Politicians, strings attached

Some people say that Prime Minister Stephen Harper's cabinet is made up of mere puppets. Some people make puppets.  Here's where those two types of  thinking  merge: a story in U of T Magazine about Gabe Thirlwall, who designs political puppets. (Stocking stuffers, anyone?)  And here's  the part of the story I found intriguing.

The most popular puppet is John Baird, outfitted in pink lamé. Almost no one wants poor old Jim Flaherty, even with his glittery gold shoes. “Maybe I can put him on sale,” muses Thirlwall.

I'm happy to post pictures of the Baird and Flaherty puppets, if anyone has them handy.

Given the fuss over the photoshp competition, this is probably not a good idea.
