Where's Laureen?

STOP!

DO NOT SCROLL DOWN!


Are they gone? Then let's continue...

So your Stephen Harper and your trying to shake the image of scary, 'evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet.' You have a cute little hottie for a wife. You display her a bit, no?

NO! Apparently...

Before we continue, here's the three main ladies:












For those unfamiliar, the above ladies are (from left to right) Laureen Harper, Olivia Chow (wife of Jack Layton), Shiela Martin.

Now I admit that Laureen is not really a hottie, but she's nice looking - nicer looking than him. And, if you are trying to improve your image, well, she's nice looking, she has three degrees( in journalism, computer graphics and photography), and she is a politico, not some shy wish I wasn't here political wife(see more here). And check out this quote from Wilkopedia:

The Canadian newsmedia have generally noted that Teskey is far more personable and friendly before the camera compared to her husband. Teskey has recently acquired the political moniker "The Chatelaine of Stornoway" due to her blond good looks and prominence in Harper's political tours and press junkets.'

So if she's more personable and friendly, has blonde good looks and is bright and politically active, where the hell is she? Really Stephen, get her to a good hairdresser, get her to a good stylist and then show her off a bit, it really can't hurt.
