As I said, she seems to relish the limelight, so she might arguably make herself a target. Me, I'll hold that for occasions when she embarrasses us, as she does.
However,
How old is this Terry, and is she herself in politics?

Since when do political players get a statute of limitations? How many times have we heard ( including here) that Harper worked in a mail room? She was a talk show media personality and got paid very well for being attractive on camera. Her husband got elected on his good looks and charisma. They both chose to step into the ring. Now if she chooses to step out and wants privacy to raise her family then absolutely she is entitled to that.Quote:

And lots off leeway with respect to being "off limits". You/we griped about how much "the left" went after Ford and his family. Whether that was his wife or made fun of his physical appearance. Two wrongs make a right?You/we can't suck and blow at the same time.
There are certain unwritten rules or niceties if you will. What mother/spouse in their right mind would ever support a JT, Harper, Chretian or Wynne if they were Fair game and ridiculed for everything?
Fact is few, very few have been.
And here I was thinking we were old school gentlemen, where women and children.....;)
Is she in the limelight more than others. Yep, probably taking a cue from Michelle Obama.
If you want to poke fun at her, knock yourself out. I'll reserve that.
/ps have you read up on her background? Unlike her hubby she's actually accomplished things in life, without a silver spoon.
Edit add, incase it's not clear because sometimes we have to be careful.
Targeting or poking fun over "everything". <<insert that word.
She should be able to relish her 15 minutes of fame,but,Michele Obama,she ain't. Frankly,I think the whole crew is a joke.
What I meant by that is that MO seems to be redefining the roles of First Ladies, Wives (or husbands) to Pms. She's in the spotlight a lot throughout.
The sketch was in poor taste. I personally don't care what she has done in the past. The way I see it the two of them have about as much depth as a car park puddle. I am more concerned about going forward given that the two seem to crave the limelight and this is a Prime Minister that is more about being 'celebrity' than being a leader.
Let's be clear, JT could not lead a two man race to the t3r at an Ex-Lax convention!
Lets be clear, he is leading the country.
LOL. He is the face of the party, the old boys in the back room are leading the country.Quote:

In the news yesterday alone.
Trans east pipeline, and Montreal.
statements from him/the party that their priority will be the Unions and reversing things Harper did.
Arguably that will help people in the oil patch with respect to EI but not much else.
Meanwhile Alta burns and Ont flounders, the two drivers for the country.
If the Rebel wants to ridicule Sophie, for silly little songs, or things from her past life.
Missing the boat and "offside"
Personally I think these attacks are for the most part are out of frustration from the public on this forum, Facebook etc . Provincially and Federally the Liberals are doing a horrible job of managing our tax dollars. Is this the new norm ?! I personally cannot accept this sort of behavior from the PM and his wife ! I will not show respect to these self serving people because they have no respect whatsoever for Canadians.
I applaud the Rebel media for revealing what the CBC has conveniently ignored reporting. If Sophie is currently behaving this way and has a past of behaving this way as well then she needs to be held accountable for her actions. It's bad enough JT is out of control and we as Canadians need to witness a balance while he is representing our country. It's sickening enough watching her sing off key during Martin Luther King day. I just cringe when I see them on the news because the majority of the time its something they are doing to embarrass Canadians.
