He was sweating bullets. I am shocked he didn't have to keep drinking water to keep hydrated.

I don't see how what he did can be anything, but fraud. Representing your company as a company that will partner with other companies to make them successful, but then instead of doing that harvesting them, is IMO fraud.

Sort of like the one of McCain from 2008 with his tongue hanging out? Yet another image to go viral from this debate.

When he went to New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, iirc. I counted (yes, really) more than 40 times he did it then. He wasn't doing the "coke jaw" thing he'd been doing, so I thought maybe they'd changed his meds or something.

It means he is nervous and engaged in willful deception.

"This can indicate extreme anxiety, withholding information and withholding aggression. Tight lips indicate you may be planning to keep the truth in. If you actually suck the lips part way in, you may be withholding anger. When you are nervous, your mouth becomes dry, and you lick your lips and swallow as you struggle to find the right words to say." -Patti Wood, CSP, holds a B.A. and MA in body language
