text: The Harper type of Reform Con (and that is what new leader Scheer is as well) appear to be foaming at the mouth with jealousy over Trudeau - still.
  
  They seem to forget that Harper tried mightily to run his government on glib photo ops.  As we are in August, they might remember that this entire month was often devoted to Harper's Arctic visits, posing on ships, posing with his "cabinet" and a podium on the permafrost, etc.  Harper also demanded the questions from journalists so he could rehearse his "answers" before the supposed media scrum.
  
  The jealousy appears partly due to Trudeau being so good at impromptu photo ops while the Harperites were just awful at all their "government by visual" manipulations including their dreadful channel 24/7/.  
  
  I don't vote Liberal but for all the gnashing and wailing from the Cons - Trudeau still looks authentic and Scheer looks like Harper with a painfully fixed grin.
