New Poll Says: Layton's Moustache "Kinda Gay"

A recent poll by Ipos-Factos reveals that many Canadians, while liking NDP leader Jack Layton, find his moustache "kinda gay".
"He seems like a good guy. And he certainly came out of the confidence vote thing smelling like roses," said construction worker Gino Vallenti. "But seriously, that moustache makes him look kinda gay."
"I've been teasing him about it for years, " said wife and fellow NDP MP Olivia Chow. "When I first brought him home to Dad, he said, in Chinese "Who's the fruitcake?" And while I don't approve of my fathers stereotyping or incorrect language, I did stifle a giggle."
The survey, conducted just after the budget vote that included $6 billion in new spending - new spending added at the NDP's behest in return for their support of the Liberal government - found that while many Canadians found Layton the most likeable of the federal party leaders, many couldn't get over his moustache.
"The moustache thing wasn't even in the question we asked. People just kept adding it," said Ipsos-Factos president Merle Oberon.
Mr. Oberon said many people named Layton as the most likeable politician then quickly added a comment about his moustache.
"Most comments were in the negative," said Mr. Oberon.
"Could you imagine sending this guy to some international conference with that gay catterpillar underneath his nose?" Valenti said. " Unless it was a international Gay conference. Then I guess it would be alright. "
One annonymous NDP source said plans have been made to deal with the moustache issue. The source would not give any specifics but said the plans involve chloroform and a razor.
