  1. This will sew up the body-building-intellectual voter bloc, although I would imagine it’s all in this one photo.

  2. Is he doing a commercial for “SURE” deoderant? wel if it is relating to his politic’s i would say he is unsure cause he stink’s ….lol. but look no wet stains must use an anti-persperant!! LOL

  3. Ignatieff is a senior citizen. Only 18 months or so left for him to collect the Old Age Pension if he has been in Canada long enough to qualify.
    His photo message is to inpsire seniors across the country -it’s never too late for us old scrawny guys to try to get fit to save on the growing health care burden.
    Don’t discourage him- he looks like he has never worked out in his life.

  4. “It is time for change in Manitoba,”
    Translation: It worked for Obama.
    “It is our Liberal concern for the wellbeing of others, and our desire to build a caring society, that will ultimately prevail.”
    Translation: Must move the Nanny State forward.
    “We must continue to build a solid and united Manitoba Liberal party so that we will always offer Manitoba the choice of a strong, effective Liberal government.”
    Translation: Overbearing, meddling control freak government.
    “I think Conservatives take the West for granted,” Ignatieff told a media scrum after speaking with members of the local Jewish community.
    Translation: Conservatives know that their constuents in the west are Conservatives. Maybe not the Jews though … they are often foolishly liberal.
    “We want to take the Liberal message to every Conservative riding and say there is an alternative. An alternative where no one is left behind.”
    Translation: A lot more money for the ‘less motivated”
    I am so sick of the filthy lying bastards. How about you?

    At Kelekis.
    In Winnipeg.
    Oh the humanity.

    Stanfield allowed Trudeau on us without much of a fight.
    That’s hardly “greatness”.

  7. “I think Conservatives take the West for granted,” Ignatieff told a media scrum after speaking with members of the local Jewish community.”
    Maybe — that’s still way better than being taken to the cleaners by the Libranos.

  8. What some politicians will stoop to just to get the Gay vote. They’ll be wishing they hadn’t laughed at old Stock in his wetsuit.

  9. Is he really FIT for office?
    LOL chutzpahticular
    I like how onbe hand is in the middle and one on the end try it loser.
    Still, what do I know, as a western Canadian, I’m only here to be demonized.

  10. What could Iggy be thinking under that forced smile? Perhaps along the lines of …
    “Elect me as Tzar, and everyone of you peasants will be assuming this posture as my new Liberal commissars go through your wallets.”

  11. Looks like he’s preparing to do side bends on a lat machine,never seen that before.

  12. Nick,
    ‘Grant @ 8:56AM:
    Don’t they hang those things upside down to sleep?’
    Not all of them know which end is up..

  13. BatB and Curious; I wasn’t knocking Stanfield. In my mind that was the pivotal moment in Canadian history when the train left the track!
    The media manipulated that moment in order to foist their prima donna darling on us. Stanfield’s handlers should NEVER have let him near that damn ball; nothing to gain and as we’ve seen, everything to lose. His image was of a very decent, honest, elder statesman, not a 30 something quarterback.
    Stupid, stupid, stupid, and we’ve paid for it ever since.

  14. Phony stance, phony grip, phony grin, this picture fully captures the quintessential Count Iggula. This photo peels away the outer layers and allows us to see deeper into his shriveled little soul than I care to look.
    Chretien ought to buy himself a ‘miss me yet?’ billboard and put it right outside the Liberal Party main office.

  15. ” Clinging to ‘hope and change’ by his fingernails’
    I saw a T shirt for us – ‘ We will cling to our guns and our God and our Conservatives – you keep the ‘change’. A ‘tip’ for the Troika red light ilk.
