body language expert tells us what all that sniffing is

[jodymarie aimee]

CNN just had an expert tell us it is a nervous tic, and he is not aware he's doing it. It marks his place in his speech, like an exclamation point. He gives himself a pat on the back for nailing a point. Good Lord. He even pats himself on the back with his nose !!
