Liberal Executive quits over blog comments.
Mike Klander, who is the executive vice-president of the Liberal Party's Ontario wing, quit over comments he made on his blog about Jack Layton, and Layton's wife, Olivia Chow.
His comments on Jack Layton:
Quote from the blog. (Now Taken Offline)
"I'm going away for a couple of days, so I thought I would find something smart and witty to put up on my blog before I left. Unfortunately, I couldn't think of anything, so I just want to say that I think Jack Layton is an a**hole ... for no reason other than it makes me feel good to say it ... and because he is."
He also posted a picture of Olivia Chow and a chow chow dog with the caption:
"Separated at birth."
Pretty uncalled for IMO. It was a personal blog, and not a party blog, but still....a bit of a black eye for the party all the same. Not the type of comment you would expect someone in an executive position to say in a public.
