Bob Ford's crack attack

I LIKE the Mayor of Toronto, as do 44% of Torontonians; in fact, his approval rating is up five points since he was exposed as a crackhead. Bob Ford's got spunk. I know that the old-line, traditional Toronto Blue Bloods find his conduct sho...cking - after all, this is a city where one has to buy beer at the provincial government outlet, or at least that was the case last time I visited. Anyway, the (WASP) Toronto country-club elite's not used to (American) politicians a la Marion Berry. OK, OK, I know Mayor Ford is a herculean hypocrite. And a criminal, technically speaking. But he's an elected official, so what else is new? I guess Toronto folk better get accustomed to all things American - they're "too far from God and too close to the United States" to emerge from the 21st Century unscathed. I admire his drunken stupors, too. Things will return to ostensible Dullsville when he's forced to resign. It's just a matter of time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsjlNNsChZ4
