Updated with video. 787 Dundas St. W, today (red sign). Sun News: Suspected bawdy house raided in Project Cobra
“Jack” is short for “john”, isn’t it?
’96 police report, breaking now on SunTV. Short form: Jack Layton was found naked in the company of a woman, getting a “shiatsu massage” during a police raid. No charges laid. Getting further analysis now from Sun’s expert adulterer.
Update – print story up now.
Apparently, the campaign decided the first response was best delivered by Olivia Chow. Now, that’s Prime Ministerial.
Uh oh. Urban Dictionary Update.
Huh?!
You’re fast, Kate. I literally just emailed this to you a minute ago as soon as I heard it on Sun TV News too. (Thank heavens the Jays just had their third out so I clicked back to Adler’s show.)
BTW, was Al Gore in town at the time?
Maybe this election will have a happy ending after all?
Jack! off to the races?
Guess we don’t know Jack!?
Jack! the Dripper?
Johnny come lately?
i’m too gobsmacked to go on…
Suddenly while the host and the Toronto sun reporter were talking about Jack’s escapade the Sun News channel went blank.
Unreal – We were watching this on Sun TV, about 5 minutes in, and the station disappeared!!!
I’m calling Shaw (we’re in Ottawa) now, but my friend who gets Sun TV free from HDTV antenna says it’s still on the air…
I’m capping it right now.
This sort of thing rubs me the wrong way.
I see now I’m not the only one with a blank screen.
hmm, just came back onair as I hit post.
Yikes. I need to mark this date. This might be the only time in history that Jack doesn’t want to have his mug displayed on the TV screens.
Nice timing. Rub and tug for Jack. How old was the girl?
Shaw back on air!
Beauty.
so why does Warren look so sad?
Still showing here in Halifax.
Sun News I mean, not Jack.
It is back on now and Warren Kinsella is being asked about it.
Wouldn’t it be something if Jackoff had his big moment jerked out from under him???
It’s back, all of a sudden, no explanation tho…
Guess we know why the song “Happy Jack” was so apropos!
OK…I get the jist of it…but details please.
And it was a private, for profit rub and tug!
At least he didn’t go to the US for it.
Still nothing on Global, what about the other channels? Of course one doesn’t want to seem to revel in another man’s shame.
Iggy for one welcomes our Shiatsu overlords; Gesundheit.
back in ’96? How was it kept quiet for so long?
Apparently NDP stands for Not Done Partying.
That’s interesting – Sun TV on Rogers in T.O. is about 10 minutes behind. Combover boy just came on.
Was just saying that if they can have Kinsella in for an interview, they can hardly be blamed for being biased. Apparently, he writes for one of the Sun’s papers.
This is quite the Federal Erection issue!!!
but will it be an erection tissue, er, election issue…
Talk of NDP election win just another case of premature Jack Layton.
Oh I’m using that one, Kathy!
how will it affect his poling?
Won’t this firm up his support with swing voters?
Will support for Taliban Jack go soft?
Mpearl takes it!
During that same era I was walking back from a party and stopped on a street corner near Layton’s office to wait for the light to change. Jack was standing there with one of his aides. (Oh, and there was also three guys passing around a bottle of whiskey, but they don’t matter in this.)
It was pretty late so I figured jack must have been burning the proverbial midnight oil.
I suppose oil may have been involved.
That said, it took a long time for that story to blow!
Can we expect more such revelations this weekend?
What else might be in the bag of tricks?
Jack-off will be doing a quick re-examination of past ‘boners‘.
wow, there’s just too many puns to be made of this. This will be a very long comments thread.
Jack wasn’t nimble and Jack wasn’t quick Jack got caught with his hand on his stick As the mess was cleaned up by the Toronto police Jack yelled, it’s not me, but pass me a wipe!
after taking the orange pill, if your enthusiasm still remains firm after a full weekend, call your doctor…
Snagglepuss, he’s got political boners galore. I’m astonished that they have been so little publicized.
Come on now don’t be so hard on the guy. Taliban Jack felt stiff and sought relief in a massage. I’m sure this is common behavior among champagne socialists. His excuse will likely be that he was there undercover checking out the daycare facilities available for the women.
This is, I think the biggest scandal since the Francis Fox affair, when he was found forging his girlfriend’s husband’s name on a document for approval of an abortion, as it was in the old days when the father had a say on whether or not his child should die. To my mind, this was far,far worse. That said, most NDPers are moral castrates in these matters, and he is liable to pick up votes from idiots who think that he is being “judged” by others.
Come, come, folks. We’re bigger than going for these low-blow puns.
I didn’t see this, but people need to exercise caution here.
If this ends up being fake, he will benefit from this type of story.
Jack was doing real good with the women voters, no?
Jack’s always struck me as a little “off,” could never explain it. His relationship with Olivia also seems a little weird, and I’ve often wondered if it’s some kind of beard …
That Layton, as a Toronto councillor who was sticking up (pardon the pun) for the rights of women exploited by bawdy houses, apparently “didn’t know” that the place in which he was having a shiatsu massage was, in fact, a bawdy house is, of course, beyond credible.
So, Olivia is supporting Jack? I wonder what her possible connection with the “massage parlour” is? She has extensive connections with the Chinese community in Toronto and, sometimes, it might be worth asking, how extensive?
So how big was it?
Well knowing what a shiatsu massage really is makes me believe that the excuse given to the police by eJackoLayton is a load of shiatsu that spread properly on a quarter section of land would yield a bumper crop!
Oh this is the way you rub and tug, rub and tug, rub and tug. This is the way you rub and tug so early in the election.
Wack Layton
