David Schreck Peering at the Premier Clark’s Ample Balcony: Who Could Blame Him?
In my university years I took many sociology courses as electives. Without really wanting it to become a minor, it did–although I formally graduated with my first degree in Political Science and Economics.
One sociology course, in particular, was ‘Human Sexuality’. I started the first elective beginning in first year and took several over the next three. There was the requisite amount of giggling by some when the anatomically correct dummy appeared, although the explanation of its functions (read: our functions) was less so when words like ‘syphillis’ and ‘gonorrhea’ were uttered.
And living through the heart-stopping genesis of something called ‘AIDS’ was altogether harrowing.
During those lectures, you couldn’t hear a pin drop.
Nonetheless, it was a four year series that was exceedingly informative and provided tremendous background on everything from ‘Gay Brain Theory’ to something we might find relevant today.
Why heterosexual men notice and are sometimes attracted to, but often thoroughly transfixed by, women’s breasts.
I actually wrote a mid-term essay on that precise topic. Apart from the typical juvenile humor expected (and that I enjoyed) during such an effort (I was all of 20), the real reasons go well-beyond the hypotheses about being breast-fed too long, or how there might by an underlying Oedipal premise.
Sometimes, a calculating woman (as a calculating man) can, perhaps with great intent, do a run on the currency of a staid situation and transform it into a hyper-sexualized environment to showcase the squeeze box all while pretending it was a simple matter of happenstance.
Yesterday an entire TWITter storm erupted (where else but the cauldron of TWITS ?!) over the comments by former NDP MLA David Schreck.
David, whom I have had the absolute pleasure of meeting on many occasions, consider a perfect gentleman and one of BC’s finer political minds, objected to the Legislature feed featuring the Premier in a tight top and jacket with some cleavage showing.
Now, before we go any further: Christy Clark is a very attractive woman, despite her lack of a functioning brain and her shameless lying to the public she claims to care about. She knows she’s attractive and so do her handlers. The strategically tight outfits, the four inch heels (she’s quite short)–it’s obvious. She oozes sexuality, is highly flirtatious and that combination, sadly, is a boon to her political career because there are enough idiots in the voting world who will cast a ballot for her on these qualities alone. She knows this too.
The Premier has clearly played off this sexuality for a majority of her adult life, particularly since being at CKNW, where her wings grew exponentially.
I’ve dated and had relationships with dozens of large-breasted women (although I’m a leg man) and it’s very difficult to find clothing to conceal what the Good Lord has blessed you with. Was the Premier showing them off? Was Mr. Schreck wrong?
Well, let’s have a look. This is from the recent ‘Order of BC’ swearing in ceremony. From her own Facebook page.
Apparently, Ms. Clark knows exactly what to wear for such serious propositions as government business.
Then again, this, below, is from a meeting she conducted with some young men the same day as the alleged tit offensive in the Legislature. Once more, from her own Facebook page:
Is this the ‘New Era’ of BC Liberal women politicians? Is this appropriate attire? Minus the pomp and circumstance, this meeting is no less a government occasion than the ‘Order of BC’ ceremony. So why the two standards?
Twenty years ago, I worked as a speech writer in an Ottawa filled with beautiful women in political life. Chief among them was former Mulroney Cabinet Minister Barbara McDougall, someone of such elegance and grace that wouldn’t have dreamt of sexualizing her appearances or interaction with anyone, And she had the most incredible Liz Taylor eyes and fabulously shapely legs. But you’d never catch her trading off her sexuality because her greatest asset was her awesome intellect. She knew that’s why she was there.
I’ve met hundreds of women in politics. The ones who dressed as if they were in a perpetual state of cocktailitis you either ended up bedding (and often without much effort) or dismissed altogether. I’m not proud of making that statement, believe me, but it’s the way it was.
Though, to be brutally frank, it appears that it’s the way it still is.
To deny this is to ignore the reaction to David Schreck’s reasonable comments.
Adrian Dix demanded an apology from David. What else could he do? The NDP, stalled at the 38% mark in the polls (although leading the BC Liberals by at least a dozen points) cannot afford to lose women voters, who traditionally break to them.
Even conservative women consider any perceived attack as distasteful.
It’s the solidarity of the hooter sisterhood.
Lesli Boldt, yet another seemingly dim PR hack now (hysterically) considered a ‘pundit’ went on the attack against David. A bra-burner in Armani, a BMW socialist, who is, of course, a staunch Vision Vancouver supporter and counts among her clients: The City of Vancouver, Jim Hoggan and Associates, Pivot Legal Society, Vision Vancouver greenfather Joel Solomon’s Renewal Partners, VanCity Credit Union (a long-time landing pad of NDPers and left-leaning Liberals) and the Vancouver School Board, went after David in a most distasteful manner. Apparently, demanding business attire in the Legislature is offside for Ms. Boldt. Brains, to her, must be irrelevant, as if you’ve ever heard her on the perpetually absurd ‘Bill Good Show’ you’ll know why.
And then there was the most pathetic back and forth this morning on NW between Philip Till and (most disappointingly) Mike Smyth. While Till was typically annoying it was Mike who couldn’t string a coherent thought together about this brouhaha. They blamed David because they saw nothing wrong with Christy Clark appearing as she did. But it was Mike who made the absolutely inane contention that “at least she didn’t show up wearing a négligé.” How can that even be considered a comparison with what actually did happen??? Ridiculous. He must have had an off day.
Honestly, with commentary like that is it any wonder women do not advance in politics as they should–on their brains and not their boobs? Boldt should know better as she’s apparently trading on her noggin’ (and left wickedness, just look at the clients).
So keep showing us the girls Christy. They’re fabulous and you know it. I’ve seen enough pairs to say they are.
You also know you’re loving every minute of this because it’s reaching an audience you’ll need secure to have any chance of pulling off a miracle and win the next election.
Besides, it’s not like you can show us any brains.
So the rest of you enjoy the ‘Era of the Boob’, because Carole Taylor and Olga Ilich have left the building and the bottom of the barrel is now the top.
And we’re all the poorer, clearly.
Well said Alex..Thank you for bringing some sanity to this idiocy.
I have been following this craziness on twitter for the past 24 hours. I actually applauded David for putting in writing what I’m sure many of us are thinking.
I have always felt Christy has been using the “girls” to distract from the fact that her words have no substance…I notice on twitter Christy’s ex husband has been using this to distract and attack, firing up the young feminists in the crowd..
What I also find very interesting is that on CKNW tomorrow morning Christy Clark has agreed to come on air with Bill Good and will open the mic’s to us for I believe he said an an entire hour…what perfect timing..
I’d be willing to bet that the decision to go on air was made as the Liberals saw this as an opportunity to derail the conversation from anything of substance….
Example, group home closures for developmentally disabled adults, or allowing television cameras into courtrooms for the rioters…..I’m curious would Christy Clark consider cameras in an Inquiry into the sale of BC Rail ?
This current government is shameless…I urge everyone to call into CKNW tomorrow and ask the tough questions of Christy Clark beyond her perky “girls” , this behavior has set back the progress of women’s credibility by 40 years .
Think about it and ask her the tough questions tomorrow at 8:35 am.
Anyone can buy boobs, but integrity can’t be bought..
[Translate]
Alex, quit defending David Shreck. You’re a better man and you know it.
To single out Lesli Boldt when Mary Polak, Alise Mills and now Tara Jean are all angry as heck @ this matter really is incomplete. A lotta women think Shreck is a pervert and I for one agree with the womenfolk. Heck, the Premier’s got a big natural endowment and even fully covered up it’s obvious.
That said, the Premier has got to realize that her genetic gifts simply put must be married to strategy and brains. After all, I think this is a distraction and hopefully Sean Leslie & CFAX will find better pundits who won’t abuse Alise Mills.
[Translate]
When you’ve completed your meds for the day come back. Ridiculous.
[Translate]
That is daft!
If Mr. Shreck (whom I usually have no time for) were a pervert, I do not think he would be criticizing Premier Snooki for her sexy attire.
A prude, maybe, although I completely agree with him and Alex. Showing off the girls in the Legislature is not appropriate (I otherwise enjoy seeing cleavage!).
[Translate]
You and I both.
[Translate]
I must agree with David. If you have a brain, you need not show boobs. How many men show up in the legislature with collars undone and chest hair showing?
In a position such as Snookie aspires to, the situation dictates the dress code. Would Carole Taylor have delivered her budget wearing revealing apparel? Has Carol James shown off her girls? Just another example of our Photo-Op unelected Premier who will go to any lengths to ‘titillate’ for votes!
(Sorry ’bout that Alex.. heh.)
[Translate]
No problem.
[Translate]
I’m in the service business, and I too had the pleasure of meeting David Schreck while I was working at the premier’s office. Real nice guy, got me a coffee and I felt more like a guest than a service tech. (maybe he wanted to be my business partner because he saw the future with Dosanjh)
BUT
I don’t see him as the next Klein or Armani designer.Although he keeps us abreast of his views, it seems to always be a tit for tat situation. It’s like finding Waldo with the amount of liberal boobs surrounding Qweeen Qristee . Judas Priest, they’re just a pair of deflated wind socks at her age anyway.
[Translate]
She is a waste of a good pair of boobs.
[Translate]
A women’s cleavage is quite attractive. If you don’t like it, go join the Taliban.
[Translate]
I think could provide just few references to attest that I quite agree with you.
But being in business and particularly in public life is a proposition that requires some dignity.
Using your tits, however lovely in the Premier’s case, to further your political life line says more about you than the morons who would fall for it.
[Translate]
Air head with plastic bag boobs whats really funny is how many women defend using her cleavage as advertising who are peers i say NDP finds some new blood at the Drake to show up CLark and see how she handles it :}, i cant take any of this as serious Clarks an airhead and the rest just proves it.
[Translate]
Hey, women have used their attributes to get what they want for years. It is not necessarily wrong to do so, if done “tastefully”! I remember telling you about being at a mayoralty debate at the Surrey Inn (then) where Dianne Watts in her first attempt appeared with the other candidates on a raised stage in one of their banquet/meeting rooms. I recall thinking that if the stage was any higher, and her skirts the same, the fire alarms might have been triggered. I remember looking around to see if I was alone in noticing the length (wrong word) of her dress. Nope! I would bet money that none of the men would be able to tell you a word she said that night. All’s fair in love, war and politics. But let us not assume that it is a characteristic of only one political position. Some men may do the same thing, use their masculinity to garner votes, it’s just that few men would know it, but you can bet the ladies do.
Ms. Clark wiggles her way into popularity, and Obama saunters his way in, some stroll, others prance, me, I just shamble, and it has no effect on anyone; but then, it is not meant to.
[Translate]
Absurd. Completely absurd. I was at that debate in 2005 as a campaign worker for Dianne. The skirt you refer to was short perhaps for you but not at all obscene as you suggest. Not even close to inappropriate. I’ve told you this many times but you still insist. Dianne is a much more attractive woman than the Premier and she’s ALWAYS tasteful and appropriate. Never flashing or accentuating a damn thing.
Get a grip. Or perhaps stop pulling so hard…you’re hallucinating.
[Translate]
I guess it’s all a matter of perspective ….. stop pulling so hard?
[Translate]
Alex, I am not suggesting she was obscene, but, as I recall, she was very striking, she has very long legs (as I remember), and she used them to her advantage. Women are very aware of their best features, be it their hair, their breasts, legs, face, movement, whatever. I really can’t say that I have seen Christie Clark inappropriately dressed. She happens to be one of those women who are, excuse the terminology, well stacked! I don’t think it is that she wears things too tightly, or that she wears plunging necklines or is “spilling out” of her clothes. In fact, I think she is quite conservative in her styling, and it suits her. It has nothing to say about her capabilities as a premier, where she seems to have a problem with honesty. That is not sexy at all.
[Translate]
Oh good grief…
[Translate]
Hello! Alex! Well, Helllo Alex! it’s soooo NICE to have you back where you belong…
The rest has done you good, if the fulmination over these last two posts is any indication. LMAO!! my, god, my god…
Ladies and gentleman:: buckle up! It’s going to be a BUMPY ride!
[Translate]
Strap on! I mean, strap in…oh that damn Christy. Look where she makes us go! LMAO!
[Translate]
Don’t know why everyone is discussing Chrustie’s front end, it certainly isn’t leading anywhere.
Her temporary “mission accomplished”, another distraction from the realities in this province.
j
[Translate]
I never agree with Schreck on anything, but, he’s hit a bullseye on this one….or two anyways.
There’s a time for showing some skin, and there’s many times not to.
As representative of the government/people of BC, it is NOT appropriate to show any part of the puppies, or for that matter, a skirt above the knees, in an official capacity.
She has to consider this as a professional job, not as a street professional.
[Translate]
Rack it up to fundamental manippleation. Just keeping abreast with the times. Her handlers cry, ‘There be gold in them thar’ hills!’
[Translate]
You’re too good.
[Translate]
Mike Smyth has put himself on the wrong side of this issue. In his article in The Province this morning, he sounded like he was thinking with the wrong head.
Being the Premier of a province comes with certain expectations of decorum. The outfit Christy wore yesterday was just not acceptable for occaision.
[Translate]
I’m extremely disappointed with Mike Smyth on this issue. I’m one of his biggest supporters online and he thoroughly blew it on this one. He sounded like a frat boy in heat. Ridiculous.
[Translate]
What an excellent article. Thanks for a commonsense perspective on this. The prudish mainstream media can’t do this issue justice like you just did.
[Translate]
Thank you.

Phil Till?
Every time he has something to say, my eyes start rolling backwards in my eye sockets like the display in a Vega one-armed-bandit.

OOPS Vegas one-armed-bandit.
Sorry, the “Phil Till Effect”.

BC Christy has the outfits to headline at The Penthouse.

It’s quite pathetic how in such a short time she and her wrecking crew have degrades the BC government well-beyond anything Campbell did.
Just like she and her ex-husband did during the Martin occupation of the federal Liberals. A political genocide.
[Translate]
I’m enclosing an excerpt from an e-mail that I sent to Mike Smith, after hearing his exchange with Phillip Till, and reading Smith’s column:
“I’m trying to decide who has the bigger problem:
David Schreck – for raising this. BTW, why should the dippers have to explain the views of a retired MLA?
You – for trying to turn this into a front page story. With everything going on in Victoria, is this the best that you come up with? If you are really stuck for ideas, try reading Vaughn Palmer or Sean Holman.”
Ironically, while I strongly feel that there must be more important issues than this, my wife feels that Schreck is 100% right. Regardless, I’ll keep reading his blog every week.
[Translate]
More than several years ago, I had a discussion with a buyer about a certain sales person … of the female type.
He noted, that as he became a more “difficult” buyer, that the view from his chair improved on subsequent visits from her.
My guess is that we will be seeing a lot more of CC.
[Translate]
Those cannons weren’t distracting anybody yesterday at the meeting with members of the Victoria Chamber of Commerce. Christy went on about two great Victoria companies and their future. However, she forgot the companies are not located in Victoria. They are from Burnaby. It was funny watching a number of people trying to hold back laughter after her blunder. She definitely has more boobs than brains. I’d say a 3:1 ratio.
[Translate]
I heard from two others in the room that thoroughly snickered right through her remarks.
She’s quite pathetic.
[Translate]
Was it appropriate for the NDP’s little pepper-box, Joy McPhail to place a dancing penis on the desk of a late MLA who just happened to be gay? Talk about a lack of propriety! You can imagine what a caterwaul there would have been if had been a member of the B.C. Conservatives.

Excellent example. Superb analysis.

Well, the bottom of the barrel has come to the top. Cannot be said better. The most disturbing part of this picture are, unfortunately, BC voters. Don’t you think that those voting for the boobs of a brain-deficient figure do deserve to have her as their premier? The only hope for this province is that her understanding of economics is probably as profound as of politics and she’s already sealed her fate by back-pedalling from an early election. Her job creation plans are an almost sure failure in light of the Chinese debt situation, global slowdown triggering a sharp fall of commodity prices (Canada, and BC in particular, is still a mostly raw material exporter), the US deepening crisis clandestinely aggravated by Obama and his ally Buffet in win a second term and majority in both houses in order to start taxing the highest income earners plus an increasingly cautious budgetary stance of the federal government of Canada. Add an absolutely idiotic delay in restoring the pre-HST value-added and sales tax system that makes many potential buyers of big-ticket items of goods and services wait until it’s back, and you’ll have a reasonably clear idea that all these factors have a tremendous job-killing potential. The clock is ticking. You’ve also mentioned Barbara McDougall and this makes me express an opinion that the Mulroney government was the last competent one Canada has had after Trudeau. Steven Harper still has to learn a lot, but he’s at least on the right track.
[Translate]
You raise some very good points. Although, I’m not sure how competent Trudeau or his governments were. They did a ton of damage.
[Translate]
What exactly is Dix trying to emphasize in the photo accompanying the above link?
[Translate]
How to disarm a paper airplane bomb.
[Translate]
Sorry, I was’t clear enough. The Trudeau government (with Jean Chretien as the Minister of Finance) was, IMHO, one of the worst in Canadian history, even worse than the corrupt Chretien government (Chretien, like Mao, wrote his Red Book but, after beating Kim Campbell, stole and tried to incorporate almost all PC election agenda) that, among many others, cancelled the purchase of excellent rescue helicopters paying hefty fines and bought the same choppers years later at higher prices and with less sophisticated auxiliary equipment. I intended to use Trudeau to underline the contrast between his carelessness and PC competency.
[Translate]
Ah, gotcha…
[Translate]
Think about the damage done by Mulroney for a second. Or the Harper parallel to Diefenbaker in getting duped by our “good friends” to the south into buying the non-functional for our mission F-35s. Watch what you wish for. Weren’t we talking boobs anyway??
[Translate]
Actually, I think about the good government we had under Mulroney all the time. Harper was NOT duped. He simply recommitted to a deal we’ve had going since then–keeping our skies and country safe according to the prevailing threat in the world. I guess you’d feel better if we just waited for a 9/11 here? Give your head a shake.
Back on topic please.
[Translate]
Probably every time you pay GST or ride on an Airbus. Harper wanted to be duped. A well maintained fleet of F18s will do a better job quite a bit cheaper, but then its only money, right?? Good to know that you have your mind made up anyway.
[Translate]
Wrong. I spoke to many of the officers at Cold Lake, were two friends are stationed. Every last one of them provided detailed arguments for why the new fighters were a necessity. The old “maintained” F-18s would have been hazards and expensive ones too.
My mind is always made up when it comes to supporting our gallant fighting men and women. I don’t hesitate. Perhaps you have that luxury.
[Translate]
No argument about the troops, let’s just buy them aircraft that are capable of carrying enough fuel to get to where the job needs to be done like say the Arctic. What jet jockey wouldn’t want a nice shiny new f35 over an f18 that might need a paint job?? Why don’t you ask the infantry what rifle they want? Why do we use our proven standbys that we can repair and keep in service?
[Translate]
Stop with the anti-military, anti-war stupidity. You don’t even make sense. But your bias is so deep and nasty it doesn’t surprise me.
You don’t put heroes in substandard equipment. Period, end of story. The F-18 were presenting problems at their age and costing millions more per year in upkeep and repairs.
I’d go further on the safety of those who keep your ass safe but your ungratefulness would simply be repeated.
[Translate]
Nothing anti military in my comments Alex. Just pointing out that even I might prefer to fly a new Husky over my 50 year old Super Cub. the only thing holding me back is that I can’t justify one, much like our government can’t afford the F35 program. To some the Husky might have cool factor, but the Cub lands and gets out just as short, has same payload and I can get parts for it almost anywhere for less money. Nothing sub-standard about it, just pure practicality and affordability. Same things apply to the F18s. Don’t think that any aircraft will fly maintenance free. New or old still require the same inspections, compliance with aviation directives, etc. and replacement of time x-ed parts. I am not ungrateful about the work our military does and fail to understand how questioning costs and Harper’s decision make me anti military.
[Translate]
Complete nonsense.
Comparing recreational planes with military planes that are meant to keep us safe and deliver cover to our troops is asinine. I can’t compute such lunacy. Sorry. You can question the Govt. on whatever you want but when it’s not a like comparison you sound foolish.
And anti-military. Like it or not.
[Translate]
Sorry Alex, I got all confused.
When I read and hear “Big Boobs + BC Legislature” I thought we were going to be talking about Mike DeJong and Harry Bloy!
Also, on the topic of big boobs, Christy Clark will be on Bill Good Friday morning!

I really have to disagree with you on the premier. She is not an attractive lady at all. I really don’t get why some people say she is. Anyway her appearance should have no bearing on how people judge her political and non-political career.
[Translate]
She’s not ugly, physically anyways, but she’s….. plain. If she were just an average woman sauntering down the street, I don’t think she’d garner a second glance. She’d just blend in with the woodwork.
[Translate]
Schreck achieved his objective, volley, Adrian, slam. Much ado about nothing. CC has yet to wear anything distasteful or disrespectful. Modern women who express themselves with stylish flair are not judged on this basis for good reason. Modern men, regard women as equals and while sexuality is apparent, it is respected. If it sells to the low brows or offends the proprieties of prudes, so be it. Fortunately the ship has turned and perhaps a few years from now, Schreck’s comment would receive but a mere glance and be seen as sexist drivel.
Not to deny the obvious, there are plenty of people who rely on sexuality to make up for lack of intellect. cae in point:

This whole brouhaha could all be wrapped up by a quote from The Bard of Avon,”… a tempest in a teapot signifying nothing.” I have no use for Ms. Clark and her party of corporate puppets, but her wardrobe is entirely within the decorum of ordinary business dress.

Little miss rudeness and sarcasim Shirley Bond had to apoligize to Lenard Krog,ha good for the little which
[Translate]
Agreed.
[Translate]
This is an excellent column Alex. If Christy Clark aspires to be premier, she must remember that she is a role model for children as well as others. She represents all British Columbians, and should display a certain decorum on our behalf. Does she not get that?
I’m a woman, and I enjoy dressing in a splashy manner (yes, even displaying cleavage) when going out to dinner or a party with my husband. I will not wear such clothing in the work environment. Really, who does that? Certainly not the sharp, professional women I know.
I am embarrassed by Ms. Clark’s deportment. Not just her choice of clothing, but her flirtatious behaviour with workers in Prince Rupert/George during one of her program announcements.
Ms. Clark has cheapened our province just by her very presence. This reflects very poorly on her judgment overall.
Thank you for not avoiding the obvious Alex (pardon the pun). To elevate this tawdry woman’s behaviour to “erotic capital” as CBC did on their drive-home show today is just ludicrous. “Erotic capital” — that’s what a stripper and a hooker trade on; that’s not what a premier is supposed to trade on.
[Translate]
NOTE TO READERS: SUPERB COMMENT–REQUIRED READING.
[Translate]
I’m the same way. I enjoy showing off the girls at a party or what-have-you, but when it comes to work? No cleavage. Mind you, I work at a place where I can go to work in those lulubutt pants and nobody cares. If I show up with a mass amount of cleavage, not only do the boys in the shop I supervise make comments about it, customers do too, and in the industry I’m in, we get some pretty creepy people sauntering in the door, and their comments are bordering on sexual harassment. I had to kick a guy out once who WOULDN’T STOP STARING and making comments about my chest.
What was I wearing? A turtleneck and a track jacket. Totally asking for unwanted attention.
[Translate]
So then you can understand the Premier’s peekaboo effort was inappropriate.
[Translate]
Yup.
[Translate]
Your glowing admiration for Barbara McDougall is misplaced. She is a former Director of Imperial Tobacco, a merchant of death. Christy Clark is proposing to use part of the tobacco taxes collected to help people stop smoking.
Since I have lost relatives to lung cancer due to their tobacco addictions, I have a lot more respect for Christy than for Barbara. Christy has a healthy pair of lungs and a healthy attitude.
The NDP has always been the party of envy. They are envious of people who save their earnings and use it to buy a house instead of blowing it all on booze and other drugs. NDP floorsweepers, ditchdiggers and lawn mowers are envious of people who work in fields that require intellect. And now NDP supporters who either look like Libby Davies or are married to someone who looks like Libby Davies are jealous of politicians who look like Christy Clark or Diane Watts.
[this is a correction of an earlier submission]
[Translate]
Oh how clever: You’ve included Mega Watts with middling Christy. Give it a rest.
I was referring to Barbara’s exemplary work in Govt. What she did outside of that is none of my concern. I smoke cigars. If I should contract lung cancer or more likely esophageal cancer should I blame the Board of Davidoff or Bolivar.
Give your head a shake. You are basically giving Christy a pass because she’s not connected to tobacco but she’s lied about her involvement in BC Rail and lied about almost everything she’s done in public life.
Makes perfect sense. You’re a genius.
