Observations

I'm not sure why it has taken so long for this to make the press, because it is something Sooz and I have been commenting on since Day 1 of his "reign". We've even noted one day that Homer (our boy cat) was drinking like Morris Iemma.
Here is the Spike column from the Sydney Morning Herald 10 Nov 05:
Every day we see a new side to our once-shy Premier, Morris Dilemma. We have had Morris the sports fan, Morris the tax-canceller and, this week, SuperMorris, terrorism-squasher extraordinaire.
But in every guise, there's something strangely familiar in the Morris that we see, and we've just worked it out: he speaks with his head at an almost constant angle of about 15 degrees. To the left.
At press conferences, door stops, even on the parliamentary website, he leads the people of NSW with his left shoulder. Every breath he takes, every speech he makes, he'll be watching you … slightly askew.
Is he mimicking Lady Godiva? Is side-saddle the new black? Is he permanently poised to cut and run?
We asked one of his many flacks, were met with laughter and haven't heard back. So we're forced to speculate - which is just how we like it.

We're looking forward to the suggestions.

YehMa doesn't stand face on to the camera because he wants to show a smaller body target for mud to stick too.

Either that or, as a pollie he couldn't even lay straight in bed < g >.
