(UPDATE: It’s a fake!) It’s been a pretty shitty week for Jack Layton. First, he faced an enormous backlash from supporters and opponents alike after he threatened to back out of the leaders debates if Elizabeth May was allowed to participate in them, and, yesterday afternoon, his Twitter got into the hands of someone who made three quick entries: “Olivia’s being a douche.”; “Alright, poop time.”; and “Okay, poop is coming out.” The entries remained on his Twitter for at least fourteen hours, more than enough time to make the whole thing totally embarrassing.
