I haven't a lot of sympathy for him at the moment. He has to have known that at some point, his stupidity would catch up to him and become known. Yet he still carried on, same as ever. Is there a witch hunt? Eh, perhaps there is. Regardless, he's brought every ounce of this, media attention included, upon himself through his actions over the years. One doesn't bathe oneself in honey, and dance naked under a full moon within a circle of hungry bears and then expect the bears not to try for a bite. He has brought all this upon himself. No one else needs answer for it, but him.

Doug Ford is a better politician than Rob Ford, but both are buffoons. I actually don't see why so many conservatives support them. Besides being hateful towards the left, he lacks the sensible conservative traits of hard work, discipline and self-reliance. He grew up with a silver spoon and still behaves like a spoiled teenager. His rants and whining when he doesn't get his own way in council are that of a spoiled 13 year old.
I realize a lot of people out west aren't familiar with Rob Ford and the Ford family (which has alleged links to organized crime going back generations). Most of the time if there is a rumour that a mayor is doing drugs or hanging out with drug dealer, it would be ridiculous, but with Rob Ford, it's not actually as much of stretch as it would be it most cities.
