Live Shot Layton

Saw the mug far to many times. What a way to spoil Great Canadian moments, endless shots of a guy who despises a merit based society.

It was a Cinderella story. Crosby in overtime!

The inflatable moose and beavers in the closing ceremony contain less hot air than Taliban Jack.

"politics is show business for ugly people"

May he finally sink into the abyss that he so richly deserves.

and the hat worn backwards. tres common man. What a douche!

Where is that outrage from Jack, Boob Rae and Iggy over the fact Stephen Harper perogued parliament because of the Olympics...crickets!
Its not to surprising that these political hacks are silent now that Canada has witnessed a level of patriotism not seen since the second world war.

I'm surprised he could tell the difference between the TV camera and the jukebox!

My 8 year old asked me what a douchebag is tonight. I realized that I shouldn't use adjectives about Jack Layton around him.

Clearly Layton didn't get the memo from Canadians...don't politcize the olympics.
I was livid to see his smug mug on the TV...what an asswipe

Smile'n Jack never saw a camera he didn't like

Layton wasn't there because he cared about the game. Layton wasn't there because he cared about Canada's athletes. Layton was there as part of a calculated political move to get his mug on television.

Pathetic really.

So I guess it's perfectly fine now to touch a strange woman, push her out of the way, to get what you want.

I wonder how many feminists/leftists would be up in arms if Harper manhandled a woman in public like that?

He is truly a Jack Ass for grabbing a woman like that.

He is truly a Jack Ass for grabbing a woman like that.

Captured for posterity, what a frickin a-hole. True to form Taliban Jack.

It'd be more funny still if the woman's boyfriend had been Gordie Howe and he'd stuck his elbow into Jack's eye for touching without authorization.
but I guess that's not in the current Olympic spirit, or maybe it is Olympian in the original spirit...
just sayin'.

Ah - I thought I recognized his dingbat wife during the live shots, though I always figured her and her imbecile husband for Bread not Circuses types.

Now just imagine if that had been a junior cabinet minister speaking rudely to someone at an airport,what outrage there would be.. I'm sure this will be covered endlessly by msm,oh wait,no one sent the anonymous e-mail about Layton to Wayne Easter yet.

Finally new a name truly fitting, Manhandler Jack!

I believe in the power of me and I

- Jack! Layton

In another shot at the bar during the game Jack Layton removed his hat so we could really really see that it was him. In that one he took off his hat and leaned around someone so his face was visible.
At least he is in character- everyone knows he has a huge ego and never met a mirror he did not fall i love with,

I seem to remember a certain Prime Minister from quebec laying hands on the common folk as well. I just can't seem to remember his name.

CTV pannned the camera, w/o Campbell present, only when it came time to pass the games over to Russia.

At least Layton got gold-medal-winning airtime, tawny obstructing arm notwithstanding. Whereas a guy named Stephen Harper, who apparently holds Canada's highest office (the 'Prime Mininstership' or something like that, although I haven't confirmed it yet) was in the actual hockey arena, sitting beside some guy named Wayne Gretzky (sp?), who is supposedly a fairly famous Canadian hockey player, and the cameras couldn't find either of them.

Maybe next time Gretzky and Harper should go to a bar thousands of miles away from the arena and stand behind Jack Layton.

I also thought he was supposed to be in Ottawa on a hunger strike or something until the prorogation was over?

What a H--o..... Hope you all spent some time watching this past two weeks, what an experience, really sad to see it finish.... I Am A Proud Canadian.

Remember wafer-gate? The completely fabricated non-event from last summer? The completely fabricated non-event that received 24/7 news coverage for several days?

Yes? Okay.

Now, think of that. Now, think of the exact opposite, and you've got the MSM coverage of this embarrassing episode in the next couple of days. That is, you won't see it.

I'm not saying this is a newsworthy event. Frankly, in and of itself, Layton's pathetic behavior isn't even worthy of a footnote buried in the back pages of a free local rag. It does have significance, however, in terms of the Canadian media, and their complete lack of integrity and inability to report political affairs from a non-partisan perspective.

Jack, you are officially pathetic.

How do you spell primping prima donna? J A C K L A Y T O N!

Isn't this one of those NDP 'HE MUST RESIGN!' moments?
What simple thoughts were coursing through his mind? Unbelievable- I guess you can understand why it happened, his ego simply over-powered his intellect (again).
Did he think he was posing for a still-shot photo, not realizing the camera was RECORDING him as he man-handled the woman's arm out of way?? His explanation will be hilarious..

I'm suprised the filthy commie POS wasn't cheering on the Russians,after all,he was on the side of the Soviet Union for YEARS during the Cold War.

The helping hand of socialism.

Can we prorogue a bit longer?

Back at the games, the Canada/US game was certainly the signature event.

Closing ceremonies.....have a mine goffing around with the reluctant pillar---extensive cord and all.....a touching momment when katrina Le-May Doane got to light it.....
Angel can fly because they take themselve lightly---making fun of the earlier malfunctioning prop was a definite sign of confidence and maturity.
All the Mounty crap and flying moose was almost embarrassing.......
But then I gather it was too make fun of the sterotypical images....I hope.....

Over on the nation's news service ,there are more than a few comments about PMSH using the Olympics as a photo op. PMSH DID NOT politicize these games at all, sure he was in a few TV shots,but hey,he is the leader of the country that is hosting the Games,of course he will be seen. If he came down on one of the working hydraulic lifts to light the flame,the criticism may have some merit,but he did nothing of the sort. PMSH,and his family,did us proud by staying out of the limelight,and allowing the athletes to do their thing,which was to win a basket full of medals. Jack, on the other hand,would prefer that everyone got a medal. He does not support athletes,he only smells like an athletic support.

He wishes we didn't have an army either.

Wow, CBC must have had this one all ready to go. Just hours after the Olympics closed, and they're back on their talking points.

Political games begin again on the Hill

Jack Layton - the loser politcian version of ferris bueller

I went over to the CBC link that Doug provided. My advice,DON'T. The comments are dominated by a group of bitter people who seem to believe that the Olympics were a staged event to benefit the Conservative party. There are winners and there are losers...

wallyj, one of the most productive things I ever did was write a script that excises the "social comments" section from all CBC/CTV articles.

And here I thought Gretzky ran a decent establishment. I would have loved to see a bouncer haul Layton's sorry ass out of there.
i must give credit to CTV though, all the time I watched the second, third and OT, I didn't hear them once refer to Layton by name. I wonder if count Iffy was in that crowd too?

Had to spoil our Olympic moment.

what a shallow, transparent jack-in-a-bar; hey olivia! friends don't let friends drink and diva

I wonder who will get stuck for his bar tab?
It would be interesting to see if he files an expense report claiming that his time spent at Gretzky's was a business lunch.

Echo Soccermom at 12:36 AM. Can't top that.

Now, can we trade Jack for a bag of pucks? Heck, we'll throw in Olivia for a water bottle too.

I don't know what all the fuss is about. Isn't Jack acting true to form? Do not the states which Western socialists support use their arms against their weaker opponents' arms to force them to their will? Jack is Russia and the unnamed woman is Georgia. Both were in the news: one last night and one last summer. Arms against arms.

sasquatch: "All the Mounty crap and flying moose was almost embarrassing..."

I thought the same, way over the top, goofy, outrageous, hilarious if you like this kind of thing. I turned to my husband and said, "'Must be a gay guy who put this together." It's got all the hallmarks.

As for Layton having to explain himself, he'll be let off the hook by the Lame Stream Media. They only want to get Prime Minister Stephen Harper whose behaviour has been exemplary. But, when has that ever stopped the media hacks from making up crass motives for him?

I'm hoping, however, that the Olympic Games, being the monumental success they've been, will overshadow any nefarious shenanigans the lib-left media shills have in mind.

Canadians are pumped! Bloor Street last night looked and sounded like it did when the Portuguese and Italians were playing in the World Cup!!!

"one last night and one last summer"

Oops. That would be summer, 2008.

Good little socialist . . must be one of the "more equal" ones
