Did anybody else see the 'blink counter' on Colbert last night?

[krispos42]

Oh my god, that was freaky. Pelosi blinked 41 times, Cheney blinked ONCE! ONCE!!!

What is going on with him?!?

Does that strike anybody else as just damn weird?

If you get a change, watch it during th replay today.

1. Cheney is really the blob from outer space

and has no emotion and very little reaction to stimulation.

[GreenZoneLT]

2. Well, be fair.

I mean, he is a cold-blooded reptile; he's got to conserve energy. And putting him next to a human Jack Russell terrier like Pelosi is hardly a fair comparison.

3. That is a great comparison n/t

[Chulanowa]

4. He blinks?

I always figured he licked his eyes to keep them moist.

[LordshipLadyship]

5. a drug or medical condition?

As much as I'd like to think Cheney is an alien who eats children for breakfast, a quick google check told me not blinking is one symptom of parkinson's disease. Or it may be caused by some drug he's taking for the heart condition. Anyone DU'er in the medical field have any ideas?

6. I thought we'd all decided Nancy was sending morse code.

I distinctly recognized f-u-c-k-o-f-f (sp)a-n-d(sp)d-i-e(sp)a-s-s-h-o-l-e(eot)

7. Letterman Did The Same Bit...

But then watching the SOTU in HD, one couldn't help but notice Nancy's constant blinking...I was sure she was sending John McCain a message.

:rofl:

[momster]

8. Does she wear contacts?

That tends to make people blink more than average. As for Cheney's not-blinking, was it extra cold in the chamber? Reptiles go dormant...

[underpants]

10. -

Kharma that was exceptionally funny. Very well done. I just needed to make that comment.

[Tin Man]

9. Saw it - hilarious.

I thought both DS and CR programs were extremely good last night. Watch 'em in rerun today, if you didn't see them last night.
