For defaming his reputation?
I think it’s a matter of the city still running relatively smoothly. I mean, the mayor is an alcoholic druggie, but the city hasn’t descended into a wretched hive of scum and villainy. We have the luxury of laughing at his stupid personal choices.
We can’t all have Nenshi’s, can we? 
As others have pointed out, the mayor of Toronto isn’t a particularly powerful job; he can’t override council votes and very little executive power is vested in the office. It’s a job that basically gives you political capital though the ability to appoint people to committees, as well as the weight of the office. If you piss away your political capital, then you become a lame duck mayor. In a situation like this, the city simply continues running in almost precisely the manner it would have anyway.
And what are the rest of us going to do about him? All we can do is point and laugh at this point.
This is from TalkingPointsMemo under the title “Eating Habits”:
Ford is the gift that keeps on giving, isn’t he?
Oshawa is starting to look good.
I lived in Toronto for 10 years. For sheer publicity value, this fat buffoon is the greatest thing to happen to Toronto (“the Good”) in years. Once this train wreck is removed from office, Toronto will sink back into dull obscurity.
Not true! Toronto will always be loved for being the faithful companion of the Lone Ranger.
I had no idea he had a wife and children until just now. :eek: Those poor kids.
The comments are, ahem, interesting.
According to him, he eats more than enough of his wife’s pussy at home. http://youtu.be/JWj0en_dQKI
Yup.
Pussy is not fattening.
Rob Ford is a gift that keeps on giving.
His “I get enough pussy to eat at home” comment is the best so far. The rest of it just kind of disgusted me, especially when I heard his “apology” on the radio, I kept thinking, “wow what a self-centered asshole,” but now I’m picking up on the humor of it all.
He and his city councillor brother’s radio show was canned earlier on in this matter, but has now been picked up by a radio station that has been described as Fox North, so the entertainment will continue.
Sun News Network, actually.* Sun News: betraying conservatives for cheap tabloid lolz since ???*
How much money would people pay to watch Artie Lange interview this guy?
It is if you slather it with mayonnaise.
Is that what poutine is?
No, that’s what ‘putain’ means. And kinky stuff like mayo will cost you extra.
