Police believe Heene based on "body language", reads the headline.
If that's true, I have two words: JonBenet Ramsey. Same state. Is "Must Be A Complete Idiot" part of the job requirement to be in law enforcement there? Good grief. Body language.
Well, hey, I saw his body language, too. I saw his son have to wretch twice on two separate occasions at conveniently distracting moments when the whole "did it for the show" question was asked. I saw the "did it for the show" comment, and the lamest attempt to ever explain a comment thereafter, and the hasty, clumsy retreat to cut off the interview.
I saw a balloon flying over part of Colorado, and I saw them admit that the boy was in the attic. I saw the father ask, as if it had not occurred to him to ask before the Blitzer interview on CNN last night, if the boy had heard them calling his name while he was in the attic. I saw his and the mother's rehearsed sounding, almost on cue "you did?" when he said he'd heard them. And, then when he was asked why he didn't come down or speak up when he heard them, out he came with the truth ---- you guys said we were doing it for the show.
That's the body language I saw.
