Stand Up #5

More Stand Up themes.

5) the look of the WIFE of a politician as he speaks.
Variations: Huckaby's wife during his final speech looked alert at first, faded to looking tired, then VERY tired, then a "Oh, come ON! Get DONE!" look. Eliott Spitzer's wife as he admitted spending thousands of call-girls. Kind of a blank stare.

5a) OK everyone! I'm going to give acting classes! These classes will make heavy use of facial expressions. My only clients will be the wives of politicians! They stand in the background during good times and bad. For LONG speeches and short. What is their face saying? Approval? Denial? Boredom? !!!! So how can we improve on this? FROZEN SMILE FACE! Like Hilary Clinton when she is trying to present herself as being WARM! BIG TEETH! No change for HOURS!

'nuff
