The First American Prime Minister In Waiting

a narcissist meets an egghead.

obamamessiah and IgMcMuffin.

Iggy sits and listens in awe and rapture. of course Iggy cant relate to iceskating ,he has been gone for 30 years.

What were these fellas up to before the media showed up? Iggy looking extremely pleased with himself, keeps licking his lips, I would be hard pressed to believe that that is mayonnaise on his chin!!!

Iggy's body language is screaming discomfort in this clip.

WTH is a beaver tail other than the apendage at the butt end of a beaver?

Apparently it is the national desert?

Iggy constantly licking his lips appears creepy to me. Who does that? other than seniors tied into chairs in care homes!

Big time. I'm no body language expert, but Iggy looked completely out of his depth, and distinctly uncomfortable.

I think it's time for another SDA juxtaposition exercise. Place this video up next to the Obama/Harper meeting. I'll even be generous: pick Harper's worst 2 minutes of their entire public meeting, and he'll still come out looking more prime ministerial than Count Iggula looked in this clip.

Wow! Was I wrong about suspecting that Ignatieff may be a moron! Now I'm convinced! Vote Liberal!

Iggy sitting there thinking.

"dont this guy ever shut the fu k up, I cant get a word in eggwize"

William F. Buckley Jr.: "I'd rather be governed by the first 2,000 names in the Boston telephone directory than by the faculty of Harvard."

Ordinary Americans vs. the high priests of knowledge and culture. It would only make sense, you might think, to put the country in the hands of the priests. After examining the record of the closing decades of the 20th century, you'd think again.

Bigger government, higher taxes, modest defenses, détente with the Soviets--by and large, these were the policies of the intellectual establishment. During the 1970s, such policies nearly brought down the country. Limited government, tax cuts, rebuilding our defenses, standing up to the Soviets--by and large, these were the policies of ordinary Americans. During the 1980s, such policies brought down the Soviet Union.

Iggy did look very uncomfortable/intimidated. All he could muster was a nod of agreement, a few dumb-ass looking chuckles and the word 'beavertail'. Starstruck much?

Did anyone hear the name Khdar, did iggy get to say a word. Put this up against iggys interview after the meeting, don't think he mentioned beavertails.

Is this the meeting where "I said to the President aah this and that"" WTF! Mr.Ignatiff looks like he needs a washroom break, I guess POTUS Obama needed directions to the local "try'n Save" to stock up on "bevertails" for the journey home. Was this the 30 minute meeting?
Cheers Bubba

Iggy gets 3-thums up from the RinkRats.

Over to you, Don....

Once again your post is a diamond in the ruff. Articulate, organized and to the point. Another fine shining example why conservatism is in a clogged toilet.

Does anyone think Peter Pravda Peckerhead will ask the Ig about any of this?

I won't comment on the oboe...as for Iggy...(excuse me while I laugh)...definitely not a leader (I guess those grimaces are supposed to be smiles of relaxed enthusiasm ??)
Perhaps the mug shot on Times Square was some form of damage control.

iggy looks like he was sitting on something hard and set to vibrate mode

More from Iggy's "clogged toilet".

"Michael Stickings isn’t just some grassroots Liberal blogger, he’s a senior political adviser in Dalton McGuinty’s government! Stickings is listed as a senior member of McGuinty’s “Strategy and Results Branch” of his Deputy Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs.

Stickings, now a Queen’s Park senior political staffer for a Liberal Premier, supported Bob Rae for the latest round of the Liberal leadership,"

"This isn’t just some Liberal wannabe hack. This shows that there are some serious questions about Ignatieff among senior members of the Liberal Party."

"Some missed facts about that anti-Ignatieff piece in the Guardian

There was a bit of a buzz yesterday about an article published in the left-wing pages of the Guardian, a British newspaper, by Michael Stickings. However, most commentators missed a few important points about its significance. First though, here are some quotes from the piece,"
http://www.stephentaylor.ca/2009/02/some-missed-facts-about-that-anti-ignatieff-piece-in-the-guardian/

Beaver Tail !!!!

must Liberals always bring up Margaret Trudeau?

"A thoughtful and engaging communicator" the Liberal website says of their "leader".

Don't they know how to spell "Star struck Boob"??

So they sit there and talk about beaver?

Typical men.

Typical men.

What a faint hearted amateur! His performance reminds me of a love struck adolescence who gets to sit beside his beloved in Drama class. To think that the half wit liberals are the idiots who posted this video. This is the buffoon that has raised the polling number for the liberals in that rotten, freeloading province of Quebec, makes sense doesn't it.
Absolutely Pathetic.

Woodporter commented: "Iggy's body language is screaming discomfort in this clip."

That's just his usual 'friendly grimace' intended to mask his inner thoughts:

"I'm the nuanced intellectual, not you, and although we both know that I'm both superior and bored, I'm going to try to pretend to enjoy this meaningless conversation."

Re the stickings piece. funny it was in the Guardian. The British left HATES Iggy. They never forgve him for deciding that the miners were wrong in the coal strike int he early 80's.

Like any member of a left wing circle if you screw up the catechism you are forever banished and in a nasty manner.

Ye sth person who wrote the article knows darn well where he works and who he works for. A certain WK was an advisor for that government, I wonder what he thinks, and a certain David Axelrod, of Obama fame, was a strategist on McGuinty's first campaign...you will find many common themes in that campaign to what eventually showed up under Obama. He would know Stickings, one wonders if they had an alignment of views

Iggy, putting the "I" in politics...as well with Michael Ignatieff it is always about "MI"

Iggy seems to be very uncomfortable. Clearly evident. Unless Obama has a script, he's an embarassment to Americans. I could only roll my eyes on this one.

Come on folks, Dr. Ignatieff has spent most of his entire adult life lecturing to underlings, and now you expect him to be able to conduct a normal conversation?

The entire ordeal of posing for photo-ops and grovelling to the masses must be very demeaning for Michael; a necessary personal discomfort to fulfill his new found objective to rule your country.

Not since Bill Clinton have Canadians been able to feel comfortable discussing tail with a sitting US President.

Is there nothing Obama can't do?

Is there no one Obama can't do?

Are liberals so stupid they have to have the video auto play for them...

Jeese I hate that..

"Look at me!! Look at ME!! I'm with the President of the United States..What should I say....Oh GOD, please don't ask me a question. I know, I'll talk about Beaver Tails! Yea..That's a good one...Wait, maybe he doesn't know what a beaver tail is....Geez, maybe I shoulda had Warren here. I mean, he could have given me advice about China and Chinese food....Why have I got this stupid grin on my face...I wish I was back in Ottawa..."

It's hard to imagine that anyone referred to as "Iggy" could have more than a fleeting chance at national prominence.

It's too close to "icky".

If PET had been known as "Trudy", history might have been different.

The same holds for the ultra left NDP.

The knives come out for those who don't blindly follow the NDP establishment.

That's what I looked like when I met Wayne Gretzky when I was 14 years old. Except I didn't pi$$ myself.

Yea because Jerome Iginila is not well known in Canada.

LOL! PET is even more hilarious.

All the while Iggy keeps thinking over and over
" dammit,this negro has advanced further than I.. dammit,this negro has advanced further than I.. dammit,this negro has advanced further than I"....

@peter o'keefe:

Actually, Trudeau was labeled "Trudy" back in 1967 by the late Toronto Star editorial cartoonist Duncan Macpherson. He and Judy LaMarsh were lampooned as beatniks in a cartoon captioned "The Judy and Trudy Show."

It didn't stick, though.

Beavertail Summit, 2 minutes of lip licking, featuring the POTUS and the Poseur.

Iggy -does- look extremely uncomfortable.

He looks like a man who has just discovered that the Leader of the Free World is a power-mad, sociopathic half wit, and is trying not to crap his pants in sheer terror. All that's going through his mind is "OMG, Harper was right! We're DOOMED!!! Holy f- holy f- holy f-...!!!"

Either that or something he ate for lunch was trying to escape.

I thought that Obama looked uncomfortable too.

Obama's thoughts? This guy taught at Harvard. He's an I/Egghead, I'm not. Let's keep this light.

Iggy: This guy actually went to Harvard? He can't talk about anything but skating on Lake Michigan and Beaver Tails? Hmmm ... even though he's the star here, I'm a lot smarter than he is.

Anyone remember Bev Desjarlais, one-time Dipper MP for Churchill riding in Manitoba?

I just watched that clip and I must say I cringed watching Iggy squirming. It looked like he was peaking on acid.

At least Harper is consistent,cool and calm. It is very refreshing to have a coherent PM that does not leave me feeling embarrassed when speaking candidly.

I'm satisfied with my voted rep.

Two guys from Harvard reminiscing over fraternity hijinks.

What was this useless photo-op for anyhow? Count Iggula looks like a 14 year old girl at a Jonas Brothers show, or perhaps the Count was feeling ill from feasting on some bad intestines. He just looks like such a creepy character, maybe he wanted O to sit on his lap. ick!

Iggy was the Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.

Rowwwwwr. He's great!

I still don't understand why Obama even had a meeting with Iggy. Would Harper go to the states and meet with McCain? and if he did would the press care? By the way, I am a Canadian and don't have any idea what a beaver tail is, other then the tail of an actual beaver.

Pandora: A Beaver Tail is a warm confection, a beaver-tail shaped piece of warm, soft pastry, brushed with topping(s) of your choice.

My favourite: maple syrup and cinnamon. They're pricey, though, and not really worth the cost.

Here I though Beaver tail was sex with the leader of the Green Party.
