Crooked in Canada

So I hear today (Saturday here, Friday there) that that retard (quick somebody call the PC police–I used the R-word) leading the NDP, Jack Layton, is going to make a public announcement about his leadership, that he might be stepping down.

It’s only a rumor of course, but suppose it isn’t, wouldn’t that be good news for a few members of his party, especially given the fact that since Jihad Jack climbed atop that shit pile, nothing much has changed for the NDP. Once a laughing stock, always a laughing stock I guess.

I know that there isn’t going to be too many NDP supporters who will openly admit that they agree with Crooked in Canada on this one, but they know I’m right about that how ineffective and useless Jack has been since he was given the keys to the office.

Yep, for a guy who was supposed to change the party’s political fortunes, he hasn’t done badly, but he hasn’t done f*** all for Canada. The party first, Canadians second, that’s how he ranks his and his party’s priorities.

The guy has definitely gained a few seats for his party since becoming leader.

What has it been, three elections now since he took over the party leadership. The NDP had 12 seats in the 37th Parliament when he climbed to the top of the shit pile. He gained seven more seats in the 38th Parliament, and than gained 10 more in the 39th Parliament.

And when the ballots were all counted in 2008, the party had 37 overpaid asses sitting in seats on Parliament Hill.

Not bad, but those seats have managed to do f*** all for Canadians and Canada really, not that anybody would expect that a bunch of whining sniveling NDP MPs could do much.

There is a lot more to being effective on “The Hill” then just filling the seats in the House of Commons with overpaid asses and bitching and complaining about this, that and the other thing. And rising to the defence of the dregs of society (and I’m certain the New Democrats did that a few times during Question Period)–like f*** off and let the bad guys fend for themselves Jack.

I will give Jack credit where credit is due though, and I will pat him on the back for accomplishing one thing since he became leader in 2003–that being; managing to use the 2005 budget as leverage to secure investments in affordable housing, training, public transit, energy efficiency, development assistance and wage protection.

That was like 5 years ago though, and I’m guessing that that $4.6 billion that was supposed to be spent in corporate tax giveaways, but instead was put into Jack’s plan, hasn’t come even close to doing what it was supposed to do.

Jack’s other claim to fame is barely worth mentioning given how unrealistic a goal it is, but he was the driving force behind the Climate Change Accountability Act and over PM Stephen Harper’s objections, he did manage to get the act passed.

Cutting climate-changing emissions by eighty per cent before 2050 though, Jack.

LIKE GET F***ING REAL BUDDY. THAT AIN’T GOING TO HAPPEN, AND HOW MUCH IS THAT GOING TO COST EVERYBODY AGAIN?

To all you NDPers in Canada, if Jack announces that he is stepping down as leader today, be sure to throw him a champagne party on a beer bottle budget, huh.

This just in–Jack has just informed the nation that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and he will be staying on as leader.

F*** man, not even cancer can get this guy to see the light when it comes to his uselessness and detriment to the party whose political fortunes he was supposed to boost.

While the prostate cancer thing is terrible news for Jack and his family, Crooked in Canada is kind of wondering, “Will he be seeking treatment in the U.S., or is he going to keep it all Canadian?”

This is one of those times where Jack is actually going to have to put up a better fight than the ones he is known for in the political arena.

Yeah, yeah, I hit Jack while he was down, but hey, he would do the same to me if I were his political adversary.

But if it makes those who think I’m an asshole for picking on Jack now feel any better, “Sorry about your luck Jack. Hoping you can win this battle.”
