The Globe and Mail, or Fiberal rag as I like to refer to it as, has a repulsive article in yesterday's paper.
Here is an excerpt which activated my gag reflex:
Lean and muscular, Bryant is light on his feet in the ring, where he's
spent hundreds of hours since he took up boxing more than 30 years ago.
But he's also fierce-he squints his eyes and grits his jaw when he
takes a punch, a far cry from the genial and charming demeanour that
has made him such a popular cabinet minister. (He was appointed
attorney general in 2003 and became famous for banning pit bulls.)
Followed by retching…
Bryant took up boxing at the age of 10, after his small size (he's
under 5 foot 8) precluded most team sports. “In boxing, they match you
by weight, so I was sparring with the ittiest-bittiest boxers around,”
he says. Still, he considers his mother's willingness to let him step
into the ring a great sacrifice on her part. “It's hardly a parent's
dream for their child to go off and get hit,” says Bryant, who grew up
near Victoria.
The above statement certainly explains a lot.. I was positive he has small man's syndrome but the proof is in the pudding.. or boxer shorts..
Now here is the excerpt that threw me into Exorcist type, head spinning revoltion.
FIGHTIN' WORDS
- Favourite boxer Muhammad Ali
- Favourite move “Not getting hit”
- Best bout ever Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier in the famous 1975 “Thrilla in Manila” -Ali was declared the winner after 14 rounds
- Worst hit you ever took “Trevor Tobias, right cross, first round, 1982-the rest is fuzzy”
- Best boxing movie Rocky (1976)
- Toughest opponent “Pit bulls, so I banned them”
If you can stomach reading the rest, be my guest.. here is the link.
Ha ha ha! At least Bryant knows what he's up against. Trouble, it's the owners he has to worry about, not the dogs. They don't even know his name.
Lucky critters.
Bryant was 'trained to fight', eh? He should be banned and so should anybody who resembles him.
I'll bet his big mouth from which nonsense flows was the real reason he had to learn to fight as a kid. We would have thumped him for sure. Oh wait, we are thumping him. Heh heh.
btw shouldn't the title be 'please pass the groan and gravol'?
snick.
To bad Bryant's mother and father never taught him to fight “fair”. With his personally it is no wonder he had to take up boxing. His little friends probably caught on to his constant need to be the “centre of attention” no matter what the cost to others or what he had to say to get it. He is one guy that really needs to be “knocked down and out”. Hopefully his political career will end at the next election. St. Paul's riding? I for one WILL will have my “gloves” and be knocking on your doors come election time.
