Juxtaposed!
Ottawa Sun: “Ignatieff needs to be himself.” – You need to show your true self because that’s the self that governs, that emerges in testing situations when a nation needs a strong leader the most.
Toronto Life: “Ten things the federal Liberal party leader can’t live without” – I like brown or black shoes with laces, no surprises. I’m currently wearing a pair of comfortable lace-up Ecco shoes. My wife is the boss of everything to do with fashion, but I get to make marginal choices, about things like buying shoes.
Tee-hee!
The caption pretty much sums up Iggy.
Marginal, semi retarded, and whipped.
I’m sure I’ve read this list before,maybe last year or the year before.Does this magazine rehash their articles hoping that Torontonians have short memories?
I’m certain that the count can’t live in Canada once the next election is over.
If Iggy was really himself, he wouldn’t be in Canada rubbing shoulders with riffraff like Wayne Easter or Ralph Goodale.
Re item 3, kasha: the count needs his comfort food.
Igg likes his brown shoes with laces, no surprises, and his checkered shirts tucked in his underpants, hopefully with no surprises… Igg is good for a laugh…
Oddly, no mention of where he hides the poo.
If he truly “was himself” he would have to return to his true opinions on things like torture, Iraq, etc. And by doing so he would be drummed out of the LPC.
Right you are Gord Turk. And other things too – like his refusal to ‘recognize’ his chubby little brother at school for fear of ridicule by his fancy pantsy pals! Read Russian Album to see his lack of appreciation for his Russian Uncles and even his Grandparents because they failed to get rich in their life after the Russian Revolution. This man has no use for anyone who is not rolling in money and he believes in ‘entitlements’ and titles. The man feels ‘disenfranchised’ by the Bolshevik hordes yet he pals around with a gang who love bolshi policies! Sort of like the “Red Count” in reverse. He is an ivory tower dreamer like PET Turdo, he has never had to account for anything therefore is is a ‘Count of no account’, IMO. We have a good, intelligent, Canadian PM who places value on the excellence of our ancestors who built the nation. We are a very fortunate people to have such a man to represent us, why would we chose a directionless fellow with a Russian name and an American passport to replace one of our own?
@ Gord: You’re right of course. I was really happy when he said that he “wouldn’t lose sleep” over the Israeli-Lebanon war. It would have been an interesting direction for the Liberal party. Alas, he just repeats the tired old mantras now. They should just replace him with a robot that can read lines like digitally voiced teleprompter or David Duchovny.
Don’t get too complacent. About once every five or six tries, the Liberals come up with a stunner.
Or they get our side to split the party. That works too.
What worries me is the black swan scenario in which they come up with a stunner AND we split the party. Then we’re all in the gulag, mining uranium with our bare hands.
Am I the only woman who doesn’t have a sit-com marriage?
His wife tells him what to wear? Other wives “let” their husbands watch X amount of sports or “let” them go out??
Does not compute. Who wants a “Yes, dear” husband?
Must say Iggy’s fashion boss wife displayed quite a fashion flair with his bus tour wardrobe. The same plaid/checkered shirt got a lot of mileage to say nothing of the tuck-in peek-a-boo.
The guy’s an asshole. Case closed.
@ Jema54, I see someone else has read Russian Album and I would agree with your assessment. We saw Mr. Iffy’s grandfather’s digs in 2008 and they were quite impressive. Too bad it is not possible to show a picture here.
Hey I like kasha especially when made with salt pork and wild mushrooms.
Iggy is a twit.And I’ll bite.What is kasha??

I’m sure Szusanna does a lovely job of picking out Iggy’s sock suspenders….and she combs his hair quite nicely for him, too.
iggy likes the junk patdown at airport security too!

I wanted to reply to this earlier, but I had to get permission…..I can watch all the CFL I like.
Dedication to more than one sport would be a no-no, unless it’s horse racing or American politics, then I can watch all I want.
🙂
Anyone who likes having their junk patted down at airports really is deprived of affection.

I am one of those wives who does not have or need/want a ‘yes dear’ man. I have one of those marriages where the other husbands don’t believe my man cause their wives won’t ‘let’ them…….(fill in the blank). My man never has to chime in on the wife bashing at all male events and lets me know it. And I get back the same respect and support.
It ain’t perfect but it’s worked great for 25 years. Looking forward to a very fulfilling 25 more.
And I’ll bite.What is kasha??

Kasha is made with buckwheat, usually served plain and with sour cream as a topper…at least in my Russian side of the family!
Ken (Kulak), I did not know that Icky’s Grandfather’s house was still standing! It must really irk Icky to see all that property and know that but for the Red Horde it could have been his – he has probably discounted the fact that his Dad would have been way down on the inheritance list because Icky’s Dad was the youngest son of five.
It must have been a heart breaking trip for you Ken seeing the lands where your family had once lived and knowing that most of them were sent to the grist mill of killing in the Soviet gulags or just starvation on route. My own Grandad hated and feared the Communists lurking in the shadows of every nation; he was self educated but he certainly knew a lot more about evil than the know it alls in gument. My Grandad fought income tax in a real way and he was financially crippled for his efforts. My Grandad was a very independent man, he was a farmer and a rancher but he was also an excellent mechanic; when The Depression hit the prairies my Grandad went to work for the Krupp knife factory in Detroit so he had some cash, he also rounded up and broke wild horses in Montana and then ‘sold’ the horses. Grandad manged to save his own property from the tax man and he helped many people in the Cypress Hills hang on to their property by lending them money, giving them horses to use, lending his saddle horses and his time. My Grandad and his family saved the Cypress Hills from the Parks Canada commi outfit. Grandad was a Glen Beck man long before Glen Beck was born. My Grandad had a big asset: he had a intelligent loving wife and a fine brother for a partner. Grandad could not have done much without the support of his partners, Grandma and my Great Uncle did without as Grandad gave away the means to survival to family and neighbours during the hard times. The threesome did survive and prosper in the end, they did not ask for thanks and they did not get any thanks from the people who had benefited from their good will but they saved the Cypress Hills from the Parks Branch and for Grandad that was enough – fearing the Bolsheviks as Grandad did.
All of my life my relatives have kept their guns; Grandad and my own Dad (son in law) always kept a loaded gun at hand and several more on the wall. They believed, as I do, that a polite society is a armed society. Grandad would have considered a person like Icky a fraud and a panty waist and a danger to Freedom. Grandad would have probably liked Icky’s uncles. He would have liked you Ken (Kulak) as you hold the same opinions about things that count – you are in the league of Men who count, Icky is on the other end of the stick, IMO.
Jema, yes it is, and complete with wrought iron fence around the yard and the coat-of-arms on the gate.
Jema54;
Brilliant assessment of Iggy (3:15 am)!!! Howdyboy’s assessment (8:41 am) was also spot on. 🙂
Nothing Ignatieff has done disgusts me more than his attempts to “reach out” to us little people. Ignatieff looked so ridiculous in a plaid shirt,so out of place,like Ru-Paul at a Muslim convention.
You aren’t one of “us” Iggy,and it’s insulting to us when you try to pretend you have any connection to us.
Perhaps we’ll be fortunate enough to see Iggy as Leader in one more election,and if the stars align properly,he’ll get the boot while Harper gets his majority.
Latest CROP poll: Where’s 18%L’Iggy?
L’Iggy’s an also-ran: 4th place.
…-
“Sur la scène fédérale, le Bloc québécois a gagné du terrain dans les intentions de vote avec 40%. Il s’agit d’un résultat plus élevé que les 38% enregistrés lors des élections en octobre 2008. En revanche, le Parti libéral du Canada (PLC) perd des plumes, chutant de 24% aux dernières élections à 18% aujourd’hui. Force est de constater que la tournée estivale de Michael Ignatieff n’a pas permis au PLC de séduire l’électorat du Québec.
Le Parti conservateur du Canada (PCC) arrive au deuxième rang dans les intentions de vote des Québécois avec 20%. Le Nouveau parti démocratique (NPD) est quant à lui au troisième rang avec 19%, et le Parti vert du Canada en cinquième place avec 2%.”

PET Cemetery has free advice for socialist/leftist Iggy as to what L’Iggy should do.
Go for an “internal rectification”, a “purge”. Iggy’s Russian, er, Georgian, leftist icon, Joe Stalin was a master of the party purges*. Do it Iggy, now; before you are purged.
“The anarchist activity on the extreme Left suggests some within are ready to move onto the next phase: internal rectification.
Rectification is not an electrical term. On the Left it means “power struggle” or purge.”

No, most of us lie about “getting permission” to make the distaff side giggle.
However, even the most manliest man has to sleep some time, and she’s going to be right there… and she knows where the forks are kept…
