Lady with the gavel needs to smile...no smile even once-where is the excitment???

[wt1531]

Or give the gavel to someone else who will look happy to do it

1. Oh, FFS.

She's in charge of a voting procedure and she can't look biased, even though we know the outcome.

[Wounded Bear]

2. Meh, she has a difficult job to do...

I'll allow it.

[Kber]

3. She's got a job. It's not a beauty contest.

[geek tragedy]

4. please don't tell women to smile nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Thank you. That's a pet peeve of mine.

17. Okay, how about if she just doesn't look as sour as

if she was blackmailed into canceling an emergency dental procedure and doing this unpleasant duty instead?

All the delegations are proud and happy to be able to make their personal statements. This is wonderful. We should always poll -- and the secretary should also look proud and pleased at the procedure itself as befits this very special process.

Marcia Fudge would have done very well, even without smiling. She notably would have stood up straight and given it the high-minded dignity this important event deserves.

Well, Bernie just took over. He did it right.

18. She doesn't look crabby to me - just serious.

She did a good job IMO.

[Hortensis]

20. Good.

One for you and for me Bernie Sanders and Marcia Fudge brought it home with high style. Works.

5. I think she's doing an AMAZING job keeping everyone on track and being organised.

Telling women to smile is really unwelcome, by the way.

7. shes counting.

[okasha]

8. There's plenty of excitement among the delegates.

The woman with the gavel has a serious job. She'll smile when it's done, I'm sure.

9. It's okay - she is handling her job beautifully -

She is focused - and getting the numbers right..that is not easy especially with all the hootin' - it takes patience - keep in mind she had to step up yesterday...

10. The lady is Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.

I appreciate her poise and dignity. She can do her business without people telling her to smile.

22. +1

She did a good job

[Phentex]

11. Rewind to maryland for one. Not that she owes anyone a smile...

She's doing her job. Don't be rude.

[obamanut2012]

12. Give me a break

[frazzled]

13. Her job as secretary is to record votes

In a completely impartial manner. She's doing a terrific job.

[Brickbat]

14. She's doing a great job. I love a chair who takes it seriously.

Right now being the center of attention this isn't her job. Also, her name is Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, and she's the mayor of Baltimore.

[tallahasseedem]

15. No chance

She's doing a job...this isn't a show for her. Plus, she's awesome and is beautiful!!!

[grossproffit]

16. Oh, hell no! Not today. BOO!

[Glimmer of Hope]

19. There are so many things wrong this post. I don't even know where to begin.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

21. That "lady" is the mayor of a great city

and the daughter of a man I worked for and adored.

Show some respect for Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, please.
