Onward with the hottest public officials of the summer, it’s…
4. Peter Mackay, Conservative, Central Nova
Mackay’s fall from grace is well documented: First he was all “smitten,” then he was crying at some farm with some dog that wasn’t even his. Regardless of whether he was taking orders from Steven Harper (“hey Pete, pretend you’re sad to win support!”) or was actually heartbroken, Peter Mackay is still a giant-sized cheeseball. What Mackay doesn’t realize, though, is that these “sensitive guy” tactics were popular in the 90′s, and are considered a major character flaw today (see Vince Carter). What would happen if Mackay lost his lunch money? Or what if someone called him a mean name? Or, worst of all, what if his lady friend forgets their 2-month anniversary! Still, Mackay’s pained facial expressions and cool guy dress make him the Nicholas Cage of the National Capital Region. If there was one male to bond with while on the BBQ circuit this summer, it’s Mackay. Just don’t throw the football too hard – he may go home in tears.
