Asking again: What is wrong with Scott Walker's eyelids?

[El Supremo]

He reminds me of another governor:

[hobbit709]

1. And just about as crooked as the other one too.

[rfranklin]

8. I think of that movie every time I see his mug...

yes, maybe more crooked.

[EOTE]

2. Durrr, which way did he go, George? Which way did he go?

That's what I always think of when I see snotty Scotty's face.

[HopeHoops]

3. Kochaine. BTW, did you know Le Pétomane was the stage name of a French flatulist?

Knowing the sense of humor Mel Brooks has, I doubt the choice of name was coincidence.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

13. "Le Petomaine" is in a book by Ricky Jay, magician.

It's called "Learned Pigs and Fireproof Women" and it's about what people went to for entertainment before radio and TV.

[Jackpine Radical]

4. My personal theory--

Too much Koch.

[onehandle]

5. He's looked worse.

[Bigmack]

6. Nictitating membrane...

Nictitating membranes are found in some birds, reptiles, amphibians ....

Sharks will pull this nictitating membrane across their eyes when attacking prey... to avoid damage to the eye.

Walker just hasn't fully deployed his... yet.

[grasswire]

9. but some people do it.

And I would like very much to know what a body language expert would have to say about that. I know a really mean SOB that does it occasionally. Draws the membrane across the eyes when he's talking. Demon possession? What?

[TrogL]

11. He's a reptilian

[hifiguy]

7. He is, in the marvelous words of Esquire's Charlie Pierce

a goggle-eyed homonculus.

[Poiuyt]

10. Is anyone here old enough to remember Mortimer Snerd?

[Manifestor_of_Light]

14. Damn, his eyes are not level.

We knew he was a few bubbles off level but didn't know it was that bad.

[El Supremo]

15. I never noticed that until you pointed it out.

This guy was either in an accident or they pulled him out with forceps when he was born.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

16. Probably forceps. Or maybe the two halves didn't match up in embryonic development.

Lots of us born in the 50s got dragged out with forceps.

I think they dropped me on my head at no extra charge or something. My mother smoked like a furnace until I was ten years old (thanks for that scar tissue in my lungs from second-hand smoke, mom!) and I was born in one of the former malpratice capitals of the country.

12. I've been debating with myself that his weakling eyes are

either stupid or corrupt.

Seriously, that is what I see & think each time I see him on TV. So many times I wanted to start a thread on this here.

Anyway, I know he's corrupt, so I've concluded he's both a stupid and corrupt weakling.

[geardaddy]

17. Separated at birth?
