Boiled Dog's Head Smiles

It's interesting to watch this election. The media and even voters are ready to throw somebody to the sharks - and you know when people start talking about about the things that get said during elections and how that is interpreted in other cultures we could be in for a bumpy ride.

In this case Industry Minister David Emerson refered to Jack Layton as having a "boiled dog's head smile."

But the dirty little secret of it all is that this campaigning in other languages is tool politicos have been increasingly using.
