Winkin' vs. Blinkin' Hockey Mom vs. Old Mac Old Mac has two nervous ticks: one when he's excited; The other when his temper is about to be ignited. The first: he'll stretch up on his toes. His second, rapid blinkin' Does not convey the prospects Palin posits with her winkin'. Mac's blinkin' rate's a measure of his anger and his hate, Not at all what Palin's winkin' seems to indicate. One appears to hint at what a hooker might deliver. The other sends a message he'd sell his mother down the river. Mac's grin becomes a grimace that is troubling to watch And is so condescending you expect he'll scratch his crotch. He acts as if he can't believe somebody'd dare infer That he would ditch his crippled wife when he got out of stir. But till Mac starts cross-dressing, aping New York's former mayor, Winkin' 'stead of blinkin' would prove the old man's not all there.
