That's easy:
My brain.
Brad Pitt's body.
Alexa McDonough's heart.
Harrison Ford's handshake (I have no idea, unfortunately, what it's really like, but I imagine it to be ruggedly masculine, but in a kinder, gentler, less bone-crushing sort of way than, say, Hulk Hogan or Mr. T.).
Hey homosuperior,
I suspect you to be male, in which case your choice of your own brain is highly circumspect.
Brain: Louise Arbour
Body: Who cares, it's a politician!
Heart: how bout nelson mandela? Stephen lewis is plausible as is romeo dallaire
Dignity & Leadership: Ed Broadbent
Humour: that crazy chick from this hour that wore armour.
this sucks... come back to myspace...
Hey anonymous, I am male, but I am also gay, so while my brain may indeed be somewhat suspect, it is not entirely so. And it's mine, so I like it.
That crazy chick was Mary Walsh, and she's fantastic! I LOVE Mary Walsh. The perfect politician would definitely have her sense of humour, so on that we certainly agree.
For heart, Nelson Mandela is an inspired choice, unless, of course, you happen to be a certain elected, Alberta Conservative MP who is on the public record as having called him a terrorist. F***wit!
Anonymous Myspaceophile- what exactly is it about "this" that "sucks"? Quite an argument...
If only we knew where myspace was, then perhaps we'd come back there.
Don't worry k-dough. He's probably a right-wing blogger like "Mike Brock: On the Attack."
Why is it that right-wingers always have to be so angry anyway. I mean, who's oppressing THEM?
HS- they were opressed by their mothers...in banker's visors...and beaten with the Wall Street journal for hours as they watched Family Ties masturbating to the thought of having drunken bi-curious encounters with Alex P Keaton. Have some sympathy man.
K-Dough's Brain
My cat Dashiell's body
Humphrey Bogart's voice
Elmo from Sesame Street's heart
Audrey Hepburn's morals
Joe Carter's home run swing
Superman's ability to fly
Aquaman's ability to communicate with animals under water,
and finally,
My sense of humour.
Yes... the perfect leader...
H-
DiKu-It's like I always wondered in university: Why do you have to dress in derelict clothes you've owned for 20 years, let your facial hair grow out of control and barely be able to squeak out a smile if you are a professor? It's chicken and the egg thing though. Are they slobs because they spend all their time reading and letting their socialization muscles atrophy or are they like that naturally? Similarly, do you have to be a stern-faced lawyer type or bland stuffed shirt to be a poltiican or do the dicates of the job force you into that role?
Good points, k-dough. I think the Canadian population is much more open to political candidates who break the mould than the punditry and party machinery. The punditry don’t embrace changes, whereas the party machinery will only do so if the polling indicates popular support.
I’d be thrilled if we had a JFK in our generation. I’m already happy we’ve got Belinda, if at least for the drama she created when she crossed the floor.
The discussion will eventually come round to the life of a politician. By its very nature, it excludes a lot of people, particularly those who aren’t interested in being ripped apart by the media (let alone the opposition), working 18-hour days away, and sacrificing your family life. I think it’s time we debate the very job description of the politician (if there were one) and examine how it excludes so many Canadians from running and thus, restricts true representation of our diverse country.
But yeah, a politician with a six-pack (of abdominal muscles) would be a start.
Ha! But now you are getting into complex heady topics like democracy and style vs. substance.
Question is: Is it possible to reform democracy AND work out enough to have ripped abs? I can barely manage holding a job, looking after my daughter and holding back a paunch from blossoming into a beer belly !
