Big Oil and Big Ass

OTTAWA — NDP leader Jack Layton tried to take the Tories to task in the House of Commons, but instead his question became the “butt” of a joke.
Mr. Layton rose in the Commons on Monday to attack the government over subsidies to big oil companies.
But he tripped over his tongue and instead asked Prime Minister Stephen Harper if he would finally cancel subsidies to “big oil and big ass.” Mr. Layton meant to say “big gas.”
Mr. Harper jokingly answered that he would “get to the bottom of it.”
He went on to joke that he wasn't sure if he should take Mr. Layton's miscue personally.

We all know Jack was thinking of this.
