The embattled mayor also gave an interview to CNN over the weekend, saying that he would have admitted to smoking crack cocaine earlier had he been asked the right question.

Yeah, see, this is why we need a standardized interview form for politicians. Because they'll honestly try to pass I HAVE USED LARGE AMOUNTS OF DRUGS RECREATIONALLY as something the public is not really interested in.

EDIT:

Also, an excellent Rick Mercer rant as another cautionary tale:

“This, folks, reminds me of when ... Saddam (Hussein) attacked Kuwait. And President (George) Bush said, 'I warn you, I warn you, I warn you do not attack.' Well, folks. If you think American-style politics is nasty, you guys have just attacked Kuwait,” Ford said in a bizarre, extended diatribe that came at the end of a frenetic day at Toronto City Hall.

Lord, what a drama llama.

Yeah, like I will be legit afraid of this man winning reelection unless a) he dies (including the non-zero possibility of him spontaneously combusting), b) he is actually arrested, or c) the election finally gets here and he loses.

There will be a large number of candidates this election and we're not implementing ranked voting (where you vote for a first second third choice and the numbers are re-run until somone gets 50% + 1) until the 2018 city elections. With the liklihood of dozens of candidates, a 20-30% voting bloc is a scary and massive advantage (true numbers of diehard supporters are unknown due to wild and inconsistent polling, but they're definitely out there and you meet them everywhere). The one blessing will be that Ford's campaign staff will be non-existant or a total disaster and his get-out-the-vote machine will basically be non-existant. Ford Nation are by definfition people you wouldn't call the volunteering type. 

B is still possible, apparently. A little birdie told me that the police are still holding about as much material as they've released and that the investigation is still ongoing.

While I'm sure I could find a few Ford supporters among the Toronto Police Service, Ford's continuinal refusal to speak with the cops under any circumstances and his newfound enemity with the chief can't be winning him any friends with them either.

Oh fuck.

If he's Bush Senior, I don't even want to know how big a fuckup his son is.

Are Ford's people your guys' equivalent of the "no government is better than any government" people we have here?  If so I can see them thinking a totally crippled bottleneck of a mayor is the perfect candidate.

Pretty much, yeah. Like the Rick Mercer rant goes, these are the people who would vote for a gerbil so long as they thought they were a dollar on the transaction.

LOL, SUN TV just announced they're cancelling his show after only one episode, on account of it being "Too expensive and too difficult to produce".

Well, the top video on YouTube right now is the guy bowling over an old woman, so... I have no idea so what.

By the way, the latest news is that the personal trainer Ford hired to help him "get in shape" is a convicted steroid trafficker and athlete doper. Don't know how Ford could have made that mistake, given that he appears to be a reputable and classy guy who will be sure to keep the mayor out of trouble.

So Doug Ford was out this afternoon straight-up giving people $20 bills.

Like, I am not making that up or exaggerating. He pulled out a wad of bills and was peeling of twenties to just give to anyone going by.

"Didn't have time to buy gift cards". Nice.

I can't believe how well Tommy Boy aligns with this shit. Right down to tackling a woman, walking face first into a camera, the way he falls over backwards, etc. Just... wow. It's goddamn supernatural.
