I compared the Pelosi blinks to Cheney's blinks. Hers were 10-12 and then Cheney would blink twice, very quickly and then Pelosi would blink at least another 10 before Cheney blinked again. At first I thought it was contacts but there was no redness or other signs of irritation so I think she was just very very nervous.

I was thinking it might be turrets.

Try this experiment: pull back the skin on the sides of your eyes very tightly. You will blink like crazy. It's her many face lifts that cause her to do this.

I thought it was one of the funniest scenes in DC that I've seen in awhile, lol. I commented last night too about the difference in demeanor (and blinks per minute) between Cheney and Pelosi. She was so hyper, she made me nervous just watching! Pelosi was also doing weird things with her mouth too, unconsciously. She really needs to lay off the java.

Cheney looked very composed, intent even. Watching the chamber for reactions ... gaging the opposition!

As for Pelosi ... I have never seen a person smile like she does. Her lips are pursed then a flash of the teeth (are they false?) then the lips are pursed almost immediately and she repeats it ...

kinda like a shark moving in for a bite!
