"Showing a Confidence, in Prepared Answers" (NY Times)

[pokerfan]

a strained and illuminating conversation

kept inserting Mr. Gibson’s nickname, Charlie, into her answers, as if to convey an old hand’s conviviality

tried to project self-confidence, poise and even expertise

at times, her eyes looked uncertain and her voice hesitated

looked like a student trying to bend prepared answers to fit unexpected questions

3. Isn't she on the Faux weekend panel? I think so; that explains it. LOL n/t

4. Fingernails on a chalkboard

I found her repeating "Charlie" several times in every answer very annoying. It sounded condescending and desperate at the same time. :puke:

10. She is accustomed to getting her way by using her looks.

Charlie would have none of it, I'll give him that.

5. "Mr. Gibson, who sat back in his chair ...

"... impatiently wriggling his foot, had the skeptical, annoyed tone of a university president who agrees to interview the daughter of a trustee but doesn’t believe she merits admission."

HAHAHAHAHA!

6. I didn't notice Charlie's foot wiggling but I definately saw hers often

That was because I really liked her shoes, but that's all I liked. No, she was the impatient, snooty one. His body language looked relaxed and open as opposed to her hunching over like she had something to hide.I'll have to go back and watch it again. Washington Journal is now taking questions about how people think she did. Got to tune in.

7. I put a poll up asking what the worst part of the interview was ...

8. really sick to have her even out in this realm - this is all about the right wing fanatics

who would vote for someone without a brain if it furthered their agenda - we have a nice intelligent man and they want this dimwit
