Sorry, your country's leader can't beat this awesomeness

Canada’s Prime Minister, Stephen Harper. And friends. :slight_smile:

Seriously?

Srsly.

Kthnxbai.

Who were the politicians who described their opponents as ‘kitten-eating space aliens’?

Bill Clinton had his share of pussy.

It was the Ontario Conservative Party under Ernie Eves.

“Evil reptilian kitten eater from another planet” was the exact phrase.

Huh, was his blue sweater at the drycleaners?

The French equivalent of the OP’s picture.

You’ve been out-awesomed by France.

On the other hand, when was the last time your leaders choked some guy?

Here’s what we have to offer.

I reject your submission, because I don’t think she’s awesome. On a mostly-related subject, I will now always think of Pepe Le Peau whenever I see a picture of President Sarkozy. :slight_smile:

I kept the newspaper with the picture of PM Chretién choking some dude on the front because it is also very awesome. I still have it downstairs.

ETA: The picture in question.

East German’s guy was pretty awesome.

Ah, but does your head of state do this?

Not to mention that the victim apologized to him! Now that’s hardcore.

I thought this was going to be about the other thing I’ve heard about Stephen Harper recently, that he locked himself in a toilet in Brazil until Dilma Rousseff agreed to let him speak first at a luncheon, or something like that. Has anyone else heard that story, or did I dream it?

A man’s man.

Teddy Roosevelt was staging manly photo ops a century ago. Feh.

Here’s the last leader of Ireland who was recently chucked out. A more drunken Irish head you won’t see very often.

But have any of your countries ever actually lost a leader?

I don’t mean died. I mean just disappeared, never to be found?

Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt

He went for a swim, in the presence of friends and bodyguards, and just never came back.
