looks to one side or the other it will tell you if they are lying or just thinking. I can't remember which side is which but body language experts say its so.

with laughter.

By the way he has changed the story yet again and flip-flopped on matters personnel.
Contrary to previous positions he has admitted that he remained owner.
Willard made it worse, much worse. He was really nervous - he is not in control of this story and the visible shaking anger did not help.

he was even worse than I anticipated and I anticipated he would be pretty bad!

Asked if he had anything, anything at all to do with Bain, meetings, phonecalls, etc, and he could not give a straight answer to any aspect and even used the Alberto Gonzales excuse in "I don't recall going to any meetings", a dead giveaway, imo, that he knows the proof he was at meetings is out there.

Mitty answers give themselves all the room he thinks he needs from one end of the spectrum to the other.

I actually started doing that. I wanted to see if his plaster face would crack when (per the NBC interview) when the Salt Lake City article was brought up.

He was asked about decisions at Bain. Romney carefully crafted his answer to deny involvement in any personnel or investment decisions at Bain, not even attending board meetings regarding that. The terrible questions didn't follow up to ask if he had attended meetings at Bain on any other subject matter or if he had attended meetings regarding companies being bought or disposed of by Bain. Isn't there proof that he attended board meetings fore Bain-owned Staples? The questions asked of Romney were terrible and these guys have no business calling themselves journalists.
