impolitical caught Ivison doing that gynophobic thing he and his old-boys' club like to do.
From the original version of his column, which the National Post revised to excise Ivison's malignant sexist observation:
Mr. Ignatieff takes the sunny outlook of a girl who mistakes a bulge for a curve.
Are you a Bully Boy hiding behind a Big Girl's skirt, John Ivison? Or do you just play at being one in the pages of the National Post?

I guess Ivy mistakes a fold in his own trousers for a bulge. That's some pretty sunny outlooky stuff right there!
As an overweight woman, I do take exception to Ivison's original analogy.
Bina - ha!
actually, the orig. v. is still up, at
www.nationalpost.com/todays-paper/always+sunny+Ignatieff/3990696/story.html
apparently it was an old quote from an old newspaperman, Ring Lardner (1885-1933; fathered guy who wrote MASH). "An optimist is a girl who mistakes a bulge for a curve."
Ring Lardner was a lot more than Jr.'s dad. John Sayles played him in his cameo in Eight Men Out. I adore both Lardner and Sayles. It was poifect!
