So apparently Rob Ford is the biggest Canadian news export of this century. The breadth of coverage this guy gets is apparently more than any other piece of news.

But I'm not surprised - the American media loves a good story about an overweight conservative, crack-smoking politician with gang ties who steals a musician's seat at an NFL game. Every media outlet from the highly respectable to the bottom-feeding scuzz has loved a good Rob Ford story.

This world has its priorities mixed up. But I guess this makes money for them.
