Geez, yeah, Kevin and I talked about that part of the debate. Kevin said something along the lines of "Nice air quotes around 'health of the mother.'" Mother, pfah! If the baby is going to survive, she's done her job. The genes will be perpetuated. Beyond that, she's just using up valuable energy resources.
i found this amusing, my spouse did not. apparently this topic isn't funny...and me pointing out that air quotes or quotey fingers are funny didn't help
I showed this movie to Kevin and to my dad. Both of them sort of stopped laughing and got all grim and confused during the Samantha B part. I laughed and, at one point, as I was laughing, my dad did a very subtle head-shake...perhaps indicating that I shouldn't laugh. In the end, he sort of laughed half-heartedly...mostly to be nice, I think.
I've just finished a Ph.D. at an American University and have come to do a post doc at FSU in Jena, Germany. I like science, plankton, talking to strangers on planes, being outside, coffee, NPR, dogs, and peanut butter. I dislike things that are overly sentimental and the walk between my bus stop and my apartment.

Katie,
I think they are called "dick fingers," not "quotey fingers..." :)
My favorite part is the visual you get when Sam B talks about a baby growing in John McCain's penis...
