If we Were to Turn off the Cameras would Jack Layton Still Exist?

This is without a doubt the most pathetic attempt to politically profit off of percieved outrage in Canadian political history:

"People believe they heard him say certain things and he should be a big enough man to stand up and say, 'Irrespective of what I think I might have said, obviously some people heard me say something that was deeply insulting, and I apologize,"' Layton said.

So... Jack just said that Peter Mackay should apologise for things that others think they heard, even though he belives he didn't say them? Look, I'm the first to believe that Peter MacKay should be apologising, prostrating himself before the Canadian people, David Orchard, and Belinda Stronach for past slights, but if he believes that he didn't say what he's accused of saying, then he has a responsibility to not apologise, to proclaim his innocence. Jack, you have just pissed away whatever remaining credibility you have with the 'average canadian' and YOU should resign your position as leader of the New Democratic Party.
