    Young Staffer Makes Crazy Faces at the Camera During Congressional Hearing

    "I'm being held against my will! Tell my story!" [CSPAN]Impressively, someone was paying close enough attention to CSPAN 3 during a congressional hearing about the arctic wildlife refuge and whether or not some professor had camped there enough times (or something?) to catch one young aide making several kinds of faces ranging from "bored," "angry," and "insane" directly at the camera. Watching this (the camera moves for a bit, but she starts up again at the 1:27 mark), it's hard to imagine her knowing there was a camera there, so to what was she making those faces? Is there a mirror on the camera? Is she friends with the camera operator, and doing the classic "Get me out of here!" faces that everyone makes to their co-workers in corporate meetings? If the camera had lingered longer, would she have done that slow pretending-to-shoot-one's-self-with-one's-finger-and-then-slump-over gag that's so popular in the boardrooms of America? We might never know, but if I had to sit in on this immaturely conducted debate, I would make faces like this, too.

      With all the crap in the news lately, it was a good laugh. I expected worse lol
    • Not-radamus  •  6 months ago
      What goofy faces? I agree -- she was probably just trying to stay awake as the little children squabble endlessly at taxpayer expense.

      shes the translator....... "get the hell off this channel"
    • Rico Idiot  •  6 months ago
      hey guys - she knew what she was doing. You are wrong if you think congressional offices don;t watch the cpan channel their boss is on. Also notice when she makes the faces it lines up when she is looking at her blackberry. Obviously someone is telling her she is on camera. I did when work for the a congressman and it was funny then and its funny now.
      • Deanna 6 months ago
        yes she is definetely texting and making the face at the same time, very obvious! and funny

      China and other countries CANNOT resupply American retailers before
      Christmas. If it isn't already in America or at port,it won't be in a store this
      year. But U.S. manufacturers can REPEATEDLY resupply stores: which is
      what makes BUY MADE In The U.S.A. such a POWERFUL TOOL during
      the holidays to create jobs. The RECOVERY is in your hands(wallet).Plus
      40% of retail income is made during this Holiday season. It's NOW or NEXT
      YEAR !! Start your internet search TODAY. Buy a U.S. made broom,it all
      equals JOBS.

      watch the clip with no volume....in the first expression, it looks like she's trying to read something, in the second, it looks like she stretched her eyes to stay awake, and the third time, she has her head tilted down towards her phone and looks up with her eyes (and continues)
    • Margaret  •  6 months ago
      Either someone is telling her she is on camera, or she is watching it herself, LIVE on her phone. No way she didn't know. Good for her though, because I expect those hearings are looooooong & booooriiiiing.
    • eddie  •  6 months ago
