Alright, I’m no expert on body language. I have zero degrees and absolutely no qualifiers that make me knowledgeable on paper, but I’m darn good at reading people for the most part.

I just watched this video, and I must say – the woman is speaking from the note cards in her head, and she’s saying things that she – deep down – doesn’t agree with.

Let’s start with the basics of communication. Shaking your head means no, so when you say something like “I believe that is the right thing,” and you’re head is pointing from one 45 degree angle to another repeatedly, it implies that you do NOT believe that is the right thing.

That’s just what Mrs. Bush did when she was speaking about legalizing gay marriage. She may agree that it’s coming [which she honestly promotes with a nod], but she doesn’t completely agree with the fact that it should be between anyone. Could this be because she plans to run for some sort of office? Hey, that’d win her the gay vote, maybe.

It might also serve to separate her as a person from good ol’ Dubya. If the public starts to give her a separate identity, and a positive one with a liberal side, then she can both gain the support of the unsuspecting Dubya supporters who don’t care if she supports gay marriage [I mean SOMEone voted him in, right?....Right?!] and those that wouldn’t support Dubya again if you paid them due to their liberal common sense [like the messaging there?].

Touche, former first lady. Hell, it’d work on me if you made a promise to actively support legalizing gay marriage AND repealing the don’t ask don’t tell policy.

I’m a sucker for 1st amendment rights.
