Edit: Mayor Rob Ford admits to smoking crack

It's proof that deep down no one actually believes that politicians do any work that is meaningful. If a high school janitor acted in this manner, he would have been shit-canned after the first incident and the public would have been appalled and in an uproar. Yet the guy who is in charge of Toronto is a lock to get re-elected.

Politicians have done with “lack of productivity” what Snoop Dogg has done with weed. Eventually, if you present yourself in a certain manner long enough, everyone just associates that standard.

well ... he isn't a lock to get re-elected ... it's a combination of factors ...

it's a municipal election where 50% of the people don't bother to vote ... then there are always like 5 or 6 candidates ... ya - his base is strong ... but if we did any kind of proportional representation voting system - he would come in last because everyone outside his base would put him last ...

That Jimmy Kimmel interview was funny.

"why are you dressed like a magician?" Jimmy Kimmel to Rob Ford.

Here hoping for re-election ... at least with him as mayor, it's kind of therapeutic humor for the rest of us in this cess pool known as Ontario. ) )

I had said I would hope he doesn't get re-elected ... I think now it would be great if he was re-elected

PJ_Soul

I read that Ford is kind of pissed about the interview.

lukin2006

He did the interview. I wonder what he expected? Has he ever watched Kimmel.

lukin2006

Look how he dressed for the interview. I guess he dressed that way because he thought black was slimming.
