So perhaps you would prefer this.
ReplyDeleteI dunno, I find it kind of sexy! Better then the 'thumbs up' which reminds me of Tim Horton's, soldiers and brrrrrr, that nasty Don Cherry.
ReplyDeleteIts better than the stupid smirk/sneer we get from Harpo or the fake angry look we get from layton.
ReplyDeleteThe hand gesture I hate the most is the closed hand with the tip of the thumb pointing up slightly. Clinton popularised it during his tenure, probably on the advice of some strategist to avoid pointing with the index finger which is considered rude in some cultures. Now they all do it.
ReplyDeleteHuh. It even has its own Wikipedia entry: Clinton thumb
FrankD likes the gesture though. He finds it strangely galvanic.
Apparently you city slickers don't remember MI spent time on his uncles' farm and misses the smell.
ReplyDelete"Teet" time anyone?
Teet?
ReplyDeleteThis from someone who claims to be very well read.
CS is a fraud.
And Harper did what most of his life? Oh, yes, sat on his butt.
ReplyDeleteThe Harper Bobblehead gang with the thumbs up drives me crazy - you know what they say to do with your thumb - sit on it and rotate.
Be interesting to look a photos of previous PM's/leaders making speeches to see how they looked.
FrankD - isn't it way past due to leave Dion alone? Old and worn out crap like this....sigh......
ReplyDeleteTG...
ReplyDeleteresorting to typos...things must be very tough at LPHQ.
I agree with the HOST original post MI should stop making gestures that Rick Mercer or people who have too much time on their hands can photoshop.
I can't remember but did Jack Layton at 26% also beat Dion as best PM score too?
15% can't be good for MI or the morale.
Does anyone know if the fist-clenching thing is a natural pose for Iggy?
ReplyDeleteI mean, I've known profs who make a similar gesture sometimes when giving particularly energetic lectures.
Or is the fist-clenching just supposed to indicate that he's not Dion? Maybe they passed it through a focus group or something first?
Or perhaps it is a "grasping fetish" after all (haha, nicely done.)
Does anyone know if the fist-clenching thing is a natural pose for Iggy?
ReplyDeleteI doubt it. A lot of Iggy's gestures look like affectations, the unnaturalness of which, for Canadian politics at any rate, has probably only recently been pointed out to him. I doubt he has any natural poses left in him.
Not that I care. This crap is irrelevant in the realm of ideas.
Looks like he's milking an imaginary cow.
ReplyDeleteTerence being rude, refusing to follow the rules on many blogs has resulted in your bans.
ReplyDeleteTry staying on topic.
TG is correct MI is not photogenic, but that is not the serious problem currently facing the Liberals.
He has improved by reducing "I" in his speeches. I don't think the 22 minutes bit had a "cool" factor.
Hopefully Peter can make some changes before they hit NDP levels.
Bob Rae is much more personable in person and on tv.
He claims to be a statisical genius which makes real ones look bad.
ReplyDeleteActually, I can believe he's a statistical "genius." Given the fact any cheap machine can do advanced statistics these days, it's not much of an indicator of real human intelligence, something that is true for any human activity that can be easily automated.
At best, this kind of genius is very narrow and looks more like (idiot-)savant syndrome.
Are you an idiot-savant, CS? You can tell me. I won't laugh.
TG is correct MI is not photogenic
ReplyDeleteI never said that. Are you able to read for comprehension?
TG
ReplyDeletetry to stay on topic, getting advice from Terence Parnel?
He is batting zero since Martin lost power. He still refuses to provide any links or proof to his "inside knowledge" of posters.
Happy Halloween, don't forget to scare the children with stories of a CPC majority.
try to stay on topic,
ReplyDeleteI am on topic, knob. Learn how to read for comprehension.
TG - CS just does not know what "on topic" means, as he demonstrates over and over again on this blog.
ReplyDeleteFist clenching is funny.
Obsessing about fist clennching instead of discussing ideas is sad. We are a superficial lot. I blame MTV.
TG
ReplyDeleteknob?
what is it you guys and the use of props?
Buttons, bodybags, logos..etc
After the Liberal doorknob publicity stunt when are you going to learn?
Wait! Wait! I have one too!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think he's trying to channel Madonna as Evita or George Michael.
YMMV.
oh man Oakville Crackpot is up to his public masturbating again. Whenever he hears ignatieff's name he seems to go at it. Very pavlovian
ReplyDeleteObsessing about fist clennching instead of discussing ideas is sad. We are a superficial lot.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind if the frikkin' righty trolls weren't so frikkin' humourless.
This post merited two, maybe three snarky comments and one or two serious ones. But the trolls showed and it became a politcal discussion.
Bah. Fuck 'em. Up their cornholes.
TG
ReplyDeleteyou should get together with Gene apparently both of you have a great deal in common, a need for props.

Back again on post...
MI has a new themesong?
War!
Clenching the fists of dissent
Lies!
Clenching the fists of dissent
Fear!
