Is it just me, or does Mitt give out that awful laugh when he lies or tries to tell a funny?

(I can't call them a "joke" as they are generally sick humor.)

Anyway, I think the debates will be a good way to check this theory out. I can't remember a time when Romney truly laughed...it always seems fake or forced...a nervous tic.

This will be the first time I've been able to force myself to listen to more than 5 minutes (except for that 47% video) of his speeches without falling asleep, so I'm going to try to count and analyze those rare moments when he gives that (shudder) laugh of his.

Maybe I'm reading him wrong.

1. Oh yes I do. I think it is unsettling to hear him. He comes off so uncaring.

[Blue Meany]

2. I think he does that whenever he lies or is put on the the spot with a difficult inquiry..n/t

3. I don't think robots are programmed to laugh.

4. Romney has a sociopathic grin! n/t

[Botany]

5. His laugh is mirthless

[Frustratedlady]

7. Love it! My favorite is the interview when he crosses/recrosses his legs. eom

9. I loved James Lipton before I saw this clip.

I love him even more after this!
The mock interview is hilarious.



Romney is one of the most awkward people to ever run for President.

6. I swear he can't control it.

I have to think his handlers have told him to be conscious of it but he can't stop himself. George W Bush was told about his smirk. He managed to control it. Romney just can't. He gets nervous and that creepy laugh just comes out.

8. The man is a montage of ticks and tells....

Obama will read him like a book.

10. Like when he said "I live for laughter" when being interviewed with his wife?

[NCLefty]

11. He does it all the time. The nervous, who-me? version is the worst.

Uh-hah, uh-hah, uh-hah!

*slap*

It's his least desirable personality trait.
