God, god, god, cackle, giggle, war, god, god, god, god.
I hate American politics.
The laughing Giuliani is a grotesque that would give Bosch pause.
5: Ooh, good data point. Blatant anti-whitism.
Which is more disturbing: the Giuliani guffaw or his hypnostare?
Where did I read that Giuliani's giggle is his "tell" -- if he giggles, he's lying?
But those clips make me think he's huffing nitrous every time the camera's off him. And reminding me uncomfortably of Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet.
8: The episode of Everyone Loves Hypnotoad on the Bender's Big Score DVD is hysterical.
The Rudy giggle is obviously a mating call, and is clearly intended to attract the notice of Ann Althouse.
9: hysterical
Isn't it? The love, it is strong.
It really was weird how the giggle would start as soon as Russert started to ask a question. It was like a sitcom cliche of a stoner being quizzed by Dad at the kitchen table.
Tim should've said, "And just what is so funny, young man?"
I don't trust anyone who enunciates "m"s with their upper teeth and lower lips.
Mouth-breathers....
Anyone know whether Rudy has dentures? The way he lisps (not to mention the evenly shiny toothiness of his teeth) has made me wonder, but I don't know enough about how he's looked over the years.
14: You're not the first to wonder.
Bitterly: is Rudy's giggle going to end up in the NYT?
Oh right, new Futurama direct-to-DVD: rent/buy/perfectly legally acquire from the interwebs?
I recall him being lispy as long as I remember him being in public office, but that doesn't mean he didn't lose teeth as a young man.
I don't trust anyone who enunciates "m"s with their upper teeth and lower lips.
I think I saw a paper recently about a language that has this sound. I'll try to dig up the cite later.
I don't think that's it. I think this was a newly identified thing. Maybe it wasn't a nasal.
Nevermind, it was actually two papers about apicolabials, which aren't quite as rare.
17: They've clearly been out of practice but it's still funny. There are quotable quotes.
