New York - During an appearance on the popular Fox News talker, The O'Reilly Factor, Koch Industry Spokesperson Nancy Pfotenhauer tried desperately to thwart potential analysis by Factor body language expert Tonya Reiman. On the show via satellite to discuss whether her influential right-wing bosses, the Koch brothers, are on President Obama's enemies list, Ms. Pfotenhauer moved erratically for the express purpose of confusing Ms. Reiman, a frequent Factor guest. Though unlikely she'll ever be in the crosshairs of the non-verbal guru, Ms. Pfotenhauer wasn't taking any chances. Discussing whether the Koch brothers are disproportionately harassed by the IRS, she made a steeple with her fingers, touched her tongue to her nose, planked on the arms of her chair, extended the arms of her person as if a loved one was coming in for a hug, and made a "De Niro face." In response, Factor staffers are asking guests to move their bodies naturally. "We're assuring everyone that folding their arms for comfort or putting their hand over their mouth to cough won't lead anyone to conclude they're a, "racist, bigot or homophobe," said Jesse Watters, Factor producer and host of Factor segment, Watters' World.
