I see what you did there.

God, maybe she's used to two-fisting it.

/two-fisting drinks

Meh, I'm ambidrinkious, too.

 
KyngNothing [TotalFark] 2008-03-06 11:31:01 AM  
Maybe she's drinking out of her left hand so she can shake hands without it being wet and clammy?

// Or it's a sign of the illuminati... one of the two

 
Bowen 2008-03-06 11:32:35 AM  
When I read the headline I thought "wow, that's weird - why would she use her left hand to hold a beer?" until I realized I was holding a cup of coffee with my left hand.

She probably did it because she has two hands.

 
BobtheFascist 2008-03-06 11:33:26 AM  
Maybe she's drinking out of her left hand so she can shake hands without it being wet and clammy?

BINGO! She's working a room. Which means a lot of hand-shaking.

She's a Visitor doppelganger !!!

t's a little bit awkward to drink with your nondominant hand,

Huh. You know, I've never noticed that before, so I just did an experiment. I'm a righty. I put a beverage in my right hand and successfully took a drink. I then switched to my left, and suddenly I'm Robert Hays in Airplane. I swear, the cup went straight to my ear!

 
Tigger [TotalFark] 2008-03-06 11:44:56 AM  
She's playing International Drinking Game Rules

 
NuttierThanEver [TotalFark] 2008-03-06 11:47:10 AM  
You said drink now you must imbibe or quaff

Exactly... since she has 35 years of experience in glad-handing, she probably always does that... I bet she would carry a folder/book etc in the left as well... always want to be able to shake hands, it's been one of the hardest things for me to get used to in business...

Either carry in your left, or look like an awkward douche by fumbling everything...

 
sigdiamond2000 [TotalFark] 2008-03-06 11:48:56 AM  
xenophon10k: I swear, the cup went straight to my ear!

I just tried to take a drink with my left hand (I'm right handed) and I ended up dropping the cup and punching myself uncontrollably and repeatedly in the face. I had to hide under my desk to get away from my fist.

I don't know about you guys, but I don't trust someone who has some kind of voodoo power over her left hand to run the country. Who knows what other satanic mischief she might be involved in?

 
Diogenes [TotalFark] 2008-03-06 11:49:22 AM  
She needs her right hand free to jerk off the press.

I actually didn't notice the same thing until I read this post.
There's a mouse under the right hand though.

What you do in the privacy of your office is between you and God, and if you're sorry He'll forgive you.

 
pandabear [TotalFark] 2008-03-06 11:56:25 AM  
I'm drinking coffee with my non-dominant right hand right now, because I (again) stuck my dominant left hand into the chuck of a lathe and neatly ground off the tip of the index finger. So I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

 
TheConvincingSavant 2008-03-06 11:56:25 AM  
"You know, the only thing that struck me as odd is, she's holding the beer with her left hand, and she's a righty. And if you think about how you would normally take a sip, it's a little bit awkward to drink with your nondominant hand, unless you have a reason to be doing that."

Horseshiat.

 
Humean_Nature [TotalFark] 2008-03-06 11:56:57 AM  
You'd think a body language "expert" would have figured out the simple, and varied, reasons why she might be holding a beer in the non-opposite hand.

Though all of them are plausible (awkward drinking with your off-hand, are you serious?), my vote goes to the handshake theory. She's at a fundraiser, people, why would she put a cold drink in her flesh-pressing hand?

 
Wendy's Chili 2008-03-06 11:57:04 AM  
Maybe it was a Bull-Moose party.

A dexterous comment, for sure

sigdiamond2000: Take a bow. You win the thread.

I don't know which is more stupid: Fox for talking about this or Media Matters for reporting that they talked about it.

 
SexOnTV 2008-03-06 11:59:41 AM  
I drink with my left hand because my right hand stays on the mouse DUH

 
McNip 2008-03-06 12:00:03 PM  
I drink with my left hand all the time. In fact I'm doing it now because I'm using my mouse in the right hand. (well technically right now I'm typing but you get what I'm saying)

At home I often drink beer with my left because I have a cigar in my right. No big deal.

 
vernonFL [TotalFark] 2008-03-06 12:01:56 PM

First rule I learned was 'always blow your bong smoke into the paper towel roll filled with fabric softener so the RA doesn't smell it.'

/good times

Very ominous indeed.

 
pudding7 [TotalFark] 2008-03-06 12:02:24 PM  
Maybe she's in the Buffalo Club?

 
gtraz 2008-03-06 12:02:37 PM  
These "body language experts" are pretty ridiculous even for Fox. The only reason they have them on there is so they can call people liars without any accountability.

 
SquirrelWithLargeNuts 2008-03-06 12:03:32 PM  
When I play kings I almost always make it a rule that you have to drink with your non-dominant hand.

That's amazing. I always wondered why I had two, until now.

It was subby for submitting this. Followed closely by me commenting on it.

I nominate us for talking about Media Matters reporting that Fox talked about it.

/Unless Fox does a report about this thread.

 
LargeCanine 2008-03-06 12:05:45 PM  
Keeping her right free to pick up that Emergency Telephone Call.

That or she has two hands and people use either one for tasks like this.

Maybe two girls had just handed her the cup.

Media Matters could post the tide schedule for Chesapeake Bay and it would make the Fark Politics page.

This.

Did you know that most serial killers are Ambidextrous? Food for thought.

 
F42 2008-03-06 12:14:16 PM  
People often go "oh, you're left handed?" when they see me reach for something with my left hand.

I'm not left handed, I have two hands! If something is on my left, I reach with that hand, duh.

/people are weird

 
Curt Blizzah 2008-03-06 12:14:40 PM  
Was she drinking a Southpaw?

 
F42 2008-03-06 12:15:33 PM  
One hand on the mouse, the other on the coffee mug.

Why do people have a problem getting this?

 
spiderpaz 2008-03-06 12:15:38 PM  
F42: is obviously a serial killer

 
EvilTwinSkipster 2008-03-06 12:16:11 PM  
Fox News is the mouthpiece of the right. I thought the Republicans were boosting Hilary so she would win the nomination since she is so easy to defeat in the General Election.

Hmmmmm.

 
DaSwankOne 2008-03-06 12:16:11 PM  
FTFA: But isn't she the one who said we don't need a president we need to get a beer with, we've already been down that route? I think I remember hearing that.

I remember this, but can not find the quote online. This would be a great photoshop if someone could find the quote and date and a pic of her drinking beer with her left hand.

 
spiderpaz 2008-03-06 12:16:13 PM

Because we all know you have 10 bodies in your basement?
