seconds, when the reporter is asking the question — and realize that the video of Scott is NOT in a freeze frame. That’s his actual expression the entire time the camera is rolling.

WKMG was kind enough to provide an advance peek at the segment that features the strange Scott clip here.
