The Rob Ford Highlight Reel

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is an alcoholic and a crack user.  It seems some days like Chris Farley faked his own death, moved to Canada and became mayor of Toronto.

Despite Ford's epic meltdowns, drunken behavior and his admission of smoking crack, his popularity in the polls has gone UP.

Here's a highlight reel.

It's difficult acting as mayor when you live in a van down by the river.

Farley and Andy Kauffman both faked their death. Kauffman is now doing his black US president bit.

Now come on. It's not fair to identify the man as "an alcoholic and a crack user" unless we are all willing to accept being referred to as masturbators and bed wetters.

If it's gravitas you're looking for in a politician there's always Barack Obama.

I never thought of Toronto as a comedy city. But there is something to having your mayor act the role of court jester.

I've of two minds of this.

On one side, he should probably quit and get his s-h-i-z-z together.

On the other, he's been remarkably candid about the entire thing and 'wants everyone to see the tape.' It's actually refreshing.

Toronto is where Second City TV started. Candy, Levy, etc.

ndspinelli: Yeah, but then they all moved to Chicago.

Kind of their own bumbling bear.

Evi, There was[is?[ a Second City in Toronto. SCTV was formed by that troupe and they weren't part of the Chicago Second City. Both troupes produced a lotta talent!

I assumed Ford was some kind of skinny Anthony Wiener weirdo. Instead, he's basically a standard fat, drunken pol whose "smoked crack in a drunken stupor".

His dislike of the press is endearing though.
