Mike Klander resigns

Mike Klander, a liberal consultant who was the VP of the Ontario wing of the Liberals was forced to resign after comparing an NDP candidate (Jack Layton's wife, Olivia Chow) to a dog (her last name is Chow, and he had up a picture of a chow chow dog...get it?) and calling Jack Layton an "asshole" on his blog.
This is so idiotic that it's not even funny.
Number 1 Partisan politicians need to realize that all parties are trying to do what is best for Canada, they just happen to have much different views on the best way to do this. Pandying to the lowest common denominator is useless and divisive, somehting that I'd more expect from the Conservatives (yum...delicious irony)
Number 2 As if anyone could think that they could get away with this, even at the slowest of times party workers are scouring the country for ammunition against the ohter parties, much less during one of the tightest election campaigns in years.
Number 3, At least make a good joke, if you're going to get fired (let's be honest, Klander had no choice in his resignation) over a joke, it had better be good, damn good, Chris Rock good.
Number 4 Petty name calling? The Liberals have money coming out of the yin-yang, the least they could have done was use Layton's resemblance to a weasel, and maybe alter a picture of one to look like Layton. That would have been gold, and then maybe the loss of his job could be tempered by at least knowing he went out in a blaze of hilarity.
