Not to worry, a little cannabis, crack cocaine, and plenty of alcohol should fix that! ;-)

Rob Ford has little to be proud of in his personal life conduct. That said the Toronto city council has little to be proud of either.
I have never seen such vindictiveness in politics. Toronto city council is just as much to blame for the gong show as Rob Ford. CNN was giving the story world wide coverage yesterday (today the completely ignored the gong show), and the Toronto council made Canada look like a banana republic. The confrontation on the floor between Mr Ford and a fellow councilor was blown out of proportions, then when the angry lady councilor insisted on an apology for the confrontation and Mr Ford refused to apologize… he went to say ‘I’m sorry, but I refuse to apologize’… but the speaker cut off Robs mike after I’m sorry, then they all laughed and thanked him for his apology, which was apparent to everyone it wasn’t an apology. CNN anchor just said well that’s politics in Canada and we are now going to move on… total banana republic type antics… note to Toronoto city council they are not laughing with you, but rather at you.
So ya Rob Ford has said some dumb things, and did some dumb things, but the city council there shows itself to be vindictive and operating like a banana republic. I think they need to remember that the people of Toronto voted in Rob Ford because he was the lesser of two evils in that the citizens of that great city were sick of the elite type antics that treat politics as an entitlement for the in club. Rob Ford got elected because of his straight talk calling them out, and the Toronto City council gong show is a great example of why guys like Rob Ford get elected in the first place.
Maybe both sides need a time out before they completely destroy the image of democracy in Canada’s largest city. I predict that a lot of political careers have been destroyed through this story, and not just the mayor of Toronto.
