Cugalabanza Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) I thought it might be interesting to compare the smirks of two prominent, famously-always-smirking ideologues. Who, in your opinion, has the more imposing smirk? It’s Left vs. Right: who brings more smirk power to his respective side? My take: It’s a close call. And they have a lot in common. Both smirkers rock impenetrably faith-based smirks. And both go heavy on condescension and self-satisfaction in their best smirks. The difference, for me, is that Pence is able to convey that extra menace that Schiff can’t muster. Sure, Schiff wants you to burn in hell because you’re a sinner, but it’s too milk and cookies in the end. Pence’s smirk is more sophisticated in that he manages to communicate that not only does he want you in hell, he’ll drive you there himself in the trunk of his car. WINNER: Mike Pence!

DC Tom Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Nobody out-smirks Trump, though. Although Obama's a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeviF Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I think if you got a candid shot of Schiff it would have been a better matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koko78 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Pence really sells it with the eyebrows. Though we need a more candid pic of Full-of-Schiff to make a fair comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't help his case. The smirk tends to get away from him in the heat of the moment. He's almost Andy Kaufman here...

boyst Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 When there is nothing in politics anyone wants to admit to or acknowledge than stuff like this makes for a good time. Not pointing at cugalatonydanza but the big channels do this annoyingly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snafu Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Pence looks like he's squeezing out a silent fart. Schiff looks like you're about to find the bodies he's hidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
