Well, that was certainly helpful. On last night's The O'Reilly Factor, Bill interviewed "the queen of body language," Tonya Reiman, during a discussion of Nancy Pelosi's speech prior to the bailout vote. Conclusion: she's just like Adolf Hitler.
REIMAN: I think that what happens is she practices the speech too much and wants to come across as forceful and powerful, and uses gestures that she might think are forceful and powerful --
O'REILLY: So, she's practicing.
REIMAN: I think she does practice, yes.
O'REILLY: You know who used to do that, who practiced for hours before making a speech?
O'REILLY: So, she's practicing.
REIMAN: I think she does practice, yes.
O'REILLY: You know who used to do that, who practiced for hours before making a speech?
Politician/actor Ronald Reagan? George Bush? Sarah Palin? Politician/actor Fred Thompson? Most people? You?
O'REILLY: And I'm not making any comparison here. So, don't -- you crazy left-wing websites out there, it's not a comparison. Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler practiced for hours, all of his --
REIMAN: Well, he was a nonverbal -- yeah.
O'REILLY: -- all of his gestures and everything else before he went out there. So, if you practice your gestures, and then you get out there and you screw them up, you just -- you should just be natural.
REIMAN: Well, he was a nonverbal -- yeah.
O'REILLY: -- all of his gestures and everything else before he went out there. So, if you practice your gestures, and then you get out there and you screw them up, you just -- you should just be natural.
OMFG. Oh wait, he wasn't making any comparison. My bad.

Who? Maybe EVERY fucking actor that ever lived? Just about every politician?? Every CEO who had to give a speech before a board-of-directors?? Most people who have to speak in front of any large group?? That is just such OBVIOUS 'propaganda logic' - - find a NORMAL trait that 95% of the population have, choose some evil guy who predictably had it, and then compare evil-guy to your opponent because opponent-guy ALSO has this trait (which may well even be a GOOD trait! Jeffrey Dahmer brushed his teeth - - Barack Obama brushes his teeth - - COINCIDENCE or parallel character defect??)
