Mayor Ford Gone Wild

What more can I add to what's been said about Mayor Rob Ford?

Mayor Ford has, while in office, used illegal drugs, been inebriated in public, and driven a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.   He has also been caught driving distracted (apparently, he was reading printed material), and when caught, he gestured as if he was pointing a gun at the witness.  There have been other transgressions by this mayor against the people of the community, and against the finer sensibilities of decent, civil citizens.   This is no way for a government leader to lead.   This mayor has lost his dignity and his respect.

Mayor Ford is truly a politician gone wild.   For the good of his city, for the good of his family and all who are dear to him, and for his own good (not least his own health), he should step aside.  But, alas, this mayor will not go quietly.

One way or the other, Mayor Ford will not be mayor of Toronto much longer.  But the ending is likely to be ugly.

What a shame.
