Let me see if I can explain. Years ago we had a Prime Minister who had
a very large, prominent jaw - not unlike John Kerry's. We have a city
in Saskatchewan called Moose Jaw. Comedians in Canada used to refer to
said ex-Prime Minister as Moose Jaw. He isn't in the White House.
Neither is John Kerry.

I'm Canadian and didn't get it. I've never heard of one of our PM's being
called Moose Jaw. I know who it refers to, but never heard it in that
context. And I don't think John Kerry has near the chin Mulroney does -
thus the confusion.

Either way, it wasn't funny or smart. Kind of dumb, and off topic.

I believe it was posted as OT - that means OFF TOPIC.
Get over yourself. It was a JOKE...get it?

Thanks Lybbe, I love ya. I couldn't bear to explain a joke to someone that
dense. Bright Star, my [censored].
Go Google 'Kerry Cartoon' and see 'The Jaw' as the satirical world sees it,
B.S., and I apologize
for being the first in the group to post OT. You could also find Moose Jaw
in Vegas and on The
Tonight Show.......

I am also Canadian, and I've never heard that Prime minister referred to
as "Moose Jaw." And no, I haven't been living under a rock, and I'm not
particularly young.

We always called him BM the PM.

I'm 39 and 300 months old and never heard of Mulroney being called
'Moose Jaw' either.

Must be an Ontario thing. If I had the time or inclination I'd look up
references from CBC. The term MAY have originated with Rick Mercer.
Who knows? and really...who cares?

True -- it's not really important, but then some learned that some
expressions can be regional, and others learned a new way to describe
'whatshisname'!
