NBC Headline: "The Big Chill: A dominant Obama meets a cool Putin at G20"

"Dominant."

Like one of those romance novel heroes who love-rapes the heroine/reporter.

Let's call him "masterful" and "rough-handed" while we're at it. Maybe throw in a "proud and impudent bulge."

There was no outright hostility, but the chill between the two world leaders — at loggerheads over NSA leaker Edward Snowden and a strike against Syria — was evident in clenched-jaw smiles and lack of eye-contact and touching, the experts said.

She blushed girlishly at his engorgement.

Oh wait that wasn't in the original text.

"There's no real warmth," said Erik Bucy, a professor at Texas Tech University who researches non-verbal communication.

"It looks like Putin's basically a hotel greeter at a five-star establishment and Obama is coming out of the limo as the important invited guest he's not particularly thrilled to see."

Body language "experts" are one step down from Counselor Deana Troi on Star Trek. When there's a planet being torn apart by twin suns' massive tidal forces, Deana Troi's there to tell you "I detect fear... anxiety... gravity."

Really, Merlin? That's just wonderful. I couldn't have picked that up from watching the planet imploding on the Giant Space TV.

Okay today's a blow-off day I guess.

No I'll link a real piece next.

From a jacket-buttoning pause to a hard-pumping handshake, Obama displayed tell-tale signs of dominance after he alit from a limo in front of St. Petersburg's Konstantin Palace....

A thin smile widened his cruel lips....

"This is a show of power," Tonya Reiman said. "He leans in toward Putin with his upper body, placing himself slightly into Putin's personal zone. Notice Putin pulls back ever so slightly, which indicates that Obama has the upper hand."

An insistent hand dove wantonly into her silky bustles, searching out the steamy treasure of her maidenhead.
