Gray Lady On Hillary Clinton "Nods"

The Gray Lady is on Hillary Clinton like Dame Judy Dench was "on" Cate Blanchette in Notes of a Scandal. Stand down, NYTimes; give the Senator from New York some breathing room to do her "conversations." Mark Leibovich of the Gray Lady is, by all means, a fine reporter. But this Hillary gazing is getting to be too much. It verges on the creepy. Desist Old Gray Lady ... desist! From NYTimes:

"Mrs. Clinton is a prodigious nodder. She is always nodding, in an array of distinctive flavors: the stern, deferential nod (at a Senate news conference, when her colleague Evan Bayh described conditions in Afghanistan); the empathetic, lips-pursed nod (when a man in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, tells her about his son’s epilepsy); the squinty, disbelieving nod (when a general testifies on Iraq before the Senate Armed Services Committee); the dutiful acknowledgment nod (when being applauded); and the blushing nod (when a veteran in Des Moines tells her 'I think you look very nice').

"The nodding appears unconscious, but not always. She nodded through a news conference with New York lawmakers discussing medical care for Sept. 11 relief workers."

... Offhand we'd say The Junior Senator of New York has, in the above evidence, grounds to sue Leibovich on the grounds of second degree eye-rape at the least. Does the online edition come with bells and wolfwhistles? Take it easy NYTimes, easy ...
