Lie to Me
Posted by: Todd MacLeod - Category: Congress, Nancy Pelosi
There is a show on Fox which highlights the work of the fictional Dr. Lightman ( creative name.) Dr. Lightman and his team analyze witness testimony, public speeches and other human characteristics in order to determine if someone is lying about a certain subject. From Fox’s website:
“From writer Samuel Baum (”The Evidence”) and the executive producers of 24 and “Arrested Development” comes LIE TO ME, a compelling new drama series inspired by the scientific discoveries of Dr. Paul Ekman, a real-life specialist who can read clues embedded in the human face, body and voice to expose both the truth and lies in criminal investigations. “
So, as you can see, there is an actual basis for the storylines of the show which centers on the work of a behavorial scientist. Dr. Ekman has a slick website that educates its readers on the many and varied usages and limitations of this discipline. I wonder if Dr. Ekman has had the opportunity to analyze the series of public appearances that Speaker Pelosi has made over the last two weeks. In case you haven’t seen it the RNC has done some research:
See any indications of lying? ( Hat Tip to Michelle Malkin )

It is obvious that she is lying. Lying about national security and intelligence, two areas that should provide the greatest incentive for telling the truth.
I believe Speaker Pelosi missed the leadership briefings during orientation.
