Glad as Hell Tour '05: Calgary Stop
I must say I was quite disappointed today. I'd heard that Harper would be flipping pancakes at two breakfasts in Calgary this week and was expecting a lot of material for the Glad as Hell Tour updates. But I have yet to see any news stories recapping the events.
Then, lo and behold, Warren digs up a great picture of Harper from the Stampede parade on Friday. So, although I have no eye witness or news accounts of Harper's time in Calgary, given his lack of predictability I feel confident giving a full recap of the event. Besides...if he'd, like, you know, bludgeoned Jim Prentice with a spatula, we likely would have heard about it.
Stop 2: Calgary Stampede
Location: Calgary, Alberta. (Harper no doubt wanting to convert the final 7 non-Conservatives left in the city)
Positives: Resisted the overwhelming urge to wear the matching assless chaps for his outfit. Also, no media attention means no one in Toronto saw the words "Stephen Harper" and "Calgary" and "cowboy" together in one sentence. Which is likely a good thing for a guy still carrying Reform Party baggage.
Negatives: I know people say he wears suits to often but...I'm not sure this outfit is really the look he's going for.
Human Index: The cowboy outfit moves him above Johnny 5, but he's not quite at Agent Smith level yet. So, he gets level 4.5 - Bender.

oh man, that's the next PM?
Somebody really should have advised him against wearing that tiny vest.

Snug, sleeveless leather vests are always à-propos at a good ribs party.
Thank you SO much for this picture.

At least we now know what Harper would have worn to Toronto Pride if he hadn't been otherwise occupied.

Has anyone bothered to e-mail that picture to the Star and the CBC yet? I watched the news last night and didn't see any Ducepping of Harper's funny-ass picture.

Question: Is this only a stampede thing or do people in Calgary really dress like that?
Because I've been to Dallas and it seemed pretty tame in terms of fashion. At least compared to Monsieur Harper's Lucky Luke outfit.

What a laugh! Thanks, Calgary Grit and Warren. And Martin B., it's not just so much the costume but the awful comboy hat - not a real stetson. This photo screams for a caption!

Know what, unless you actually raise cattle or horses for a living, or participate in a Rodeo, then don't wear the garb. Jeez Stephen, doesn't your wife check you out before you leave the house? This is as bad as farmer decked out in an Hugo Boss suit, looks just as bad and is just as fake. (and I am a staunch Conservative supporter)

Priceless, CG. Absolutely priceless. Keep up the Glad as Hell Tour blogging! It's right up there with Duceppe's hairnet from 2000, Dukakis's tank helmet from 1988 and Kerry's scrubs outfit from 2004. Saw it first thing this morning on Kinsella's site. What a great way to start such a hot day in Toronto.
And Debbie T., it screams so loud for a caption that we set up a captions list over at Cerberus. (Sorry for the shameless and gratuitous blog plug on your blog, CG; I'm just having way too much fun with this photo!!)

This reminds me of that picture from a few years back of Chretien driving the tank...
His hat is on backwards.

Mike: do you have a link? I don't remember that one. I think someone needs to start a Politicians Hall of Shame blog or website. Without thinking about it, we have Harper (twice in two months if you include the football bauble), Duceppe, Dukakis, Kerry, Chretien twice (if you include the choke-hold photo). Anyone willing?

Did nobody tell him the damn hat is on backwards. Talk about a guy from Ontario trying too hard to be Albertan.
That shot could be the very, very last straw for a bunch of people. The voters were prepared to consider electing an angry man, but electing a guy who looks that goofy is just so wrong.
That pic will never, ever go away.
If the Herald is smart, they will enlarge it and sell posters. Grits all over the country will snap it up like ice cream on a hot day in Toronto.

The first thing I thought (well actually, the second, after my initial dismay) upon seeing that photo was:
"Well, at least it might help us in the gay community".
Looks like a few other people are thinking the same thing. ;)
Save a horse - ride a cowboy.

The Calgary hat is not a Stetson, but a Smithbilt. All you anti-American, leftist, smart-smart-smart pundits, you don't know and don't care about what actually makes you Canadian.
:-p

Stevie-H wears dresses like a dork, and it's an opportunity to claim we are all "anti-American, leftist, smart-smart-smart pundits".
Who really gives a damn what type of hat you wear?

Thank you so much for making my day. That's one of the funniest god damn pictures I've ever seen. And I thought I'd choke laughing at the comment "Positives: Resisted the
overwhelming urge to wear the matching ass-less chaps for his outfit."

You have a nice blog. I admire you. Good job.

Just to let you know, even though you have a fine site page, there are a ton of reverse phone lookup opportunities accessible to use. First of all one of the first stuff that you need to keep in mind is that there are a lot of unique types of reverse phone lookup organizations out here that would like to charge you an arm and a leg just to carry out a lookup. And sadly, a lot of people pay more than they should for these reverse phone lookup services. So if you want to save a lot of money as you go to check out a reverse phone lookup the best thing to do is to check out an avaialable site that will give you all the results that you want quickly and easily.
