Apparently in addition to the talk show the Fords have been given on Sun "News" Network, he's going to be on Anderson Cooper tomorrow.

It looks like he's going to start a new career, where the phrase "all publicity is good publicity" is his mantra. I'll be glad to see him gone as mayor but something tells me he won't be gone from our lives.

He'll be the Sarah Palin of Canada. Or herpes. Same difference, really.

Yeah, they should have taken the "all I can eat at home" statement to ridiculous extremes.

That's the tough part though. Ford has been so off the handle that it's hard to exaggerate him at all. The reason guys like Colbert and Stewart can make it funny is because they basically just need to react to him. SNL has to parody him, and it's hard to parody a parody.

That said, they could've/should've done better.

Should be watching the circus that is the T.O city council meeting on CTV newsnet. The Ford Brothers are suffice to say....amusing.

Apparently, while Doug was speaking, members of the public were heckling him. In response to the heckling:

CBC Tweet:
Mayor Ford chants NDP NDP NDP then get out of his chair and raises his hand and says "socialism is great".

I honestly think at this point the Fords are just trolling and will keep trolling until people lose interest. They both have serious mental issues.

They don't have any mental issues, they're just entitled bullies that think they're gods gift to politics.

(What appears to be) accidentally knocking over another Councillor isn't really worrisome to me, as opposed to all the other stuff.
