Stephen Harper narrowly avoids G8 photo faux-pas

[Spazito]

It appears Canada's prime minister doesn't like having his photo taken.

In L'Aquila, Italy on Thursday, Prime Minister Stephen Harper was late to arrive at a G8 summit photo shoot, leaving his world leader colleagues standing around while they waited for him to show up.

Other dignitaries started calling out the prime minister's name, when it was apparent that Harper was not at the Thursday shoot.

Harper was then seen rushing to the shoot with his entourage, arriving about two minutes after U.S. President Barack Obama had jogged in late to the same shoot.

2. Joe Clark was mercilessly caricatured for this sort of thing

But Harper gets a pass, for the most part. As far as the MSM goes, he just walks between the raindrops.
