Now that I'm studying the video of Elizabeth Warren's "Assuming you can find one" joke...
... which I blogged about yesterday using only the text... I can see 3 things:Okay Liz... quick with it. https://t.co/EcL8DifkS4— Andrew Schulz 👑HEZI (@andrewschulz) October 11, 2019
1. At "I'm going to assume it's a guy who says that" — 0:21 — she touches her finger to her cheek. That's a tell. I do the same thing myself, and I know this from watching video. I don't lie, but sometimes when I'm speaking I know what I've said not completely honest, because it's missing something or wrong in a complicated way that I'm choosing to let go. The finger on the cheek for me is like a notation in a manuscript to get back to this passage and do some rewriting or to add a footnote. But when it's speech, it will be left in the past, and you will never go back. I mean, you could make a new statement and expand on what your said, but it's not in your interest to have a tell. Oh! There's the lawprof using her finger on her face as the equivalent of an asterisk that means footnote to be added later!
2. Warren did not think of the joke on the spot. It was planned. It was written for her. She meant to say that and meant to be cruel to the man — "I’m going to assume it’s a guy" — and to waft the threat that men who don't accept gay people marrying are going to be left behind in American. No one will want to marry them. It's a cruel taunt, and she meant to issue it. Maybe the President needs a capacity for callous cruelty. You can't have a complete nurturer in the White House. She and her people probably decided she needed some edge, and this was a good place to add it.
3. It's a 3-part joke: 1. "I’m going to assume it’s a guy," 2. "Just marry one woman — I’m cool with that," and 3. "Assuming you can find one." She's very professional delivering the sequence. She looks happy, but she doesn't quite smile, and she doesn't laugh. She keeps it cool (even as she announces her coolness ("I'm cool")). She does some shrugging (which seems to express: Yeah, I know what I said but, screw it, that's what I think, and I'm going to be saying what I think). Seconds after getting the third line out, she's pacing and rubbing her hands together, absorbing the laughter of the warmly appreciative audience. Then and only then, when the audience response is fully registered, does she burst into her own laughter.
