The Claw?
Here we see Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf doing that famed "Claw" routine with his left hand. It's something he does at press conferences in order to side step the tough questions. That's right. Whenever he gets hit with a difficult inquiry the "Claw" immediately comes to life. He claims it has a mind of its own. First it starts grabbing at the air in the direction of the person who asked the question and then, inevitably, the "Claw" turns on Musharraf himself. It clutches onto his face, causing him to flail around screaming "Ahhhh, the Claw has got me. It's tearing out my eyes!" Of course, it usually only takes him a short time to pry the "Claw" away using his right hand, but then there's always that period of several uncomfortable minutes during which the "Claw" has to be physically restrained and occasionally breaks free and starts toward his face again. Eventually it does begin to settle down and returns to being a regular hand, but by this time, the tough question has usually been forgotten.
