3. Well
I see someone hungrily looking for attention, but maybe that's just me.

7. I don't know if what I'm seeing is what actually is going on
but to me it appears that Crazy Eyes is extending her political glad-hand to various & sundry passersby & this young woman is having none of it. Her facial expression is cunning in its shunning. Whether that's it or not, it looks to me like MB got left hangin'.

Also...get a load of those fingernails! Looks like lethal weaponry to me.

Edited on Sun Aug-14-11 04:11 AM by AsahinaKimi
She was handing off a political football and fumbled it.. oh wait, she's in stripes! Where is her whistle? "Intentional foul.. Illegal use of the hands! 15 yard penalty..." Wait..those stripes are going the wrong way!



oh man, is it football season yet?

11. sort of looks like "give me the cell phone"
maybe this is the person that took the hotdog photo?

Seriously, it does look like the woman is shunning the attempt politico handshake.

12. Either the woman doesn't know she is putting her hand out for a shake or

Michelle is reaching for someone's hand just outside the picture. Probably nothing.

13. Do you have your glasses on?
It seems pretty clear that the woman is trying to ignore Bachmann

16. How can ANYTHING be "pretty clear"? Its a still picture. There is no way to know
just what is actually going on right then. No way at all.

17. It's a breakfast for Michele with her supporters. Why would a supporter purposely ignore her?
The lady is probably simply not looking. Now if Michelle tried to shake my hand, then it would be an awkward moment!

18. Not quite
The event was the PURSE/Voices of Conservative Women breakfast for the Ames Poll. Six of the repub candidates were scheduled to attend (Pawlenty was definitely there) and Gingrich was the guest speaker at their luncheon later that day. This breakfast wasn't just for Michele.
