Jack the Stripper is Taliban Jack LaytoNDP.
Who’s Connor?
…-
“Connor: Strip PM of power to prorogue parliament: Layton”
(MSM)
That man just oozes class. Just had to put his stink on a Canadian moment in the making.
Jack! will just blame this incident on the invisible hand.
“…he is the leader of the country that is hosting the Games,of course he will be seen…”
Not only that, he even bought his own damn ticket…
Ease up on Jack Layton Folks. All he was trying to do was get on the camera to tell Canadians he would much rather be in Parliament doing question period instead of being at the Olympics.
“Jack Be NIMBY
Ezra Levant posts the video someone shot of NDP leader Jack Layton at a Toronto pub celebrating Canada’s winning goal in the Olympics hockey game yesterday.
Anyone else spot the huge irony here? Back when Jack was a Toronto city councillor, he was instrumental in scotching Toronto’s Olympics bid. Had Toronto gotten the games that ended up going to Beijing, there would never have been a Vancouver, 2010.
Guess Jack’s all for a Canadian Olympics, as long as it’s not in his own backyard.”

just a new socialist mantra
A Hand Up , an Arm Down.
We shouldn’t be piling on Jack Layton. After all, he was merely reinforcing the fact that he is nothing more than a pitiful twerp. He may as well have worn a sign with the caption “Look at me. I’m a pathetic little turd.”
The media should be handing him a 5 minute major and a game misconduct for his obnoxious behaviour. However, as we all know, he won’t even get a 2 minute minor.
Here we see the new urbane nationalism playing out – getting shitfaced and stupid in front of the TV as a sign of national pride.
Molson’s owns the culture.
bwahahaha
What a camera whore.
That move by Taliban jack layton was rude rude rude. To have the presence of mind, cold and calculating, to make sure he was seen on camera makes him what the younger generation call a poser.
“Jack! will just blame this incident on the invisible hand.”
That’s funny.
A poser , more like a tosser.
Everyone is missing the real question. Who did Jacko get to by him the beer? No good socialist ever pays his own way especially in the pub!
It’s a good thing this video made the blogs because when it was first shown on CTV,I completely missed Jack Layton!
I feel SO ashamed.
Jack, Jack, Jack didn’t your poly sci degree teach you if you are short you take a stump to stand on? Lizzy would have stood on a chair or three or four bodies if she had been in such a den of CO2 but then she is a lawyer.
Some questions, seeing how the nice young lady assaulted by Jacko was a “woman of color”
Would Jacko would have done that to a white girl?
When will all the usual crew of Toronto Star & federally funded NGO race baiters demand an Inquiry and compensation from the NDP?
Which serial complainer will file a OHRC complaint against Jacko?
What a jerk, how can any sane human being support this weasel of a man?
What a beautiful opportunity that would have been to accidentally elbow him in the face, in true Canadian hockey spirit!
Canada takes the Gold, Layton show himself as a pathetic loser.
Win/win
Jack wins the gold medal in selfishness!!!
Oh how I wish that girl would have fought back just a bit! That would have been priceless…
Jack appears to be the only silver-top in the crowd, he seems to really fit in.
The Conservatives don’t run against the Dippers, but this video is gold. I wonder/hope the Liberals run with it.
batb 2nd para: My thoughts exactly, and they say wise women think alike.
The worst part about it was that he was singing the anthem in French (entirely) when we won. This is an english Canadian at a bar in Toronto. Makes me sick
Check Layton’s travel expense claims. He may have ‘traveled’ out of his riding to abuse a citizen and mug for the camera.
What a true view of the ego that is Taliban Jack.
Wretch!!!
Dang, congratulations guys, I had a little beat long heart attack when that Crosby goal went in. But I have never seen a hockey game played at that level of skill before. Wow. Were were the guys whacking at the puck, grabbing jerseys, face washes, and tripping?
It didn’t even look like an NHL game. Well it really is your game, I felt great at the late goal, and then realized it was going into 4 on 4 with all that open ice and the Canadian talent level, and in the unlikely event that we survived that, it was a shootout, which the way Luongo was playing, might have been our best shot, actually…
Bob, your comment is an insult to the nobel weasel and all other weasel-like rodents. The man is a media-whoring turd and belongs exactly where he is, pushing the common man (ok, in this case, woman) out of the way so we can see just what kind of a rude, obnoxious, annoying communist tosser he really is.
Tim: The US has much to be proud of. A slight mistake and the medals may have been reversed. This is par for sport. I’m glad the US got the silver instead of, say, the Ruskies.
When the national anthem was being sung I noticed Jack wasn’t in sync,then I realized it was because he was singing it in french.I guess you’re not a true Canadian if you can’t sing the anthem in french.
” The US has much to be proud of.”
e.g. http://www.canada.com/sports/Americans+junior+hockey+gold/2409282/story.html
Sorry, but what really cheeses me off is the fact that even my wife was humming “Oh Canada” after the game was over.
Jack looks like that creepy Burger King character from the TV ads.
There is an irony to the whole sporting exercise in the Olympics (and indeed any match where is a “winner”). In this game and in the Women’s curling final, everything you’ve done for years before, can come down to the very last effort you mske. In Cheryl Bernard’s case, a medal is lost not because her shot wasn’t good enough, but because it wasn’t quite hard enough. To have everything you’ve done before be distilled down to ONE infinitesimal difference between what you did and what you should have done, must be gut wrenching.
Same in the game -Sidney put one in the net, the Amricans didn’t – as tragically simple as that.
And Iggy puts an Olympic themed article in the Globe. So who has been taking political advantage of the Olympics?
Even the Chronicle Herald’s Ottawa reporter is tweeting on this.
Now to see if it gets reported……..

tim, I wear hearing aids that have a remote that can shut them OFF, every married man should have them :-))))
Jack Layton and Ruby Dhalia, or Jack Layton and a sow bear with cubs???
The quickest way to get a broken leg is to stand between Jack Layton and a camera.
It’s a fine line skip.
That’s why most sports have series type finishes. This is also why there is a difference between a team being built to win, and team built to win championships. Teams that play low risk physical ball and take high percentage shots typically will win a long series, and “high-flying” style teams often put up phenomenal regular season numbers and then get knocked-out in early play-off rounds. The single elimination format used in most Olympic events levels the playing field(similar to no limit Texas Hold’em poker) and allows fringe fans(or inexperienced poker players) to enjoy the most exciting aspects of sports.
As idiotic as he is, he wasn’t singing in French I don’t think, he just was out of lip-synch because of the seven second live broadcast delay.
Isn’t he supposed to be fighting cancer right now? Does he lose some of the calculated sympathy vote when he shows up in a bar on TV?
I’m glad Jack loves hockey.
The leaden attempt at popularity via the arm grab to make a ‘cameo appearance’ did not detract from an otherwise golden moment.
Thanks for the laughs at the brazenly obvious…
More thanks however go out to Sidney Crosby and all of the individual members and staff who made “Team Canada” possible.
I wonder what kind of beer PM Stephen Harper will get from President Obama?
Will President Obama buy it from Gretzky’s pub? Will it be Molson Canadian or Zhigulevskoye (Russian- Жигулёвское) or Zhiguli is a notable brand of Soviet (Russian) beer?
These burning policy questions are likely to give Jack some ammuninition as we wait to see Jack cheering from Sochi, Russia in 2014.
On that note…a big CHEERS
Hans-Christian Georg Rupprecht, Commander in Chief
1st Saint Nicolaas Army
Army Group “True North”
Where’s Waldo?
A white male pushing a black woman out of the way?
Move along…nothing to see…
I told him. You’re supposed to pull your own arm down.
Everyone else in that bar is cheering wildly in almost out-of-the-body joy from watching the Canadian team win. And Jack’s only thoughts are “If they win, I can get my face on camera cheering just like these beer-swilling slobs around me. I’ll have to time it just perfectly, and sing the anthem – the Canadian anthem – just like I’ve rehearsed, in both English and French. Wait for the cue to appear spontaneous . . . okay, they’ve won – watch for the red light on the camera . . . NOW!”
Cheer
Cheer
Cheer
Cheer
I wonder how long he practiced his fake exuberant smile in the mirror before heading over to the pub….
Are you supposed to drink alcohol on chemotherapy?
Jack Layton Picture hog. In his case being a politician it becomes a reflex.
A good buddy had his wedding Pictures done. Not one of his wedding pic’s didn’t have his brothers mug in them smiling at the camera like a lover. We laughed about it latter but….
It takes dedication & hard work to be in every media shot, as Layton proves.
JMO
Jack had an aide explain that he was just trying to see the screen.
http://torontoist.com/2010/03/duly_quoted_karl_belanger.php
Of course what was on the screen at the time was the shot from Gretzky’s pub, hence the crowd reaction.
What a whore.
Syncro
Partying it up pretty good with the booze for a guy who came on to anounce he had cancer.
