I fail to see how having a guy convicted of fie counts of fraud working for you directly (and lobbying, which is a whole other concern) isn't horrible judgment. The Layton case was literally open and closed 15 years ago.
Just for a split second take you partisan blinders off and tell me that the guy who was never charged and never convicted is somehow relevant as compared to the guy who was charged 5 times and lobbied as a close advisor to the PMO?

Unless I'm mistaken, the PM fired Carson and called the cops to investigate him. Was it poor screening on the PMO to hire him - yes. Should the PM be held responsible for the screening practices of those in his office? Maybe. Did he react exactly correctly once he was aware of the background? It would appear so.
On the other hand, you have a politician (not one of his workers or advisors - but him directly) going to a rub-n-tug joint after 9:00pm at night. He was found naked. How many massages have you had that required you to be completely naked? The cops have said that it is common for those that own these places to video those in the rooms for use later. Can you confirm that this hasn't happened with Layton? Can you guarantee that a man that wants to be PM doesn't have a video somewhere of him in a comprimising position? Further, what does it say about his judgement - not his advisors judgement or someone in his office's judgement but his direct judgement - that he would be going to a rub-n-tug when he is supposedly the champion of women's issues? Does he seriously not have the ability to know the difference between a licenced theraputic massage place and a rub-n-tug? Does he not have the judgement to understand that being completely naked during a massage is probably not how things are generally done? Lastly, what are the odds that the police busted this place the only time Jackoff was there? Slim to none I'd say....
