Chris Christie's wife, Mary Pat's face today...

why do I get the feeling that even when this woman smiles and laughs her eyes seem so sad? I might be reading more into this than I should but she strikes me as having some deep sadness behind those eyes.

I mentioned this to my husband and he just said "I'm not gonna go there!"

Hmm...

I had to look it up, myself. Not everyone knows who is married to whom, I think.

or maybe he saves his anger for strangers in crowds...

But I remember something Chris Matthews once said about CC, that "men like him but women are afraid of him..."

Personally, I couldn't stand to live with the rude bully. Aside from the fact that I find him physically repellent.

Better a sad face than a clown face:



YIKES.

Edit to add:

When People Say You Always Looks Angry/Upset/Worried/etc

A surprisingly common problem people have is when their neutral or resting facial expression sends the wrong message about how they're feeling. They may be told they often look:

Angry / grouchy
Sad / upset
Worried / stunned
Snobby / bitchy / quietly judging everyone
Hostile / looking for a fight
About to snap and hurt someone at any second / like they're about to kill someone
Preoccupied / zoned out / spacey / lost in their head
Expressionless / blank / impossible to read

<snip>

Whatever the misleading facial expression is, it can cause a few problems: It can give people the wrong idea about you, and perhaps cause them to avoid you. It can lead a lot of annoying, intrusive comments, especially for women, such as, "Smile! It's not so bad!" or "What's wrong? You look so unhappy." On occasion it can even lead to conflicts, e.g., a man at a bar may unwittingly give out a vibe that he's looking for a fight. If someone is constantly being told about the false message their face gives off they may also become quite self-conscious about it.

mouthy and refuse to be bullied. Why anyone would marry a POS like him is a mystery, especially a Catholic since divorce isn't allowed to correct a mistake.

both her upper and lower teeth were completely bared. That's not a natural movement, but like other mouthbreathers, she was also doing a lot of licking around lips and teeth. It was very distracting.

what is behind those eyes. What is sad is what they are. The thing of it is,they see no wrong in it. That is what is sad.She is not sad about it -so what yer seeing is dark and yes it is a sad sight to see.

You kind of have to see it for what it is in truth.
Christie for example says Obama is living in his own world indicated he is detached from people. The truth of the matter is Chrisite is living in Christie's world . it is widely known that lawyers on the by and large only really like other lawyers -people are there to get it over on.

In pursuit of the vote he/they can use you. But getting it over on you is all they really want to do. Thats how they make their money.
In Christie's case it's about power.Or the philosophy of power-regards to getting it over on people.

That having been said- Chrisite will tell you all about just what he is and is up to, but they do it by accusing other people of being or doing exactly what they theirselves are ,do or will do.And of course they will have you believe never would they do such a thing. It also helps them to release some of the despicable shit the goes on within them.

Seeing through it is really quite easy.

They will tell you exactly what they are and are on about, all you have to do is read into it right.
