    ....the Democrats were powerful and sincere, while the Republicans were uncomfortable, disdainful and deceitful.

    I remember when Bill O'Reily had a "body language expert" on his show from time to time. Even then, I thought, what a bunch of hooey.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        I suspect the body language expert knows who is signing his checks.

          Okay, but I wanna know how to convey power and sincerity. I imagine that could come in handy upon occasion.

            Hands on hips.

            Lean forward.

            Smile (but not too much).

            See, I'm not even an expert, I know how to bullshit.

              If it were useful it would be used everywhere and taught extensively. Sure there are “tells” but I never saw a reliable way to win negotiations, wars, elections, whatever based on “experts”. Prolly better than police use of psychics however.

              In this case you can be sure it is rhetoric.

                "Joe Navarro is author of the international bestseller What Every BODY is Saying: An Ex-FBI Agent's Guide to Speed-Reading People and The Dictionary of Body Language: A Field Guide to Human Behavior."

                STFU. He's an expert.
