JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: COMMENT ON THE NEW USE OF LAUREEN HARPER IN STEPHEN HARPER'S ELECTION CAMPAIGN


COMMENT POSTED TO A COLUMN IN THE NATIONAL POST


Laureen Harper does at least know how to smile, years of marriage still not having transferred that ability to hubby.

But of a woman who married this creepy man – he is reclusive, largely humorless, often tyrannical, and given to furious bouts of anger (many having testified) - I think it fair to say something important just has to be missing.

Not only are Stephen Harper’s personality and character unattractive, but I'm sure a great many women would agree, the man is not even good-looking. And his body is just as unattractive as his face, having a rear end I've heard described by a woman as a "bucket ass." His stomach too periodically bulges so that you can see his belly button in sweaters, a fact which reminds us that he’s also a mighty poor dresser. Glamorous or attractive, he's not.

So what possibly could be Laureen’s attraction? Power? Ideology? Masochism? All of the above?

Creepy husbands generally do attract creepy wives - as we see in the Bill Clinton or Tony Blair cases – but Laureen gets very little exposure (deliberately?) most of the time, so we can’t really know what she is about.
