About her winking

wink (razam, literally, "to roll the eyes"): The act or habit of winking was evidently considered to be evil both in its motives and in its results. The idea of its facetiousness, prevalent in our day, is nowhere apparent in the Scriptures. It is mentioned frequently, but is always associated with sin, in the Old Testament especially in the sense of conceit, pride, and rebellion against God: "Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at, that thou turnest thy spirit against God" (Job 15:12,13 the King James Version). So also Ps 35:19: "Neither let them wink with the eye that hate roe without a cause." "A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with froward mouth. He winketh with his eyes," etc. (Prov 6:12,13 the King James Version). "He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow" (Prov 10:10). See Watkinson, Education of the Heart, "Ethics of Gesture," 194 ff.
In the New Testament the word is used to express the longsuffering patience and forgiveness of God toward erring Israel: "And the times of this ignorance God winked at" (Acts 17:30 the King James Version, hupereidon, "overlooked," and so translated in the Revised Version (British and American); compare The Wisdom of Solomon 11:23; Ecclesiasticus 30:11). The use of "winked" in this connection would in our day, of course, be considered in bad taste, if not actually irreverent, but it is an excellent example of the colloquialism of the King James Version.

3. The evil-naughty thing must be true, because in that picture Palin

looks like she's trying to capture the Dick Cheney sneer -- that one-side-of-his-face sneer he always seems to have -- like a snarling dog leashed to a backyard clothesline.

Winking was not good…and she was taking comfort with a position America has not given her yet….her confidence in some sections will be viewed as a turn-off…

"Trust me", in the sense that a used car dealer says it.

Wink = Fail
