Ah, Mayor Rob Ford. I have to sit back and question if all of this insanity is just his way of expanding his public service to include writers and journalists. Not only has Toronto’s disgraced mayor been gift wrapping continual fodder and leaving it at the front door of this writer, Mayor Rob Ford has been making news worldwide. Understandably – who needs reality TV when we have Rob Ford?
If the mayor went to the media today and said that his role of ringmaster in the Toronto City Hall circus was his way of expanding his public service supporting writers and journalists, I may actually believe him. Clearly that is not the case but as a writer I won’t look a gift horse in the mouth and it would make much more sense to me than anything else that’s transpired these last few weeks.
Lord knows that when it comes to political controversy, Rob Ford has given us more than enough to talk about. It’s pretty big news when the mayor of Canada’s largest city admits to smoking crack cocaine (while in office nonetheless), but there is one more chapter in the Ford fiasco that shares the crack confession's spotlight for its ability to make the entire world ask, “WTF”?
The Day The World Said "WTF?"
Since Mayor Rob Ford’s scandalous admission to having smoked crack in the past year, it’s been a media circus at Toronto City Hall. And just when we think, “What else could possibly happen?” Mayor Ford leaves us with our jaws on the ground and checking our hearing.When allegations broke about Rob Ford consorting with prostitutes, drinking and driving, infidelity and partying with people of questionable entrepreneurial skills, Ford’s attempt to defend himself was expected. But on Nov. 14, 2013 the ringmaster once again took to the spotlight at Toronto City Hall with yet another shocking statement to the media. We already have a mayor that has been seen drunk in public, screamed in the faces of reporters and admitted to smoking crack cocaine…all while in office. How much worse could it get, right?
Well the 2nd most notable statement of Mayor Rob Ford’s time in office came into play when he uttered the words that made the entire world stop and stare;
"The last thing was, Olivia Gondek says that I wanted to eat her p**sy. I've never said that in my life to her. I would never do that. I'm happily married."
*Olivia Gondek is Ford's former policy adviser.
TMI - Rob Ford's Eating Habits
Crazy right? Fellow readers, pick your jaw up off the ground, because the entire situation just got better with his parting statement; “I have enough to eat at home”. And although he clearly spends a good amount of time in the kitchen, he's certainly not talking about food.I’m still laughing. I’m not privy to politics and generally don’t go out of my way to focus on the topic but I am a news junkie and I’ve gotta’ tell you – it was one of the best moments on live TV that I’ve ever had the pleasure to witness.
See this unprecedented moment for yourself. And make sure you pay attention to the City Hall appointed CP24 reporter, Katie Simpson, at the end when Mayor Rob Ford walks away. Her reaction is priceless!!!
Now, I know that a lot of people were quite upset by Rob Ford's bold statement, but I am curious - are you offended by the lewd statement made by Mayor Rob Ford or did you just shake your head and laugh?
