    JOHN NAPIER ROCKS!!

    John Turner was also part of a big scandal while in the UK in the late 1950s. He danced numerous times with Princess Margaret and they were said to be good friends in real life. HUGE press coverage ensued and many pearls were clutched because John is Catholic (and the princess would have had to renounce her claim to the throne if they'd married).

    Princess Margaret? Say No More!

    Turner was unfortunately very un-telegenic. He licked his lips and cleared his throat very often while speaking - it was like an annoying tic.

    He is also perhaps the best-known butt groper in recent Canadian political history. I remember that 1984 campaign for repeated derriere taps that were caught on camera, most notably one on Liberal Party President Iona Campagnolo and the French Vice President... prompting feminists of the time to market "Turner guards" to wear across the back.
